Case study: New build snagging inspection

Client: Mr Bryan, Headcorn, Kent

Property: New build detached house, two years old

Challenge:

Concerns about roof condition and chimney structure not inspected during original snagging. Animals accessing roof void. Developer disputes about quality.

Our inspection:

Full roof inspection including dormer windows, gutters, ridge line, chimney, fascias, soffits, and brickwork.

Findings identified:

Loose lead flashing
Twisted chimney stack
Nails left in gutter
Offset chimney
Dormer cheeks dirty with gutter debris
Defective dormer ridge

Outcome:

Client submitted evidence to developer. Developer agreed to carry out all identified works with immediate effect. Potential savings of thousands of pounds.

Client feedback:

“The detail captured was outstanding and helped me make informed decisions much faster than traditional survey methods that would have required scaffolding. I’ve now submitted the evidence and the developer has agreed to carry out the works with immediate effect.”
