Real Examples

Snags come in all shapes and sizes, not all are as dramatic as the pictures below. Your property should have been built to a certain NHBC standard. Wall tolerances, socket heights, pitch of your driveway. let us check it over and make sure your home is compliant. 

Damp

Just because you cant see it doesn't mean it isn't there, our snag inspection checks moisture levels.

Cracks in plaster work, this needs filling and rubbing back pre paint. Paint work will only highlight this.

Hard to see water leaking from an above balcony, we recommend all properties get the walls moisture levels checked. You never know what is going on above you or next to you. 

Missing detail .  Believe it or not these things happen.  We shouldn't take render directly to the window, movement will make it crack and worse case scenario, water ingress. This render had to be cut back and a silicone bead installed .

Finish around wall/ceiling furniture. this has been moved or reinstalled and needs patching. 

Door furniture, this one drives us mad. They have cut where the hinge will sit to large and used a mixture of screws. No excuse for sloppy workmanship. 

Door adjustment needed, to the average eyes this may not be an issue. To us it is, it will wear your carpet and cost you in the long run when you have to replace it. 

Wall and skirting out of tolerance, developer was required to rebuild square. A revisit from ourselves to sign it off and to give the new home owner some piece of mind.

 A whole lot wrong in this photo. Missing sealant, this is a small one but if left over time could turn nasty. Water behind the skirting or under the floor could lead to a whole manner of issues from damp, mould and shorting electrics.
