New-Build Snagging Company Hertfordshire

We find the issues with your new-build before its too late

Welcome to the UK's premier new-build snagging company! Our team of expert snaggers is committed to identifying any snags that may have been overlooked during the construction of new-build properties throughout Hertfordshire and beyond. As an award-winning company, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality surveys and services to our clients.

Our experienced snaggers use advanced equipment to detect any issues and utilise bespoke software to provide an efficient photographic snag list that your developer can act upon promptly. You can trust our expertise and commitment to excellence since we are the only Snagging Company in the UK regulated by RICS.

We offer two types of surveys customized to meet your needs. Our Pre-Completion Inspections (PCI) are conducted before the keys are handed over to you, while our Post-Completion Snagging Surveys are performed after you have moved in. Additionally, we provide thermal heat loss surveys during the winter months to ensure that your property is as energy-efficient as possible.
What sets us apart from other nationwide snagging companies is that our inspectors are all certified surveyors, providing an unrivaled level of knowledge and experience. We operate in all the primary towns in Hertfordshire, including St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, Watford, Welwyn Garden City, and Hertford.

Booking your survey online is convenient and easy. Choose the survey that best suits your needs, and let us take care of the rest.

Pre Completion Inspection

A Pre-Completion Inspection (PCI) follows a specific checklist designed by the NHQB (New Homes Quality Board) to provide homeowners yet to move in with a list specifying if areas of the property have met its standards or not.
The PCI is only suitable pre-completion and is issued within just 24 hours.

Snagging Survey

Our snagging survey is generally more in-depth than a Pre Completion Inspection as it is not restricted to the the NHQB checklist; rather expanded to include issues that are out of tolerance according to the standards of the NHBC and Building Regulations.
This survey is only carried out after completing (unless consent granted by developer) and is issued within 48 hours.

New-build snagging in Cambridgeshire

At our snagging company, we offer two levels of inspections for your new build property: a Pre Completion Inspection (PCI) and a Snagging Survey. While a PCI is limited in terms of the equipment we can use and the checks we can perform compared to a Snagging Survey, it's an excellent opportunity for us to identify and report important issues to the developer before you move into your new home. We operate in all the towns and cities in Hertfordshire.

Our PCI report is delivered to you within 24 hours, and we can also send it directly to the site manager if we have their email address. This inspection can detect significant issues such as blocked drains, leaks, damaged units, and substandard workmanship in brickwork, joinery, flooring, plumbing, tiling, plastering, and more.

For a more comprehensive inspection, we recommend our Snagging Survey. This allows us to use more specialised equipment and inspect areas that are not easily visible, such as the roof, under baths, heating systems using thermal cameras, and checking the loft. Our Snagging Survey report, which adheres to NHBC tolerances, is delivered within 48 hours. To give you an idea of what we check during a Snagging Survey, here's a summary of some of the areas we inspect in Hertfordshire:

brickwork inc weep vents etc
inspection chambers
thermal imaging of radiators / UFH
soil quality test
roof and guttering
garage & any boundary walls etc
groundwork
loft inspection
electrical test on sockets

plumbing
Co (Carbon Monoxide) test
levels of floors, walls and ceilings

"In November 2017, the family hired independent inspection company HomeSnag to do a report - and they identified nearly 150 problems"

"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"

"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"
