External Snagging InspectionAs part of our standard snagging inspection in Cheshire we carry out a thorough check externally including a soil test and aerial photographs. (except apartments)

Internal Snagging InspectionMost of our time snagging your property in Cheshire will be spent inside as we also check every accessible part of the house, including the loft's insulation.

Thermographic & BorescopeOur professional snaggers are experts in heat loss. When booking you can choose a borescope inspection to the cavity wall insulation for just +£25. As part of the full package we carry out a thermographic heat loss survey.

A Snagging Survey in Cheshire typically lasts 3 hours for an apartment and 5 hours for a house, depending upon the size.
We inspect every accessible part of the property, externally and internally. Our inspectors are highly qualified, able to identify poor workmanship with your new build ranging from plumbing to joinery issues. The checks we carry out include:

For an additional £25 on the snagging inspection to your new build in Cheshire, we can also check your insulation. This involves drilling into the mortar of brickwork in a few places (which we will make good afterwards) to check the cavity using a borescope camera.
For apartments in Cheshire we unfortunately do not inspect this; it is only for available on houses due to the difference in how they are constructed and insulated. During this additional inspection we also conduct a thermal camera check of rooms and windows / doors throughout the house to check for heat loss. We find on average between 50-60% of new build houses we snag in Cheshire have draughts either from doors or windows. The main area of heat loss we encounter is through inadequately insulated lofts. This is very common and will effect the energy efficiency of your home drastically. To request this service it will be prompted as an extra during online booking or we can add it to the invoice at a later date
"Snagging - the very name is enough to put you off. No one likes having to deal with problems or hitches. But for anyone who buys a newly built or converted property, the S-word can be crucial. Do it right and you could save yourself thousands of pounds. Do it wrong and you could end up with a problem property"
Most problems with new-build homes are cosmetic and easily fixed. For that reason, a traditional survey is likely to be a little excessive - and this is where snagging surveys come in... We recommend hiring a professional surveyor to conduct your snagging survey"
