🏗️ Think your new build is finished properly? Look closer…

Even the best construction projects can have issues hiding beneath the surface. With so many moving parts, it’s very common for things to be missed.

Here are 10 of the most common snagging issues we see on site 👇

🚪 Doors & windows that don’t fit properly
🧱 Cracks appearing in walls & ceilings
📏 Uneven floors (yes, really!!)
🚿 Plumbing problems like leaks or low pressure
⚡ Electrical faults or not enough sockets
🎨 Poor paint finishes and missed areas
🧩 Uneven or badly laid tiles
🪚 Crooked fixtures, shelves or fittings
💨 Ventilation issues leading to damp
❄️ Insulation that just isn’t doing its job

These might seem small at first… but left unchecked, they can turn into costly, long term problems.

🔍 That’s where a professional snagging survey comes in.
We find the issues before they become your problem.

🏠 Common Snagging Issues Found in New Build Homes

While you might expect a new build to be perfect… the reality is that many new homes have defects. With developers working to tight deadlines, small issues can sometimes be missed during construction.

In fact, the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey found that 95% of new build buyers reported snags after moving in!

Some of the most common issues identified during snagging surveys include:

🎨 Poor paintwork – streaks, drips, or uneven finishes

🚪 Misaligned doors and windows – difficult to open, close, or lock properly

⚡ Electrical or plumbing issues – loose sockets, faulty fixtures, or leaks

🧱 Cracks in walls or ceilings – often caused by settlement in new homes

❄️ Insufficient insulation – leading to higher energy bills and uncomfortable rooms

If left unresolved, these snags can worsen over time and become costly to repair. A professional snagging survey helps identify issues early so they can be addressed before they become bigger problems.
