Maintenance for Managed Properties

Landlords using our property management service can benefit from having maintenance coordinated as part of the management of their property.

When a tenant reports a problem, we can:

Identify the issue – obtain information from the tenant and establish what appears to be wrong.
Assess the urgency – determine whether the issue requires immediate attention or a routine appointment.
Arrange the appropriate contractor – send the job to a suitable tradesperson.
Coordinate access – arrange access with the tenant where required.
Keep the landlord informed – provide information about the issue and proposed work.
Complete the repair – arrange for the agreed work to be carried out.
Keep records – maintain information about repairs carried out at the property.

This gives landlords a convenient single point of contact for property management and maintenance.

Emergency Property Repairs

Some maintenance problems can’t wait.

Urgent issues may include:

Major water leaks
Loss of heating
Serious electrical faults
Dangerous electrical issues
Security problems
Broken external doors or locks

Where possible, we’ll help arrange an appropriate contractor to investigate urgent maintenance problems.

If there is an immediate danger to life or a serious emergency, the appropriate emergency service or utility provider should always be contacted first.

We can help arrange repairs for:

Leaking taps
Leaking pipes
Toilets
Sinks
Baths
Showers
Radiators

Small leaks can quickly become larger problems, so it’s usually best to deal with them early.

Walls and ceilings
Woodwork
Doors
Skirting boards
Exterior painting
Wallpaper removal
Preparation and repairs

This can be particularly useful when preparing a property for sale or a new tenancy.

We can help coordinate:

Property cleaning
Decorating
Carpet cleaning
Flooring replacement
Minor repairs
Plumbing repairs
Electrical repairs
Garden tidy-ups
Waste removal

Presentation can make a significant difference when selling a property.

Before putting your property on the market, we can help identify relatively simple improvements that could make it more attractive to buyers.

This might include:

Fresh decoration
Minor repairs
Garden maintenance
Replacing damaged flooring
Repairing doors
Improving lighting
Fixing visible defects
Deep cleaning
Clearing unwanted items

Not every property needs expensive renovation before being sold.

We’ll help you concentrate on the work that is likely to make the most practical difference.

Need more than a few repairs?

We can also help coordinate larger refurbishment projects.

These can include:

Full property decoration
New kitchens
New bathrooms
Flooring throughout
Plastering
Joinery
Electrical improvements
Plumbing improvements
Heating upgrades
Property clearance
Garden improvements
General renovation

This can be particularly useful for landlords and investors who have purchased a property requiring work before it can be sold or rented.

Maintenance for Property Investors

If you’ve bought an investment property that requires work, we can help you move from purchase to refurbishment to letting or resale.

For example:

Buy → Refurbish → Let

Buy → Renovate → Sell

Our wider property services mean we can consider the work required alongside the property’s potential rental or resale market.

This can be particularly useful for:

Auction purchases
Buy-to-let properties
Renovation projects
Repossessions
Probate properties
HMOs
Properties requiring modernisation
Investment portfolios

Our maintenance service can help portfolio landlords coordinate work across multiple properties through one point of contact.

We can assist with:

Routine repairs
Emergency maintenance
Contractor appointments
Property inspections
End-of-tenancy works
Decorating
Refurbishments
Compliance-related works
Preparing properties for new tenants

This allows landlords to spend less time finding tradespeople every time a maintenance problem occurs.

Whether it’s a small repair or a larger project, tell us what you need and we’ll see how our maintenance team can help.
