A checklist is agreed for each address, setting what is looked at and how often. An older terrace can be checked more often than a newer flat in the same portfolio.
Seasonal jobs are timed to the year. Small faults reported between visits, such as a dripping tap or a loose gutter bracket, are repaired as separate jobs.
What the work covers
Checked for blockages, leaks and loose brackets, and cleared after leaf fall.
Slipped slates, cracked flashings and leaning chimney pots noted after winter storms.
External doors and windows checked for draughts and failing locks, and kitchen and bathroom sealant renewed when it lifts.
Walls and ceilings checked for mould, with ventilation problems noted for the owner.
Loose panels, posts and wall copings repaired before they come down.
Stairs, landings and bin stores in shared buildings checked on each visit.
Questions people ask
What does planned maintenance cost?
It depends on how many properties and units are covered, how often each is visited, the age and size of the buildings and the distance between them. Repairs between visits are priced separately.
Can the schedule differ between properties in one portfolio?
Yes. Each address has its own checklist and frequency, so older houses can be visited more often than newer flats.
Can holiday lets be included?
Yes. Send the changeover days with your enquiry, so visits can be planned for days when no guests are staying.
Do the visits include the annual gas safety check?
No. The gas safety check must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
