Surface Repair for Housebuilders — Pre and Post Handover Defect Resolution

Housebuilders face surface repair requirements at two distinct stages — pre-handover snagging resolution before practical completion, and post-completion defect repair during the defects liability period.

Pre-Handover Snagging

In the final weeks before practical completion, surface defects are identified in the snagging process. Chipped worktops, scratched floors, tile chips, door damage and bath chips are among the most common snagging items across all new build developments.

We work alongside other snagging contractors in the pre-handover programme, resolving surface defects efficiently to programme. Our technicians are experienced in working on occupied and semi-occupied new build sites.

Post-Completion Defects Period

Surface defects identified by purchasers during the 12-month defects liability period require prompt response. Our ability to respond within a few days and complete repairs in a single visit makes us an effective partner for defects period management.

Volume and Scale

We work on developments ranging from individual new build plots to large multi-phase developments of hundreds of units. For larger projects, we can mobilise multiple technicians to work through a development systematically.

NHBC and Warranty Compliance

All our repair work is carried out using appropriate professional-grade materials that do not affect NHBC or structural warranty conditions.
