Follow-up inspection

£400

Only if you need it

When the builder says the snags are done, we check they are.

  • Every item on the original list re-checked
  • New defects caused by the fixes logged
  • Updated report: closed, open, made worse
  • Booked when you are ready, no time limit

Intrusive inspection

£1,000

For when you need to see behind the finishes

Everything in the standard inspection, plus we open things up.

  • Loft insulation lifted and checked for gaps
  • Bath panels and kitchen kickboards removed
  • Socket and switch faceplates off to check terminations
  • Accessible floorboards and hatches lifted
  • Drainage chambers opened and falls checked
  • Borescope into cavities and voids
  • Moisture readings behind fittings
  • Everything reinstated before we leave

Non-intrusive as standard. The inspection and follow-up are visual and functional: we look, test and measure, but we don’t remove fixed parts, lift floors or open sealed units. The intrusive inspection does, with your permission and the developer’s where the home is not yet yours, and every part we remove is put back.

Add-ons. Electrical inspection by a qualified electrician from £150. Travel beyond our standard area is quoted. Prices include VAT where applicable.

Pricing questions

What counts as a larger home?

Five bedrooms or more, homes over about 2,000 square feet, or anything with an annexe or outbuildings. Send us the plot details and we will quote.

When do I pay?

We invoice when the inspection is booked and ask for payment before the report is released. Card or bank transfer.

What if I cancel?

No charge with 48 hours’ notice. Less than that and we charge half, because the slot is lost. If the developer cancels access on the day, we rebook you free.

Is the follow-up compulsory?

No. It is there if you want the repairs checked. Most buyers do, because it is the only way to know.
