Loft conversion snagging log — what to record, room by room

The short answer: loft conversion defects cluster in predictable places — roof penetrations, fire safety, structure. Log each one the day you spot it: location, date, photos, and the builder's written response. The log becomes your schedule of loss backbone.

The log, adapted for loft conversion

Watch hardest for: roof penetrations, fire safety, structure. One row per defect; photograph before touching anything; keep phone originals; mark rows "remedied" rather than deleting. Full method: the snagging log.

The notification habit

Each new row gets a same-day written note to the builder ("Today I noticed [X] in [location], photographed as P12–14"). A dated notification converts a later "you never told us" into evidence. Project specifics: loft conversion.
