Buying a new build house in Foleshill represents one of the largest financial commitments you will make, yet the reality for most new build buyers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Evidence consistently shows that the majority of newly built houses have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company provides independent new build inspections throughout Foleshill and nearby communities. Our surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, is registered with the RPSA, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That background means nothing is overlooked.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Foleshill Makes a Difference

Newly built properties in Foleshill are subject to the same national pattern of defects found throughout the country: 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 identifies both categories systematically.

Every report we produce is formatted to be presented directly to the developer. Each defect is described clearly, located precisely and supported with photographic evidence. Experience shows that a formal written report from a qualified surveyor produces faster, more complete remediation than verbal complaints alone.

The Inspection Process for New Builds in Foleshill

Every survey examines the complete property. Externally, this includes the roof coverings, guttering, downpipes and fascias, brickwork, pointing and render finishes, drainage runs and inspection chambers, and the condition of driveways, paths and any landscaping included in the build.

Internally, the surveyor examines every room in the property, walls and ceilings for cracking, bowing and poor decoration, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, the quality of the kitchen and bathroom fit-out including all plumbing connections, the central heating installation, 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 Foleshill properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all areas of Foleshill?
Quality Snagging Company operates across Foleshill and the nearby towns and villages. 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 far in advance should I book my inspection in Foleshill?
The earlier the better, without exception. For a pre-completion inspection, you need to allow enough time for the survey to take place before your legal completion date. 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 Foleshill?
Inspection days are agreed at booking to suit you and the developer's site access requirements. Contact Quality Snagging Company on 07354 622752 or by email to check current availability in Foleshill.
My developer says the property in Foleshill is finished to a high standard. Do I still need a survey?
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we encounter. A developer's customer care team is not in a position to provide independent verification. An independent surveyor with no commercial relationship with the developer is the only party who can give you an objective assessment of the property's condition. Properties across Foleshill and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Foleshill 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. The full external scope is part of every standard inspection.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Foleshill 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. A follow-up re-inspection after remediation attempts produces an updated record of unresolved items, which strengthens any ongoing claim.
Is thermal imaging worth adding to a snagging survey in Foleshill?
Thermal imaging is one of the most valuable add-ons available for new build inspections. The infrared camera detects surface temperature differences that reveal insulation voids, cold bridges at structural connections and window reveals, and concealed moisture. In a property in Foleshill that is supposed to meet current energy performance standards, an insulation gap found by thermal imaging can justify a warranty claim that saves significantly more than the cost of the add-on.
What makes Quality Snagging Company different from other snagging surveyors covering Foleshill?
The key distinction is the direct construction background of the surveyor. The surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB and is RPSA registered, with over 25 years of direct 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 Foleshill 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. However, the inspection proceeds at the surveyor's methodical pace regardless, and the written report will contain everything you need.
What types of property do you snag in Foleshill?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Foleshill. This includes detached, semi-detached and terraced houses across all sizes, purpose-built apartments in single or multi-block schemes, maisonettes and coach houses. Apartment inspections include the individual unit and, where the buyer wishes, the condition of communal areas.
What is a pre-completion inspection (PCI) and how is it different from a standard snagging survey in Foleshill?
The difference is purely timing: both are a professional inspection of the property's build quality. A pre-completion survey is carried out before legal completion, when the developer has the strongest obligation to remedy defects before handover. The report and inspection process are identical in both cases. For Foleshill buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
