     Let the electrician know at the outset that you are keeping a snagging list. Then, if you spot, for example, a number of crooked sockets, some badly fitted covers, fittings that should really have been better placed, pendant lights that are& obviously too low, a chipped switch or a light that doesn't always work you switch it on, you have a couple of choices.

     By this I mean, for example, that if the onus for preparing a snagging list lies with the contractor, he may only have to produce the list and demonstrate that he has cleared it, to demand the completion certificate.

     The clerk of works seldom intends that to be the case and, even if that was the case, those intentions would be irrelevant. Merely complying with a clerk of work's snagging list can never take the place of compliance with the contract.
