Snagging surveys in Bolton

Bolton's new build estates run from Horwich and Blackrod through Westhoughton and out to Bromley Cross. Many sit on higher, more exposed ground on the West Pennine fringe, where wind loading on roof coverings is a genuine issue rather than a theoretical one.

Slipped and lifted ridge tiles, poorly bedded verges and undersized gutter falls make up a disproportionate share of what our drone finds on BL postcodes. Inside, we most often log heating imbalance — one or two radiators barely warming because the system was never properly commissioned.

Farnworth and Little Lever plots are typically tighter urban infill sites, where boundary treatment, shared drainage and driveway levels cause the most disputes at handover.
