Snagging & De-Snagging Services
Snagging is the process of identifying and documenting defects or incomplete work in a property before final handover. Common snags include:
- Poorly finished paintwork
- Faulty electrical fittings
- Plumbing leaks
- Door and window alignment issues
- Flooring imperfections
De-Snagging is the follow-up process where all identified defects are rectified before the final sign-off. This ensures that the property is delivered in perfect condition, free from construction-related issues, and meets quality standards.
By implementing effective snagging and de-snagging services, homeowners and developers can ensure a high-quality finish, minimize post-handover complaints, and maintain client satisfaction.
