Professional snagging inspections with fast, reliable reporting
Buying a new-build home in Birmingham? Make sure it’s delivered to the standard you expect. Our expert snagging surveys uncover both cosmetic and structural issues, giving you the confidence to move in with peace of mind — or the proof to hold your builder to account.
- Independent and impartial: We work solely on behalf of homeowners not builders or developers. That means you get a completely honest, unbiased inspection and a report you can trust.
- Experienced construction professionals: Our inspectors have over 20 years of experience in the building trade and understand the practical realities behind rushed finishes, poor craftsmanship and common developer oversights.
- Rapid, detailed reporting: You’ll receive a full digital snagging report — with photographs and clear explanations — within 24 to 48 hours of inspection.
- Thermal imaging available: We use specialist tools like thermal cameras to identify hidden issues such as missing insulation or air leaks that wouldn’t be visible otherwise.
- Tailored for every home: Whether you’ve bought a city centre apartment, a new family home in the suburbs, or a renovated property, we tailor every inspection to the specifics of your build.
