Snagging Checklist

The Snagging Checklist

The Snagging Checklist is a practical inspection worksheet designed to help homeowners, self-builders, contractors and contract administrators identify, record and monitor incomplete or defective work towards the end of a building project.

The checklist can be worked through room by room and system by system. Each entry includes space to describe the action required, confirm when the item has been completed and record the relevant date.

What the Snagging Checklist Covers

The document includes checks relating to:

• Brickwork, pointing, render and external cladding
• Roof coverings, ridges, verges and flashings
• Gutters, downpipes and external decoration
• Paths, patios and driveways
• Windows and external doors
• Internal and external floor finishes
• Walls, ceilings and decorations
• Skirting boards, architraves and internal doors
• Staircases and associated finishes
• Kitchen units, worktops, appliances and seals
• Bathrooms, en-suites and sanitary fittings
• Electrical fittings, lighting and alarms
• Plumbing, heating and hot-water systems
• Cleaning and removal of waste materials
• Keys, manuals, guarantees and warranties
• Completion and commissioning certificates
• Outstanding items and final sign-off

What You Will Receive

You will receive an eight-page PDF checklist suitable for printing and completing during an inspection. The document includes columns for recording the required corrective action, completion status and date, together with a final section for outstanding items and project sign-off.

The checklist is intended as a general project record and inspection aid. It is not an exhaustive survey and does not replace inspections, testing or certification by Building Control, warranty providers or appropriately qualified construction professionals.

Items should be adapted to suit the project, and any defects affecting safety, structure, weather resistance or building services should be referred to the relevant professional or contractor.
