What is a Pre-2-Year Warranty Inspection?

A Pre-2-Year Warranty Inspection is a professional snagging survey conducted before your builder’s 2-year warranty expires. It identifies defects in workmanship, materials, plumbing, electrics, heating, and more, allowing you to submit claims while they are still covered by your warranty.

Why should I book an inspection before my warranty expires?

After the 2-year mark, you may be responsible for repair costs. A professional inspection helps uncover hidden issues that may not be immediately visible, ensuring your builder fixes them before the warranty ends—saving you money in the long run.

What does the inspection cover?

Our inspection includes a thorough check of: Structural elements (walls, ceilings, flooring, doors, windows) Plumbing, electrical systems, and heating efficiency Moisture and damp testing Loft space, insulation, and ventilation External areas, including drainage and access points Paintwork, sealants, and general finishing defects

When should I book my Pre-2-Year Warranty Inspection?

We recommend booking your inspection at least 3-6 months before the warranty expires, giving you enough time to submit claims and allow the builder to complete necessary repairs.

What happens if issues are found?

If defects are identified, builders must fix them before the home can pass inspection and be completed
