Why do we test every socket during a new build snag inspection when the property has already been certified?🔌

Because this is exactly why.

A new build handover will typically come with electrical certification, BCAR documentation, commissioning certificates and other compliance paperwork. However, our role during a snag inspection is to act as an extra layer of protection for the buyer before they take the keys.

In this video, the first socket shows the correct result with two green lights.

The second socket shows a live/neutral reverse fault, meaning the polarity at the socket may be incorrect and requires review by a registered electrician.
This is why we don’t just visually inspect sockets — we physically test them.

These issues can happen, even in certified new builds, and they are exactly the type of defect a thorough snag inspection is designed to pick up before completion.

Quick video from Newbridge today showing one part of my inspection process.🔥

Before carrying out thermal imaging checks on the heating system, I first verify the room temperature against the wall stat using calibrated equipment. This helps confirm that the thermostat is reading accurately and that the room temperature being displayed is reliable.

From there, I use thermal imaging to assess the radiators and heat distribution throughout the property, checking for obvious cold spots, uneven heating, trapped air, or areas that may need further attention.

It’s a small part of the overall inspection, but these checks help give clients a clearer understanding of how the heating system is performing on the day.

Recent inspection at Phoenix Park Avenue, Castleknock.

As part of the overall inspection, we carried out a series of bathroom plumbing checks, including careful testing of the bath setup shown in this video 🛁. These checks are important to help identify leaks, poor drainage, sealing issues, and defects that may not be obvious at first glance.

It’s the small details like these that can make a big difference later.

Are you thinking of doing work around your house?🏡

This is a very useful guide for homeowners in Ireland and one that many people have never seen before.
It gives a helpful overview of common works such as extensions, porches, sheds, garages, and other changes around the home, and outlines where exempted development may apply, subject to conditions.

Well worth reading and saving before starting any work.

Important: This is general guidance only. Every property is case-specific, so if there is any doubt, always check with your local planning authority or seek professional advice.

Full Underfloor Heating System Check – Step by Step 🔍🔥
Today we carried out a full performance check on an underfloor heating system using thermal imaging equipment.
This allows us to: • Confirm the system is fully operational
• Identify any cold spots or uneven heat distribution
• Verify consistent heat output across the floor
• Highlight any potential installation or insulation issues
In this case, the system is performing exactly as it should — with even heat distribution throughout ✅
This is something a visual check alone simply can’t confirm.
Using thermal imaging gives a clear, data-backed insight into how your home is actually performing.
At Property Inspections Kildare, this level of detail comes as standard on every inspection.

What the eye can’t see, thermal imaging can🔍.

During a recent inspection of a bungalow with a cold attic space, this thermal scan identified a clear cold bridge in the ceiling. The deep blue area indicates missing insulation beneath the cold water storage tank.

Even though the attic had approximately 300mm of mineral wool insulation installed, the insulation had been displaced under the tank platform allowing heat to escape through the ceiling below.

Issues like this can lead to:

• Heat loss
• Cold spots on ceilings
• Increased condensation risk
• Higher heating costs

A visual inspection can only reveal so much. Using specialist surveying equipment allows defects in the building fabric to be identified much more accurately.

Thermal imaging is included as standard in every inspection carried out by Property Inspections Kildare.

I’m proud to share that Property Inspections Kildare has been featured in a 3-page spread in @greenzineireland magazine, reaching over 22,000 subscribers nationwide.

In a property market where details make all the difference, professional inspections aren’t a luxury — they’re protection.

🏡 New Build Snagging Inspection – Calverstown, Co. Kildare

This home was finished to a very high designer standard, but as is often the case, appearances can be deceiving.

Even in properties that look perfect on handover, we still identified several issues — the most significant being settlement cracking, which should be addressed early to prevent further deterioration over time.

✅ Full fabric inspection
✅ Detailed snag report
✅ Thermal imaging & floor level checks
✅ Fully insured & registered

A thorough snag now ensures your new home is handed over exactly as it should be.

✅ Proud to be working alongside
@5thaveunefloorstore

I’m delighted to share that Sean and the team at 5th Avenue Floor Store have recommended Property Inspections Kildare as their trusted snagging and inspection partner across Leinster.

From the quality of the products they supply to the standard of installation on every job, 5th Avenue consistently deliver the level of workmanship that gives me full confidence to refer them on to my own clients.

At Property Inspections Kildare, our inspections go beyond the surface — including detailed finished floor level checks to ensure floors are within tolerance and compliant with Irish Building Standards (IS EN 13813 / SR 21 guidelines) before final finishes are laid.
Using sophisticated measuring technology such as @moasure and 6ft box beam levels , we can provide real-time, millimetre-accurate data, clearly highlighting any discrepancies or out-of-tolerance areas before flooring is installed.

This means fewer disputes, fewer callbacks, and a smoother handover for homeowners.

A big thank you again to Sean for the support — looking forward to working together on many projects ahead.

🔌 Socket & RCD Testing During Property Inspections

As part of every inspection, all accessible electrical sockets are tested using a Fluke socket tester.

👉 What do the lights mean?
The indicator lights confirm:

Correct wiring (live, neutral & earth present)

No reversed polarity

No missing earth — a critical safety issue

Once the socket wiring is verified, we then carry out an RCD test.

⚡ Why RCD testing matters
The RCD (Residual Current Device) is a life-saving safety feature designed to:

Cut power instantly if a fault is detected

Protect against electric shock and fire risk

During testing we check:

That the RCD trips correctly

That it disconnects within the required time

This goes beyond a visual inspection — it’s about confirming the system is safe, functional, and compliant at the time of inspection.

🔍Is this just a crack… or something more?

Cracking to external render can look minor at first glance, but the pattern, location and behaviour of a crack tell a much bigger story.

In this case, the cracking is stepped and vertical, following the line of the underlying blockwork and passing through service penetrations. This type of formation can indicate movement within the structure, rather than simple surface shrinkage or cosmetic failure.

While there is no immediate evidence of structural
decisions based on evidence — not guesswork.
This level of analysis ensures that:

• Minor issues aren’t overlooked
• Serious issues aren’t dismissed
• Unnecessary repairs are avoided
• Clients receive clear, honest guidance

This is the level of detail we go into on all of our pre-purchase inspections. It’s not just about identifying defects — it’s about understanding why they’re there and what they mean for the future of the property.

If you’re buying a home and want clarity, not assumptions, this is the difference a professional inspection makes.
