Snagging Surveys Across Kent
Kent is one of the busiest counties in the South East for new homes. Large schemes around Ebbsfleet, Dartford and Gravesend, steady growth in Ashford and Maidstone, and new estates along the coast mean many buyers collect keys here every year. A professional snagging survey gives you an independent record of every defect, so your developer puts it right at their cost.
Our inspectors cover the whole county, and every survey follows the same 200+ point checklist. You receive a photographic, builder-ready report within 36 hours that you can send straight to your developer.
What We Find in Kent New Builds
Every area has its own building styles and common faults. Here is what our inspectors see most often.
Most new homes in Kent are houses rather than flats, so our inspections cover a lot of outside work as well as the interior. Common issues include:
- Roof tiles, ridge and verge details that are loose, cracked or poorly bedded
- Brickwork with uneven mortar joints, staining or missing weep vents
- Patios, paths and driveways that fall towards the house or hold water
- Garden fencing, gates and drainage left unfinished at handover
- Sealant, decoration and internal doors that need adjusting before you move in
On coastal estates in Thanet, Dover and Folkestone we pay extra attention to windows, render and external seals, which take the brunt of the weather. Our Premium survey adds thermal imaging to find missing insulation and cold spots.

Your Questions Answered
Which parts of Kent do you cover?
We cover 25 towns across Kent, including Dartford, Gravesend, Maidstone, Ashford, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and the coastal towns from Margate to Folkestone. If your town is not listed, call us and we will confirm.
Is a snagging survey worth it for a new house?
Yes. Houses have more external work than flats, such as roofs, brickwork, drainage and gardens, and these are the areas buyers find hardest to check themselves. A survey gives you a full, photographed list to send to your developer.
How much does a snagging survey in Kent cost?
Fixed prices start from £325 for a Pre-Completion Inspection, and there is no deposit to book. The price depends on the survey type and the size of your home. See our pricing page for every option.
When should I book my snagging inspection?
Ideally before you complete, so defects are fixed before you move in. If you have already moved in you can still book: your developer must put right defects reported during the first two years of your new home warranty.
