Snagging inspections for Chorley new builds
We inspect every type of new build in Chorley and across Lancashire, from first-time-buyer apartments to five-bedroom detached homes. A typical inspection logs 100–300 defects — from paint and sealant finish to roof tiles, missing loft insulation, cold bridging and plumbing leaks you'd never spot unaided.
Developments we regularly visit
- Buckshaw Village and Euxton new build phases
- Clayton-le-Woods and Whittle-le-Woods estates
- Adlington, Coppull and Eccleston releases
Included as standard
- Drone roof survey — tiles, flashing, ridge and gutter defects.
- Thermal imaging — missing insulation, cold spots, hidden leaks.
- NHBC/NHQB-aligned PDF report, fully insured and RPSA-accredited.
What we find on Chorley new builds
Chorley's new build supply is dominated by Buckshaw Village and the Euxton, Clayton-le-Woods and Whittle-le-Woods releases — large phased estates where plots are handed over while neighbouring plots are still being built.
That phasing produces a predictable defect pattern: site-traffic damage to driveways and boundary treatments, brickwork with smeared or missing perp joints, and roof detailing rushed at verges and valleys. The drone survey is where most of those get caught.
On the Adlington, Coppull and Eccleston plots closer to the West Pennine fringe, wind exposure matters more — slipped ridge tiles, loose fascias and gutter falls make up a bigger share of the report.
