A photographic snag list documents visible defects and unfinished work. An additional re-snag visit checks the original items after the builder has carried out remedial works.

We inspect the agreed accessible areas and record visible defects, incomplete finishes and workmanship concerns, with photographs and practical descriptions of the items needing attention.
Once your builder confirms the remedial work is ready, we can return to review the original snag list. The follow-up records which accessible items have been addressed and which still need attention.
A re-snag is an additional inspection, quoted and booked separately.
Ask about a re-snagYour snag list can cover a range of visible issues, from the quality of finishes to concerns that need further attention from the builder or a relevant specialist. The scope depends on the property and access agreed.
Paint, plaster, skirting, tiling, sealants, joinery and incomplete or damaged finishes.
Visible gaps, catches, handles, hinges, seals, kitchen units and fitted storage.
Accessible brickwork, sills, vents, external finishes, balconies and visible drainage concerns within the agreed scope.
Exposed or unfinished pipework, cabling and ventilation details that need attention or clarification by the relevant contractor.
Snagging is a visual inspection of accessible areas. It does not include specialist testing of electrical, heating, plumbing or ventilation systems, or certification of planning, building regulations or fire safety compliance.
Your initial report pairs photographs with descriptions so your builder can locate and understand the items raised. At a separately arranged re-snag, the original findings become the reference for checking progress.
Where an item remains unfinished, inaccessible or needs further clarification, that should remain visible in the follow-up rather than being assumed resolved.

Window adjustment still requires attention.
Construction residue removed from brickwork.
