Buying a new build house in Marston Jabbett represents one of the largest financial commitments you will make, yet the experience for the majority of purchasers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Research suggests that the majority of newly built houses fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company provides independent new build inspections across Marston Jabbett and the surrounding area. Our surveyor brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, holds RPSA registration, and has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That depth of experience means issues that a less experienced inspector would walk past are identified and documented.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Marston Jabbett

Newly built properties in Marston Jabbett are subject to the same national pattern of defects seen across the UK: minor issues such as paint runs and skirting gaps appear alongside structural and building envelope issues including insulation voids, drainage failures and fire compartmentation shortfalls. An inspector who knows how buildings go together finds what a non-specialist would miss.

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. 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 Marston Jabbett

Every survey examines the complete property. 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, floors for levelness, squeaking, gaps and fixing failures, 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, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Marston Jabbett?
Quality Snagging Company covers Marston Jabbett 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 far in advance should I book my inspection in Marston Jabbett?
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 Marston Jabbett?
Availability for Marston Jabbett inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Contact Quality Snagging Company on 07354 622752 or by email to check current availability in Marston Jabbett.
My developer says the property in Marston Jabbett 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. Properties across Marston Jabbett and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Marston Jabbett include external checks?
Yes, the inspection covers both the exterior and interior of the property in full. 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 Marston Jabbett 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. 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 Marston Jabbett?
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 Marston Jabbett 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 Jabbett?
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. 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 Marston Jabbett 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. 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 Marston Jabbett?
All new build residential property types in Marston Jabbett are covered. Detached and semi-detached family homes, terraced properties, apartments, maisonettes and any other new build residential format fall within scope. 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 Jabbett?
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. If you have not yet legally completed your Marston Jabbett purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
