External Snagging Inspection

As part of our standard snagging inspection in Oxfordshire we carry out a thorough check externally including a soil test and aerial photographs. (except apartments)​

Internal Snagging Inspection

Most of our time snagging your property in Oxfordshire​​ will be spent inside as we also check every accessible part of the house, including the loft's insulation.

Thermographic & Borescope

Our 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.

The most comprehensive new-build Snagging Survey in Oxfordshire

Our snagging survey in Oxfordshire 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:
  • External birds-eye aerial photographs of roof and gutters
  • Insulation loft inspection
  • Brickwork and Pointing snagging
  • Issues with your external doors
  • Driveways, paths and inspection chambers 
  • Soil - topsoil and subsoil quality
  • Fencing 
  • Plumbing:  internal leaks / efficiency of heating
  • Flooring levels and blemishes 
  • Ceiling / Walls and Skirting board snagging
  • Corners and ducts are square, ceilings are level and walls are plumb
  • Internal windows: draughts, scratches and damage
  • Internal doors: twisting frames, rattling and un-level doors
  • Levels of sockets, switches and radiators [note we do not inspect according to drawings]
  • Staircase joinery snagging
  • Kitchen: inspect cupboard doors, sizing up the space for appliances, extraction test etc
  • Bathrooms: tiles and fittings
  • Paintwork and Plasterwork snagging
  • Thermal imaging of radiators
For an additional £25 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
Oxfordshire​ 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
Oxfordshire 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

You will also get the option when booking to authorise us to use dot stickers internally. This will help the site quickly identify the snags we have highlighted, from a paint "snot" to an un-level door.
Picture
All our photos internally and externally are time-stamped to ensure there is proof of when the snag was recorded.
This is more reason to push for your snagging inspection to be carried out before completion if possible.

"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"​​
