External Snagging InspectionAs part of our standard snagging inspection in Essex 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 Essex will be spent inside as we also check every accessible part of the house, including the loft's insulation.

Thermographic & BorescopeWhen booking you will be prompted whether to include a thermal camera test & borescope inspection for just +£45. Note that this is only available on houses, not apartments.

Our snagging survey in Essex typically lasts 3 hours for an apartment and 5 hours for a house, depending upon the size. Our inspector will arrive between 8-10am and snag every part of your property including:

For an additional £45 on the snagging inspection 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 and using a borescope camera.
For apartments in Essex we unfortunately do not inspect this; it is only for available on houses. We also conduct a thermal camera check of internal upstairs rooms and windows / doors throughout the house to check for heat loss. Although your house will have air test paperwork, often it is not actually your house that was tested and we find on average between 50-60% of new build houses we snag in Essex have draughts. This 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"
