Property maintenance in Leeds

For landlords, letting agents, managing agents and small businesses with more than one building to look after. Instead of a list of contacts for every kind of job, there is one number to call for roofing, electrics, plumbing, joinery, plastering and decorating.

Jobs can be one-off repairs reported by a tenant, or planned work such as gutter clearing before winter and electrical inspections when they fall due.

Scope of work

  • Reactive repairs reported by tenants
  • Planned maintenance and seasonal checks
  • Void property turnarounds between tenancies
  • EICRs and remedial electrical work
  • Gutter clearing and roof checks before winter
  • Damp, mould and leak investigations
  • Small works for shops, offices and units

Who this suits

  • Landlords with one property or a portfolio
  • Letting and managing agents
  • Owners of shops, offices and small units
  • Freeholders responsible for communal areas

How the job is handled

Each job is logged with the property address, the access arrangements and who to contact on site. You get photographs of the problem and of the finished work, and anything beyond a straightforward repair is quoted in writing before it goes ahead.

With your permission, tenant access can be arranged directly so you are not stuck in the middle passing messages back and forth.

In Leeds

Leeds has one of the biggest private rented sectors in the north, from student houses in Hyde Park and Headingley to flats in the city centre and family lets on the outer estates. The jobs differ, but the need for one reliable contact does not.

FAQs

Property Maintenance questions

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. Agents and landlords can report jobs by phone or email, and the work is quoted and invoiced to whoever is responsible for the property.

Can you arrange access with tenants directly?

Yes, if you give permission. Otherwise access goes through you or your agent.

Do you cover commercial property?

Yes, smaller commercial property: shops, offices, units and the communal areas in blocks of flats.

What about damp and mould complaints?

The cause is investigated first, whether that is condensation, a leak, or rising or penetrating damp. You get a short written note of what was found and what will fix it, which helps if a tenant has raised a complaint.

Planning work that involves more than one trade?

One point of contact coordinates every trade, in the right order, from survey to sign-off.
