Snagging Inspections & Clerk of Works Support for New-Build Homes​

---

Independent inspections for homeowners, landlords and developers - across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and surrounding areas. After serving ten years in the British Army, I transitioned into the construction management over a decade ago, beginning as a Trainee Assistant Site Manager while completing a degree in Residential Construction and Development. Over the years, I progressed to Project Manager, delivering private, Section 106, Housing Association and Build to Rent (BTR) developments nationwide.
I earned a reputation for:

• High standards
• Strong client relationships
• A meticulous approach to build quality

Having worked with multiple stakeholders - developers, local authorities, landowners and partners - I understand construction from every angle.
I am a Technical Member of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA), supporting a professional and evidence-based approach to independent inspection and reporting. My passion for raising standards led me to found Castle Snagging Inspections: a business focussed on quality, transparency and protecting homeowners.

Pre-Completion Snagging Inspections for New-Build Homes
A pre-completion inspection (PCI) is a professional inspection carried out before you legally complete on your new-build property.

The inspection identifies visible defects, poor workmanship and unfinished items while the developer still has the opportunity to address them before handover.

​At Castle Snagging Inspections, We inspect properties against recognised industry standards and accepted construction tolerances, providing clear photographic reporting and prioritised findings.
