Snagging inspections for Leyland new builds
We inspect every type of new build in Leyland 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.

- Farington, Moss Side and Golden Hill housing releases
- Buckshaw and Cuerden border phases
- Longton, Penwortham and Bamber Bridge estates
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 Leyland new builds
Leyland and South Ribble have grown steadily through Farington, Moss Side and Golden Hill, with further volume spilling over from the Buckshaw and Cuerden phases.
The defects we log most often on PR25 and PR26 plots are external: render cracking at window reveals, blocked or mortared weep holes, and gutter joints leaking onto brickwork. Left unreported past the two-year mark, the staining and saturation become your cost rather than the builder's.
Internally, heating commissioning is the recurring theme — radiators or underfloor loops that were never properly balanced. Thermal imaging shows the dead zones in minutes and gives customer care something they can't argue with.
