aintaining a property requires a wide range of services to ensure that the establishment needs are met. Property maintenance services are equally required by domestic, commercial establishments, hotels, educational establishments and industrial units.Our solution - simple and effective
On short
All you have to do is to evaluate how much an employee, able to carry out a wide range of tasks, will cost you.
Then, just tell us this figure, and with this budget you can have one of our tradesman to take care of your property on full time/part time basis, exactly like your own employee will do.
The advantages are obvious:
- you will not have to bother yourself with one or more emploees
- you will eliminate the overheads generated by an such employee - car, fuel, tools, replacement for holydays, etc.
- for certain tasks we will send a specialist - electrician, plumber, tiler and so on
In our case, all you have to do is to pay to us the amount, as we agreed and you'll be informed with a weekly report about how the works are done.
How it works?
We Come and Visit You:
Once you have contacted us we come and visit you since it is easier to explain our services face to face. During this visit we will ask you about your current maintenance services and any problems you are encountering, and ask you to show us around the property. We will also ask you for a floor plan if you have one.
A Written Proposal:
Once we have met with you, we will produce a fully costed written proposal. If you agree with this, we will provide you a comprehensive Property Maintenance Report, which will include a maintenance schedule, containing detailed information on how we'll do the job. We can tailor make your report to cover your specific requirements. As an example, for a domestic property, the following could be included:
- EXTERNAL AREA: the condition of the driveway, porch/patio, decking, stairs and entryway will be checked along with any fences/gates and any external lighting.
- EXTERNAL AREA - THE HOUSE: here we will take a look at any blocked gutters and the state of the eaves/fascias.Your windows, frames & sills and double glazing will be checked and we will discuss the condition of any external paint.
- THE GARDEN: this area covers the checking of the garage and any outside structures (this inlcudes any electrical eppliances i.e lawnmower). The condition of the garden foliage and maintenance required will be discussed here and external sockets & taps will be checked.
- INTERNAL FLOORING: we will check that you have no sagging or damaged floors. This will include the skirting boards and door strips.
- INTERNAL WALLS: it is important to check the condition of the walls, especially looking at cracks, water staining, mould etc as these signs often indicate a more serious problem. We will also check all curtains & blinds, electrical sockets and any shelves, mirrors etc attached to the walls.

- INTERNAL CEILINGS: as with your walls, we will be looking at any cracks/water damage on yor ceilings as these could indicate a more serious problem which could be costly for you. Here we will cover the general ceiling condition and check that all light fictures are in working order.
- KITCHEN: here we will cover a full test on all kitchen appliances to ensure that they are in working order. We will inspect your cabinets & drawers to ensure they open & close correctly and we will be looking at your plumbing to see if there are any leaks or blockages.
