Completing on a new build house in Tile Hill is a significant investment, but what many buyers discover is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Research suggests that over 90% of newly built properties have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company provides independent new build inspections throughout Tile Hill and nearby communities. Our surveyor brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, 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 issues that a less experienced inspector would walk past are identified and documented.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Tile Hill Makes a Difference

New build homes in Tile Hill show the same range of build quality issues found throughout the country: 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. A trained surveyor with a construction background catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Every report we produce 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 Tile Hill Snagging Inspection

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.

Inside the property, checks cover all rooms and circulation spaces, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, 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 Tile Hill properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all areas of Tile Hill?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company operates across Tile Hill 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 snagging survey in Tile Hill?
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 completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Tile Hill?
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 Tile Hill.
My developer says the property in Tile Hill 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. In Tile Hill as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Tile Hill 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. 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 Tile Hill snagging report?
A professionally produced written report from a qualified surveyor significantly strengthens your position. 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 Tile Hill?
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 Tile Hill 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 Tile Hill?
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 Tile Hill 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 Tile Hill?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Tile Hill. 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 Tile Hill?
A pre-completion inspection (PCI) is a snagging survey carried out before you legally complete the purchase. 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 Tile Hill purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
