About HomeSnag


​HomeSnag was formed in 2015 by the company's Managing Director Tom. It formed under the recognition of poor quality new-build houses and seeing snagging reports carried out by unqualified tradesman which were vague and basic.
He created a unique process snagging new-builds, utilising high-end technology and methods to identify issues and collate them in a detailed report that customers and site managers could easily understand and act on quickly.

The company quickly gained a reputation for offering the most detailed snagging inspection available and has since grown from strength to strength. From the outset it has been the company's priority to ensure customer satisfaction and reassurance. Today, HomeSnag is the country's leading and most sought-after Snagging Company with an NPS customer satisfaction rating of 96 and has inspected over 10,000 properties. 

HomeSnag is the only snagging company that is RICS accredited and we are a member of the Property Ombudsman.

​The company's founder and Managing Director Tom is an  assocRICS building surveyor and a Chartered Member of the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building). He has a Masters (MSc) in Building Surveying as well as Diploma's in Building Surveying, Applied Building Thermography and Building Acoustics. 

Experts in heat-loss

​HomeSnag specialises in heat-loss surveys on new-build houses and we have inspected hundreds of houses with shortfalls such as missing cavity wall / loft insulation, thermal bridging, draughts and damp.
​Most of our surveyors have a background in energy assessment and are are qualified in Building Thermography. This is important because without the knowledge behind using a thermal camera, it can be easy to misdiagnose issues... this is why we only carry out heat loss surveys in the Winter months, early in the morning and with the right conditions.

Specialist equipment

Picture

​

​We were the first surveying company in the UK to utilise cameras able to check the roof of 2 an 3 storey houses. This is a standard part of our inspection and allows our snagging inspectors to see for any damaged ridge / roof tiles and guttering that would otherwise be out of sight. On our snagging surveys we also use specialist equipment such as laser measures, hot water thermometers, soil probes, CO monitors (carbon monoxide) crack guage rulers and thermal cameras.

Detailed reports

​As part of of our snagging survey, we provide a photographic survey alongside an excel version and overview report which shows all the checks carried out. The snag report raises issues, relevant tolerances and the trade responsible to fix the issue.
The aim is for our snag list to assist the site team address the issues quickly.
