Snagging happens once the decorating is substantially complete, walking the job with the client or their representative to identify anything that falls short before it is signed off. It is a structured check, not a quick glance on the way out the door.
We walk each room or elevation with whoever is receiving the work, room by room, rather than presenting a finished job and asking for a general nod. Items are pointed out and discussed as they are found, so there is no ambiguity later about what was raised.
Every snag is written down with its location, a description and, where useful, a photograph, so the list can be checked off item by item rather than relying on memory.
Once corrections are made, we walk the same list again to confirm each item is genuinely resolved, not simply marked done. Only once every item is checked off is the job considered snagged clear.
Once decorating is substantially complete, before final sign-off, so any corrections can be made while the crew is still readily available.
Genuine defects found shortly afterwards are usually still addressed. The walkaround is the main check, not the only opportunity.
By walking the same list again after correction and checking each item off individually rather than assuming everything raised has been dealt with.
Book a joint snagging walkaround before final sign-off so nothing is left to chance.
A proper snagging walkaround is a recorded, item-by-item check, not a quick look round before leaving.
