FAQ
New Build Snagging Repairs questions, answered
What counts as a snag?+
A snag is any defect or unfinished item in a new build — from poorly hung doors and paint marks to grout gaps and loose fittings.
Shouldn't the builder fix snags for free?+
Often yes, within the contract. TradesHero is ideal for snags outside that cover, post-handover issues, or when you'd prefer to manage repairs yourself.
Do you do snag list inspections?+
Many trades and surveyors on TradesHero can inspect and produce a snag list, then carry out or quote the repairs.
How soon can snags be fixed?+
Post your list and verified trades can often respond the same day, with most cosmetic snags fixed quickly.
