Snag List Kildare – New Home? Let Us Check It Properly

Think your new-build home is problem-free? Think again. Many houses across Kildare are handed over with hidden faults, from rushed finishes to serious structural issues. A proper snag list can save you money, time, and hassle.

Snag Spotters is your local snagging inspection company. We work across all of County Kildare, helping homeowners spot faults their builder didn’t. Our job is to find what’s wrong so you don’t have to.

What Makes a Good Snagging List?

A proper snagging list goes beyond spotting a scuffed wall or a loose hinge. It covers everything from structural gaps to insulation problems and safety concerns. Our snagging reports are based on a 300-point checklist and include photographs and clear descriptions.

You’ll receive:

• A full list of internal and external issues

• Supporting images for each item

• Notes on location and severity

• A ready-to-use PDF report

This report gives you the confidence to go back to your builder with proof of what needs fixing.

Whether you’re buying your first home or adding to your portfolio, we help ensure your property is finished to a proper standard.

When Should You Book a Snagging Inspection?

Ideally, a snagging inspection should be carried out before you move in. But if you’re already living in the house, it’s not too late.

Good times to book:

• Pre-handover (if the builder allows access)

• Just after moving in

• Before your 12-month warranty deadline

• If you’re unsure about work quality

We often inspect homes at the 10- to 11-month mark so you can raise final issues before your builder’s defect period ends.

What We Check

We inspect every part of the property using a clear, methodical approach. Here’s a sample of what’s included in your snagging list:

Internal Checks

• Walls, ceilings, and paint finishes

• Floor levels, tile alignment, gaps

• Window fittings and seals

• Door alignment, handles, and locks

• Kitchens and fitted units

• Bathrooms and plumbing

• Radiators and heating systems

• Electrical fittings and sockets

• Insulation and ventilation

External Checks

• Brickwork, render, and walls

• Roof tiles and gutters

• Fascia and soffits

• Driveways and paths

• Fencing and gates

• Garden drainage and slopes

• Ventilation and air bricks

• Roofline detailing

We do not dismantle or drill into any part of your home. Our inspections are visual, thorough, and backed by building knowledge.

What Happens After the Inspection?

Once the inspection is complete, we email you the full snagging report within 1 to 2 working days. You can:

• Review it for peace of mind

• Send it directly to your builder

• Include it in legal documents if needed

• Keep it as a record for future reference

If you or your builder need help understanding anything in the report, we’re happy to answer questions afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a snag list for a home I’ve already moved into?

Yes. Many homeowners in Kildare contact us after they’ve moved in. If you’re still within your builder’s 12-month defect period, you can still request repairs using the snagging report.

How long does a snagging inspection take?

Most inspections take between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the property. We take our time and don’t rush the process.

Do you send the report to my builder?

Yes. If requested, we can send your snagging list directly to your builder or solicitor. You’ll also receive a copy by email.

What if the builder disagrees with your report?

Builders sometimes push back, but your report is clear and fact-based. We include photos and technical notes so it’s easy to raise concerns with the developer or warranty provider.

Do you cover the whole of Kildare?

Yes. We serve all towns and villages across County Kildare. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just ask,  we’ll confirm it right away.
