It is important to note that as part of the pre-completion inspection some equipment such as drones and levels are not permitted and some developers limit our time inside a property.

This is our most popular inspection. We are able to take our time with this inspection and go into more depth in comparison to a pre-completion inspection. We carry out our inspection in relation to both building control standards and warranty provider standards. We are able to use advanced equipment such as a drone, digital self-calibrating levels and lasers.

Drone Survey Included
As Standard
At SNAGrite we include our drone survey on our post-completion inspections for no extra charge. Some companies charge extra for this service but at SNAGrite we don’t believe in charging extra for something that we believe should be part of a standard inspection.
*Weather permitting on the day of inspection and providing flight restrictions aren’t in place in your area
Basic Thermal Survey Included As Standard
At SNAGrite we also include a basic thermal survey as standard on post-completion inspections. This survey highlights issues relating to door and window seals, radiators and under floor heating systems. Some companies charge extra for this service whereas at SNAGrite we think this should also form part of a standard inspection.
