Built on Real Repair & Maintenance Experience
Snagmaster SW is a specialist snagging inspection company, backed by real-world experience in property repairs and maintenance.
Before focusing solely on snagging surveys, our background was hands-on… dealing with the consequences of poor workmanship, shortcuts and unfinished work. That means we don’t just spot snags; we understand why they matter, how they should be fixed, and what a proper repair actually looks like!
This practical experience allows us to identify issues that may cause problems later, spot the difference between minor cosmetic snags and more serious defects, and clearly explain how your builder should put things right
We know what good workmanship looks like, and we hold your developer to that standard.

Frequently asked questions
What is snagging?
Snagging is the essential task of identifying any issues present in your newly constructed, or newly renovated property. These issues can vary from leaks and heating malfunctions, floors, and walls, damaged fixtures, missing insulation, subpar joinery and poor decoration.
What is a snagging survey?
A snagging survey is a detailed inspection of a new-build property to identify defects, poor workmanship, or unfinished items. A professional snagging survey highlights issues such as cosmetic defects, fitting problems, and build quality concerns, allowing your developer to fix them before or shortly after you move in.
Do I need a snagging survey on a new-build property?
While snagging surveys are not a legal requirement, they are highly recommended for all new-build homes. Even brand-new properties can have dozens of snags. A snagging survey helps ensure your home meets expected standards and gives you a clear, professional report to share with your builder under warranty.
When is the best time to book a snagging survey?
The ideal time to book a snagging survey is just before completion, if your developer allows access. If not, a post-completion snagging survey can be carried out as soon as you receive your keys. Both options help identify issues early so they can be resolved quickly and efficiently.
How much does a snagging report cost?
You can get an instant quote for your new build snagging survey with our quick quote calculator, by giving us a call. If you’re happy with the quote, simply get in touch to book in your survey, and we’ll take care of the rest.
