New Builds
New Builds
Buying a new home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make - and it’s easy to overlook potential issues in the excitement of it all. While you could carry out an inspection yourself, most homeowners don’t have the time, tools or construction knowledge to spot every defect. That’s where we come in. Our team carries out detailed, independent snagging surveys that highlight problems early, so you’re not left chasing repairs later. We’re here to make sure your new home is truly ready - giving you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
Extensions
Extensions
Have you recently had major renovation work done and now feel uncertain about the finish or quality? If something doesn’t seem quite right – or you simply want a second, professional opinion – we’re here to help. Led by former property developer Nigel, our team brings decades of hands-on experience to every inspection. We assess your project with fresh, independent eyes, identifying what meets UK building standards and what falls short. Whether it’s minor detailing or more serious concerns, we’ll provide honest, expert insight to help you move forward with confidence.
Refurbishments
Refurbishments
If you’ve recently bought or refurbished a property and want reassurance that everything has been finished to a high standard, our refurbishment snagging survey is here to help.

Using specialist tools and a strong understanding of UK building regulations, we check for the things you might not see – so you can be confident your home is safe, sound, and ready to enjoy.
What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
All Of Our Reviews Are Taken From Google
We had a great experience with Nigel & his team. The snagging occurred at a convent time they provided a detail report flagging a number of issues which we wouldn’t have noticed for months, any might not have been fixed without the report. It is well worth the money and we couldn’t recommend them enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find the answers to common questions about snagging surveys and property inspections. If you need advice about your own home or building work, feel free to get in touch.
Why Should I Use A Snagging Company?
Using a professional snagging company gives you an independent assessment when moving into a new property or after having building work carried out.
You can inspect a home yourself, but defects and workmanship issues are not always obvious without construction experience. A snagging survey gives you an experienced second set of eyes and a written record of the issues identified.
What Is A Professional Inspection?
A professional snagging inspection examines a property for defects, unfinished items and workmanship issues that may require attention.
Surrey Snagging brings over 35 years of hands-on construction experience to this process, helping you understand the condition and finish of the areas inspected.
Identifying Defects?
Experienced professionals can recognise defects and poor finishes that may be easy to miss during your own inspection. This can include visible workmanship and functionality concerns within the property.
Having these issues identified gives you a clearer idea of what may need to be raised with your builder, developer or contractor.
Detailed Documentation?
Surrey Snagging provides a detailed report covering defects found during the inspection. This documentation can be invaluable when liaising with builders or developers to rectify issues.
Instead of relying on memory or trying to explain concerns verbally, you have a written report that clearly records the findings of your survey.
Peace Of Mind?
Having an experienced inspector check your property can give you greater clarity about its condition and finish.
A full snagging report also gives you written evidence of items that may have been missed or poorly finished, putting you in a better position to point out defects when liaising with your builder or developer.
Better Negotiation Power?
A detailed property inspection can give you clearer information about defects and workmanship issues before you discuss them with the relevant builder, developer or contractor.
Rather than relying solely on your own observations, you have an independent report that documents what was identified during the survey.
What Are Snags?
When building work nears completion, it is normal for outstanding items to require further work, adjustment or repair. These are commonly known as snags.
On a busy site, some items can easily be missed. A professional snagging inspection provides an independent check designed to identify and document issues that still require attention.
Cost Of Inspection?
1 & 2 bed flats £300
2 bed house £375
3 bed house £415
4 bed house £449
5 bed house £499
Can I Book A Post-Completion Snagging Survey?
Yes. If you have already moved into your new home or recently completed extension or refurbishment work, a post-completion snagging survey can still help identify outstanding defects and workmanship issues.
