Maintenance & repairs

Property maintenance

From a single reactive repair to a planned programme across a portfolio — commercial or domestic, one contractor for the lot.

Screwdriver, tape measure, screws, and planks of wood on a table

This is the bulk of what we do: the ordinary, constant work of keeping buildings in the condition they are supposed to be in. It covers everything from a tenant reporting a leak on a Monday morning to a planned programme of external redecoration across a portfolio.

Commercial and domestic

We work on both, and the difference is mostly in the constraints rather than the work. Commercial premises need work fitted around trading hours and staff; tenanted homes need work fitted around access and people’s lives. Either way it is our job to plan around it rather than expect the building to plan around us.

Void turnarounds

Empty weeks between tenancies cost more than most repairs do. The usual cause of a long void is sequencing — booking the clean, then the repairs, then the decorator, one after another. We schedule them into a single window so the property is back on the market in days rather than weeks.

Typical work

  • Roofing repairs, guttering, downpipes and drainage
  • Brickwork, pointing, render and external decoration
  • Carpentry, joinery, doors, windows and locks
  • Plastering, patching and internal redecoration
  • Flooring, kitchens, bathrooms and general fitting out
  • Clearance, making good and end-of-tenancy works

How it works

  1. Tell us what needs doing

    Call or send an enquiry with the property and the problem. For anything substantial we will arrange a visit.

  2. Your written quote

    A written quote with the scope set out, free and with no obligation, so it can be approved or passed to a landlord.

  3. Booked in and completed

    We schedule around access and occupiers, keep you updated while we are on site, and clear up after ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum job size?

No. We would rather do the small jobs for clients we look after than turn them away — that is usually how a longer arrangement starts.

Do you charge for quotes or site visits?

No. Quotes and site visits are free and come with no obligation.

Can you deal directly with my tenants?

Yes, if you would prefer. We can arrange access directly with tenants and keep you copied in, which saves you being the go-between.
