Expert House Snagging for Home Extensions & Renovation Projects
At Pinnacle Property Surveys, we don’t just inspect new-build homes. We also provide professional Snagging Inspections for home extensions and renovation projects across the UK. Whether you’ve had a new kitchen installed, a loft conversion completed, or undertaken a full property refurbishment, our independent snagging experts ensure all work meets current building regulations and the high standards you expect.
Home improvement projects often involve multiple trades, which means defects, poor workmanship, and unfinished details can easily be overlooked. Our comprehensive snagging surveys are designed to help you identify these issues before final sign-off or releasing the final payment. We highlight both common snags and cosmetic defects, giving you the confidence and evidence needed to hold contractors accountable and ensure everything is completed correctly.
Why Choose a Snagging Company for Your Extension or Renovation?
Home extensions and refurbishment projects are major investments, and even the most reputable builders can overlook crucial details. Issues such as poor plastering, uneven flooring, faulty electrics, or damp ingress are common and, if left unresolved, can lead to costly problems once warranties or retention periods have expired.
By booking an Extensions & Renovation Snagging Inspection, you can:
Ensure all works meet the agreed specification and expected workmanship standards- Identify defects, shortcuts, or potential safety concerns
- Provide your contractor with a clear, professional schedule of rectifications
- Protect your investment before warranties or retention payments expire
- Gain peace of mind that your property has been thoroughly checked by an independent expert
Our inspections cover everything from cosmetic finishes and alignment issues to detailed functional testing of fixtures, fittings, and installed systems. Pre-completion inspections allow problems to be identified and resolved before sign-off, while our post-completion services—including thermal imaging surveys and drone inspections—help confirm compliance with relevant standards and Home Quality Assurance requirements.

What We Inspect at Pinnacle Property Surveys.
Our snagging reports are tailored to the specific works carried out at your property and are designed to identify both visible defects and underlying issues. Typical inspection areas include:
- Wall finishes – paintwork, plastering quality, tiling, cracks, and surface defects
- Flooring installations – levels, gaps, poor joins, damage, and creaking
- Kitchen and bathroom fittings – units, fixtures, plumbing connections, sealing, and alignment
- Doors, windows, skirting and architraves – operation, fitting, gaps, and finish
- Electrical installations – sockets, switches, lighting, fittings, and installed appliances
- Heating systems – radiators, visible pipework, and operational performance
- External elements – roofs, render, extensions, porches, driveways, and external finishes
- Loft conversions and structural elements – insulation, visible structural components, and workmanship
We use a combination of detailed visual inspection techniques and diagnostic tools, such as damp meters and spirit levels, to ensure both cosmetic defects and hidden faults are identified and clearly documented.

Great service from start to finish. The inspection was carried out promptly and thoroughly. Dave found numerous problems which to us appeared to be nothing untoward. The report was received within 24hrs and passed onto our builders who corrected all the problems. We are so relieved to have used PPS and can’t thank Dave enough. For piece of mind I can highly recommend using their services.
