Rich Green

Rich Green

Lead inspector. Qualified electrician.

Rich is a qualified electrician who has spent the last few years on new-build sites, working on stud walls, second fix and the finishing trades. He sees the houses go up, he sees them get signed off, and he sees what the developer’s recommended snaggers walk past.

That is where this business came from. Week after week, defects Rich would never have accepted on his own work were being missed, painted over or ticked off. He decided the buyers deserved someone on their side who actually knew what a finished house is supposed to look like.

Rich holds a CSCS card, which means he can inspect on live sites before you complete.

Andy Penn

Andy Penn

Co-founder. Reports, bookings and everything that isn’t on site.

Andy runs the business side: your booking, your report, your questions before and after. He has spent twenty years making complicated things clear for a living, which is why our reports are written so that a site manager cannot pretend not to understand them.

If you call the office number, it is probably Andy who picks up.

The independence pledge

Four things we will always do, and one we never will.

  • No developer referrals

    We are not on any developer's recommended list and we don't take referral fees from anyone.

  • The report is yours

    It goes to you and nobody else. What you do with it is up to you.

  • Everything we find goes in

    We do not filter findings to keep a site manager sweet. If it is wrong, it is listed.

  • We tell you what we are not

    We are snagging inspectors, not surveyors or your agent. When you need someone else, we will say so.

  • Fully independent

    No developer referrals. We only work for you.

  • Trade qualified

    Qualified electrician, working on new-build sites every week.

  • CSCS carded

    Cleared to inspect on live sites before you complete.

  • Fully insured

    Public liability and professional indemnity cover.
