ScotSnag inspectors have worked in the construction industry for over 30 years and have gained a wealth of experience in how new homes are built. We have advanced knowledge of the NHBC building standards, and strive to ensure that these are upheld in your new home.
Our snagging inspectors will pick up a lot more snagging defect’s than someone with an untrained eye would. Even small defects can potentially lead to serious problems in later years.The cost of fixing these defects in the future can be expensive, so better to catch them early and have them remedied by your builder for no cost.
Following the NHBC guidelines, our team will visually inspect the interior and exterior of your home, and note any defects found. We will also perform thermal imaging and Heating system tests on your home.
You will receive a full PDF report emailed to you within 48 hours of our visit, with images of the defects and text explaining what and where the issues are.
A “Customer Pack” will be delivered straight to your door, which includes hard copies of your PDF report, as well as information on the building regulator NHBC, so you know who to contact if you builder is not willing to fix the issues raised.
WHAT IS A SNAGGING INSPECTION?
A snagging inspection is a process of picking up defects (snags) or omissions within a property. This usually refers to a new build and can help you make sure that you receive exactly what you pay for from your developer. Whilst the word Snagging is not the contractual term, it is used as a slang term within the industry.
