Our Services

Interior

• Fixtures and fittings
  Inspectors check the quality and installation of items like kitchen units, bathroom sanitaryware, and built-in wardrobes. They look for damage, scratches, and alignment issues.

• Finishes
  Walls, ceilings, and woodwork are checked for substandard paintwork, plastering, and general finish quality.

• Doors and windows
  They ensure all windows and doors open, close, and lock properly and check for any scratches on the glazing or poor sealing around the frame.

• Flooring
  The inspector assesses floors for unevenness and defects in the finish, such as chips in tiles or poorly laid carpets.

• Plumbing and electricals
  They test lights, sockets, taps, showers, and appliances to confirm they are correctly installed and functioning.

• Heating and insulation
  Checks are made on the heating system, and the inspector will look in the loft to ensure insulation is fitted correctly. 
   

Exterior

• Walls and roof
  A ground-level visual check is performed on the brickwork, rendering, roof tiles, and gutters to spot any broken, damaged, or poorly installed items.

• Garden, driveway, and garage
  The condition and finish of external areas like driveways and pathways are checked, along with the roof and brickwork of any garages.

• Health and safety
  The inspector will also note any general tidiness issues or safety concerns around the site. 

A comprehensive snagging survey covers both the interior and exterior of the property, as well as garages, driveways, and gardens. Items checked can include: 

• Structural elements
  Inspecting brickwork for alignment, checking for damaged or loose roof tiles, and looking for issues with walls, ceilings, and floors.

• Finishes and fittings
  Assessing the quality of paintwork and plastering, checking that doors and windows operate smoothly and are properly sealed, and ensuring skirting boards are fitted correctly.

• Plumbing and utilities
  Testing heating systems, taps, showers, and electrical sockets, and looking for signs of leaks or faulty connections. Some surveys may use thermal imaging to detect heat loss or dampness.

• Insulation
  Checking for insufficient insulation in the loft and wall cavities. 

The benefits of our thermal imaging inspections extend far beyond energy efficiency. This versatile technology enables us to identify a range of potential problems that might otherwise go unnoticed until they become more serious and costly to repair.
