The most comprehensive new-build Snagging Survey in Cheshire. 

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:

  • External aerial inspection of roof tiling and gutters
  • Loft joinery and insulation inspection
  • Brickwork; damage and poor workmanship
  • Door installation externally and internally, including checking for draughts.
  • Groundwork (Driveways, paths and garage) 
  • Soil - topsoil and subsoil quality. 
  • Fencing snagging
  • Plumbing: checks of efficient heating and for leaks
  • Checks on flooring levels (before and after laid)
  • Ceiling levels and wall levels, raising those out of tolerance according to the NHBC
  • Corners and wall edges are square inc skirting and coving
  • Fenestration: the installation of your windows inc damage
  • Internal joinery: twisted doors within frames, rattling and un-level architraves etc
  • Levels of all sockets, switches and radiators 
  • Staircase joinery inspection
  • Kitchen inspection to all drawers cupboards and units, checking for damage and width for appliances.
  • Tiling quality inspection
  • Paintwork and Plastering snagging, 
  • Thermal imaging of radiators to check for efficiency and where the pipes run if possible fyi to avoid accidents.

A choice when booking is for us to use dot stickers to highlight the snags. This will help the site quickly identify the areas we have highlighted in the report, from a paint "snot" to an un-level door.

The snagging report is also time stamped to provide proof of when the snag was recorded. This is useful so that any damage does not get questioned as potentially being your fault. This is even if the builder do not immediately come to rectify the work.
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"
Picture
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"​​
