Completing on a new build home in Frankton is a significant investment, but the experience for the majority of purchasers is that the build quality does not always match the developer's marketing. Industry data indicates that the majority of newly built houses fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company offers independent snagging surveys for new build buyers in Frankton and the wider region. 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 defects are not missed.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Frankton Makes a Difference

New build homes in Frankton show the same range of build quality issues seen across the UK: cosmetic problems like poorly finished paintwork, misaligned tiles and ill-fitting doors sit alongside structural and building envelope issues including insulation voids, drainage failures and fire compartmentation shortfalls. A trained surveyor with a construction background catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Every report we produce are structured to be used directly with the developer's customer care team. Every item is photographed, precisely located and described in plain terms. Experience shows that a formal written report from a qualified surveyor produces faster, more complete remediation than verbal complaints alone.

What We Check During a Frankton Snagging Inspection

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. Outside, the inspection covers all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, masonry, render and the condition of all external wall surfaces, drainage runs and inspection chambers, and the condition of driveways, paths and any landscaping included in the build.

Internally, the surveyor examines all rooms and circulation spaces, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, floors for levelness, squeaking, gaps and fixing failures, the quality of the kitchen and bathroom fit-out including all plumbing connections, heating systems and radiator installations, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, the full electrical installation, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Frankton?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Frankton and the wider region. Contact the team on 07354 622752 to confirm your exact postcode is covered.
How soon should I book my inspection in Frankton?
The earlier the better, without exception. A pre-completion survey needs to be booked several weeks before your anticipated completion to allow access to be arranged with the developer. If completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Frankton?
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 Frankton property.
My developer says the property in Frankton 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. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. In Frankton as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Frankton 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 Frankton snagging report?
Having a formal, evidenced report from a CIOB member surveyor is the single most important step in any dispute. If the developer does not respond adequately, the report can be submitted to the NHBC as part of a Buildmark warranty claim or to the New Homes Ombudsman. 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 Frankton?
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. Given the energy efficiency standards new homes in Frankton 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 Frankton?
The primary difference is the depth of construction qualification behind every inspection. 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. With a 5/5 Trustpilot rating, the results speak for themselves.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Frankton property?
Yes, buyers are welcome to be present. 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 Frankton?
All new build residential property types in Frankton are covered. Detached and semi-detached family homes, terraced properties, apartments, maisonettes and any other new build residential format fall within scope. 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 Frankton?
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. Both produce the same written report format. If you have not yet legally completed your Frankton purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
