How repairs flow

We triage new maintenance reports the same working day

Speed that matters

We triage new maintenance reports the same working day. Tenants get an acknowledgement, a simple timeline, and any prep steps (photos, access notes). Urgent issues are prioritised immediately so you’re not dealing with late-night panic calls.

Vetted local contractors

We only use trusted, insured trades who’ve proven their workmanship and reliability. Rates are agreed upfront, call-outs are sensible, and we don’t send three different people to do one job. If a repair needs a specialist, we line them up quickly.

Cost control in maiantenance

Cost control

You set a clear emergency limit so we can act fast when it’s critical. Everything else is quoted for your approval—no surprises. We’ll suggest the most cost-effective fix (repair vs replace) and batch small, non-urgent items to save on multiple call-outs.

Evidence-ready records maintenance

Evidence-ready records

Every job is documented: before/after photos where relevant, quotes, invoices, and notes. These are attached to your monthly statements, so you’ve got clean records for accounts, insurance, and any deposit disputes.

Happier tenants with proper maintenance system

Happier tenants

Clear updates and quick, professional fixes reduce frustration and repeat chasing. That means fewer escalations, better reviews, and longer tenancies—saving you re-let costs and voids.

Local Coverage for maintenance

Local coverage

We manage repairs across Romford, Ilford, Barking, Basildon, and all of Essex. Local teams mean faster attendance, realistic ETAs, and contractors who know the buildings and council requirements.

FAQs

We triage the same working day (Mon–Fri). Tenants get an acknowledgement, a simple ETA, and any prep steps (photos, access notes, isolation switches). Emergencies are prioritised immediately and sent straight to an available contractor. For out-of-hours issues, we operate an emergency protocol with on-call trades where appropriate.

 

Yes. You set a pre-agreed emergency limit so we can act fast on critical issues (e.g., leaks, no heating in winter, security risks). All non-urgent work requires your approval unless you give standing permission (e.g., “approve anything under £X without calling me”). We’ll always try to repair before replace and batch minor works to cut call-outs.

 

Yes. Gas work = Gas Safe registered engineers. Electrical work = qualified electricians who can certify where needed. All contractors are vetted, insured, and monitored for quality and punctuality. For specialist jobs (roofing, damp, appliances), we use appropriate specialists and document their reports.

 

Yes. We coordinate directly with tenants and contractors to minimise disruption, offer time windows, and include any house rules or HMO schedules. If keys are held, we can attend with contractors. We record access attempts and keep you informed if we hit delays (no-shows, tenant unavailability).

 

Where possible, yes. We’ll check whether the issue is under manufacturer or installer warranty, gather evidence (photos, serial numbers), and raise the claim to save you costs. We’ll ask for proof of purchase/installation and any service history—if you don’t have it, we’ll advise next best steps.

 

Yes—optional seasonal and preventative plans (boiler servicing, gutter clears, smoke/CO tests, sealant refresh, minor safety checks). The goal is to reduce emergencies, extend asset life, and keep compliance clean. We can schedule these around tenancy cycles to avoid inconvenience.

 

Emergencies typically include uncontrolled leaks, total power loss, no heating/hot water in winter, gas smell/CO alarm, unsafe electrics, or broken external doors/windows. Non-urgents are issues like dripping taps, single-room radiator faults, or cosmetic repairs—we’ll schedule these for your approval.

 

You’ll receive time-stamped updates at key points: logged → triaged → quoted → approved → booked → completed. We attach photos, quotes, invoices and job notes to your file and itemise them on monthly statements.

 

Online via our maintenance portal (24/7). They can add photos, describe urgency, and give access times. This helps us diagnose faster and avoid unnecessary call-outs.
