Professional New Build Snagging Inspection
Over 20 years’ experience in the construction industry.
Covering areas in England and North Wales!
Pre Completion Inspection
In line with the latest guidelines and format provided by the NHQB (the New Homes Quality Board), Snag Safe are at the forefront of carrying out pre completion inspections across England and Wales. Released in 2022, this was implemented to give homeowners a checklist-style summary of the condition of the property before moving in. Beforehand, it was common for developers to refuse us access to carry out snagging surveys, but the New Build Ombudsman changed this (alongside other rules) for developers to follow.
The benefit of our Pre Completion Inspection includes:
✔ An easy to understand list room-by-room of areas that meet or do not meet standards according the the NHQB
✔ Quick turnaround: you will have the pdf report within just 48 hours
✔ Optional extras including Drone Footage or a room measuring service

Frequently Asked Questions
Please see below for our frequently asked questions. If you have anymore questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
How quickly will I get my report?
You will receive your report within 5 working days after the site inspection. If you require a rush service please let us know.
When is the best time to have a snagging survey?
The best time would be 1 week before completion. Unfortunately builders can deny access until you have the keys, in this case we ask for you to book us for the day after.
Can I have a snagging inspection done after I move in?
Yes, you have 2 years after completion to report any snags to the house builder who must rectify them free of charge. Our snagging service will provide you with a visual survey so you are able to get the repairs done without fuss.
Why should I have a snagging survey?
Due to the increasing amount of houses developers are needing to build to meet their quota, short cuts can be taken to meet demand, leaving houses unsafe and with mistakes that could cost thousands down the line. Our inspections give you peace of mind, knowing that you are able to provide the house builder with evidence of works that need to be rectified and completed.
