Completing on a new build house in Chessetts Wood is a significant investment, yet the experience for the majority of purchasers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Industry data indicates that the majority of newly built houses have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging inspections across Chessetts Wood and the surrounding area. Our surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, holds Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building, is registered with the RPSA, and has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That background means issues that a less experienced inspector would walk past are identified and documented.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Chessetts Wood Makes a Difference

New build homes in Chessetts Wood show the same range of build quality issues seen across the UK: minor issues such as paint runs and skirting gaps appear alongside more serious concerns like incomplete cavity wall insulation, drainage deficiencies and gaps in fire stopping. A trained surveyor with a construction background catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Quality Snagging Company's reports is formatted to be presented directly to the developer. Every item is photographed, precisely located and described in plain terms. Developers are far more likely to respond to a professionally produced independent report than to a homeowner's informal list.

What We Check During a Chessetts Wood Snagging Inspection

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. Externally, this includes all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, masonry, render and the condition of all external wall surfaces, external drainage, hardstanding and all communal or curtilage areas.

Internally, the surveyor examines all rooms and circulation spaces, walls and ceilings for cracking, bowing and poor decoration, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, kitchens and bathrooms for fixing, sealing, tiling, plumbing and appliance installation, heating systems and radiator installations, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, electrical installations including sockets, switches, consumer unit and any EV charging provision, the roof void where safe access exists.

Specialist add-on inspections available for Chessetts Wood properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all areas of Chessetts Wood?
Quality Snagging Company covers Chessetts Wood and the wider region. If you are unsure whether your specific postcode falls within the service area, call 07354 622752 or email qualitysnaggingco@outlook.com and the team will confirm.
How quickly should I book my inspection in Chessetts Wood?
As early as possible is always the answer. A pre-completion survey needs to be booked several weeks before your anticipated completion to allow access to be arranged with the developer. If you have already completed, do not delay, as the earlier in the two-year warranty period the survey takes place, the stronger your position.
Can I choose my inspection day in Chessetts Wood?
Inspection days are agreed at booking to suit you and the developer's site access requirements. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Chessetts Wood property.
My developer says the property in Chessetts Wood is finished to a high standard. Do I still need a survey?
Yes, absolutely, and it is a very familiar position for new build buyers to be in. A developer's customer care team is not in a position to provide independent verification. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. In Chessetts Wood as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Chessetts Wood include external checks?
Absolutely, both the external building envelope and the full interior are inspected. External checks include roof coverings, rainwater goods, brickwork, pointing, render, windows, doors, drainage and all external hard and soft landscaping included in the build specification. No additional fee applies for the external checks; they form part of the standard survey.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Chessetts Wood snagging report?
Having a formal, evidenced report from a CIOB member surveyor is the single most important step in any dispute. The NHBC Buildmark warranty and the New Homes Ombudsman Service both exist to support buyers in exactly this situation, and both require documented evidence of defects. We can also carry out a re-inspection to confirm which defects remain outstanding, giving you an updated record for any formal process.
Is thermal imaging worth adding to a snagging survey in Chessetts Wood?
For most new build buyers, thermal imaging is a worthwhile addition to the standard survey. It identifies heat loss through insulation gaps and cold bridges, and picks up moisture ingress behind finishes before it has caused visible damage. Given the energy efficiency standards new homes in Chessetts Wood are expected to meet, any insulation deficiency can have a measurable impact on heating costs.
What makes Quality Snagging Company different from other snagging surveyors covering Chessetts Wood?
The key distinction is the direct construction background of the surveyor. The surveyor carries a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, CIOB Chartered Membership, RPSA registration and more than a quarter century of site and industry experience. That background means the inspection is conducted by someone who knows exactly how a building should be put together, not just what a completed surface should look like. The company holds a 5/5 rating on Trustpilot, reflecting consistent standards of inspection quality and report clarity.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Chessetts Wood property?
You are welcome to attend the inspection. Being present means you can hear the surveyor's observations first-hand and ask questions as the inspection progresses. Whether or not you attend, the written report is comprehensive and stands alone as a complete record.
What types of property do you snag in Chessetts Wood?
All new build residential property types in Chessetts Wood are covered. This includes detached, semi-detached and terraced houses across all sizes, purpose-built apartments in single or multi-block schemes, maisonettes and coach houses. For apartments, common areas, entrance lobbies, stairwells and any external amenity areas can also be inspected.
What is a pre-completion inspection (PCI) and how is it different from a standard snagging survey in Chessetts Wood?
A pre-completion inspection (PCI) is a snagging survey carried out before you legally complete the purchase. A PCI takes place before exchange or completion and gives you formal evidence of defects while the developer is still contractually motivated to resolve them before you take ownership. Both produce the same written report format. For Chessetts Wood buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
