Professional Landscape Contractors in Ipswich

A snag is a defect found in your property after building work is complete. A snag is typically something that is damaged or broken, not fitted properly, or generally unfinished or incomplete. Snags vary from minor to major but are typically minor cosmetic issues, such as a scratch on a window, a missing door hinge, or a crack on a work surface. However, minor snags may not cause problems in the short term but if these are not rectified in an appropriate manner, they can become a more serious issue in the future. Major snags on the other hand are still very common and should be dealt with immediately as these generally violate building regulations and technical standards. These kind of major snags are typically missed by the average home owner, without the experience and training or the correct equipment that is necessary to identify them. Our inspectors are all experienced professionals and work to current building regulations and technical standards to ensure all snags, minor and major, are identified and reported.

Anyone that is buying, or has already purchased, a new-build property within the last two years will benefit from a professional snagging survey. If you want to make sure your property is built to a high build standard or would like peace of mind that your home has been built safely, a snagging survey is what you require.

Our snagging inspectors will thoroughly examine all areas that can be visually accessed both internally and externally on each property. We will identify any cosmetic issues or damages as well as plumbing, electrical, carpentry, loft and cavity wall insulation issues (with our thermal camera), tiling, mastic, cleaning, plastering, painting and all external finishing. We check that every property is compliant to technical standards and building regulations and include a thermal imaging service to gather evidence to defects that require further investigation. Our thermal imaging will identify any cold spots or draughts around windows or doors and can find faults with heating systems like radiators or under floor heating. Our goal is to leave you feeling satisfied knowing that your new home will be finished to the quality which you expected.

All our Surveys include Warranty Provider standards and Building Regulation referencing throughout the report, priorities, marked up images and detailed descriptions. Further details on this and much more can be found on the Our Surveys page.
