We moved into a new build last week and had a snagger round at the weekend. He noted various relatively minor things including a large number of screw pops - every wall/ceiling has numerous. Not super visible unless looking for them, we'd only noticed a couple ourselves. We've talked to the builder about the snagging list and they're mostly fine to fix stuff, but they're saying the screw pops will only be fixed if they are very visible (from 2m) and there's an excessive number in one area. Our house had sat for a few months after being built and the builder is saying this is why there are screw pops - due to normal settling. The snagger has said that is unacceptable and that moving into a new build the house should be made perfect, the fact that it sat for a while is the builder's problem not ours. Is the snagger right? We can see the builder's point of view that they only fix screw pops if they are very visible so why would the they have fixed ones that are not obvious during their snagging prior to us moving in, if they would not be fixed under normal snagging after we've lived there a while. We just want to make sure we're not being fobbed off so want to know if we can/should argue for them to fix all screw pops regardless of how obvious they are. Note we don't want/expect them to fix for another year or so just want them to confirm they'll fix them all, regardless of how obvious/how many there are.
