Why do I need a professional snagging company?

The Snag Man uses his extensive knowledge, experience, equipment and tools to ensure your home is professionally inspected. We cover all aspects of your new build to ensure you are turning your house into a home.

When should I have my new home inspected?

As soon as possible after completion. Ideally, before you move in as an empty property is easier to inspect but also ensures no damage has occurred before occupancy, however, inspections can still be completed when occupied.

How long does the snagging inspection take?

This all depends on size of property and how many snags are found. An approximate time for a 3 bedroom house is 4-6 hours.

What is a snagging report?

A snagging report is a thorough and detailed checklist of defects identified during a visual inspection of your new home, garden and outbuildings. The report includes photos and descriptions of each snag identified. We will check the following but this is not an exhaustive list:

• External envelope to include brickwork, fencing, driveways, gardens etc.

• Compliant paperwork, gas corgi certificate, electrical installation certificate, etc.

• Doors, windows and ironmongery are installed correctly

• Kitchen units, tiling and flooring

• Bathroom suite and tiling

• All internal spaces including lofts

• Damage caused during construction or installation

• General workmanship on finishes and joinery

• Operational checks on sockets/lighting/accessories etc.

• Plumb and level checks on walls, openings etc.

• Fire and smoke alarm test

• Appliances have been commissioned/ working as expected

• Visual plumbing review

How long will it take to receive my report?

We aim to send your report within 24 hours of receiving payment for the detailed inspection carried out.
