Building Work Ongoing? Check It Before It gets Covered Up

---

If your property is being built, extended, or renovated, the most serious defects are often hidden before you ever see them.

🔍 We now offer a Pre-Plaster Inspection — carried out before walls and ceilings are closed up — so you can catch problems early and avoid costly repairs later.

👉 View Pre-Plaster Inspection Details

From just £249 – A small cost compared to fixing hidden defects later!

⚠️ Once plastered, most defects are no longer visible

Areas That We Cover

Scheduled inspection visits are also available for new-build snagging surveys in Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor and surrounding areas.
