Property repairs
Repairs done once, properly
Most repair costs are not the repair. They are the second visit, the wrong part, and the afternoon you spent trying to get hold of somebody.
Overview
Reactive and planned, run the same way.
Repairs split into two kinds. Reactive work is what breaks — a leak, a failed boiler, a broken lock. Planned work is what you know is coming: a roof that needs attention before winter, guttering that needs clearing, a fence that will not survive another year.
Landlords who only ever do reactive work spend more. We handle both, batch planned work into sensible visits, and check the job is actually finished before an invoice reaches you.

Planned beats reactive
Where the money actually goes.
The same work costs less when it is scheduled. These are the items worth planning rather than waiting for.
Gutters and drainage
Cleared annually. Ignored, they become a damp problem.
Roof coverings
A slipped tile fixed early is not a ceiling replacement.
Boiler servicing
Annual service costs less than one winter breakdown call-out.
External decoration
Protects timber. Skipping it turns painting into joinery.
Sealant and grout
Renewed cheaply, or replaced expensively once water gets in.
Fencing and gates
Predictable failures. Better replaced than emergency-repaired.

Questions
Common questions
Emergencies are attended as quickly as we can get a competent trade there, and made safe first. Urgent items such as loss of heating are attended within agreed hours. Routine repairs are scheduled around tenant access. The categories are agreed with you at the outset.
Yes. If you have a plumber or electrician you have used for years, we will instruct them and coordinate access. We do ask that they carry current insurance and the relevant qualifications for the work.
Where the property is under full management, coordination is part of the service. For properties we do not manage, we quote on the work itself. What we do not do is add a hidden margin to a contractor's invoice without telling you.
