The excitement of moving into a brand-new property shouldn't blind you to the importance of ensuring it's free from any defects. This is where the role of a snagging inspector becomes invaluable.

One technology that has proven indispensable in this domain is thermal imaging. Employing infrared cameras, thermal imaging is a non-destructive and non-invasive technique that unveils heat patterns to spot a myriad of problems lurking within buildings.

One crucial stage often understated is snagging – a process that identifies and rectifies defects in new or renovated homes.
