Buying a new build home in Marston represents one of the largest financial commitments you will make, but the experience for the majority of purchasers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Industry data indicates that over 90% of newly built properties fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company provides independent snagging inspections throughout Marston and nearby communities. The surveyor behind every inspection brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, holds Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building, holds RPSA registration, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That depth of experience means nothing is overlooked.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Marston

New build homes in Marston 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. An inspector who knows how buildings go together catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Quality Snagging Company's reports are structured to be used directly with the developer's customer care team. 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.

What We Check During a Marston Snagging Inspection

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

Inside the property, checks cover 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, electrical installations including sockets, switches, consumer unit and any EV charging provision, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all parts of Marston?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Marston 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 soon should I book my snagging survey in Marston?
As early as possible is always the answer. 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 Marston?
Availability for Marston inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Contact Quality Snagging Company on 07354 622752 or by email to check current availability in Marston.
My developer says the property in Marston 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 Marston as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Marston include external checks?
Yes, the inspection covers both the exterior and interior of the property in full. Outside the property, the surveyor examines the roof, guttering, walls, window and door installations, external drainage and all areas within the property's curtilage. 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 Marston 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 Marston?
For most new build buyers, thermal imaging is a worthwhile addition to the standard survey. 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 Marston 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 Marston?
The primary difference is the depth of construction qualification behind every inspection. 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. With a 5/5 Trustpilot rating, the results speak for themselves.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Marston 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 Marston?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Marston. 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 Marston?
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. The report and inspection process are identical in both cases. If you have not yet legally completed your Marston purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
