What property maintenance covers
Property maintenance spans every trade a building needs: plumbing (leaks, taps, toilets, radiators), electrical (sockets, lighting, fuse boards, EICRs), gas (boilers, safety certificates), decorating (interior and exterior painting), handyman (doors, shelves, fittings), locks, clearances, and emergency repairs. For landlords it also includes the compliance calendar — gas, EICR, alarms — that keeps a property legally lettable.
Why one company beats separate trades
Every separate tradesperson you call brings their own call-out charge, their own scheduling, and their own return visits. A multi-trade company turns up once, diagnoses every issue, and fixes what it can in a single visit — then schedules any specialist follow-up itself. The result is fewer visits, less downtime, and a lower total bill. See our guide to what a maintenance company does.
For homeowners, landlords and businesses
Homeowners use us for the jobs that pile up — a stiff door, a dripping tap, a room that needs repainting. Landlords use us for compliance plus repairs across a portfolio. Businesses use us to keep premises safe and presentable. Whatever the property type, one number covers it. See our cost guide for typical prices.
See a real example: our Fengate pharmacy refurbishment case study (PE1 5TX) documents a commercial kitchenette, plumbing, floor preparation and wider improvement works.
We also respond to commercial roof leaks. See our Waitrose Oundle roof leak and flat-roof repair project for evidence of a real retail maintenance callout near Peterborough.
