OUR SERVICES
Property maintenance in Oldham and Greater Manchester
The repairs and small jobs that stop a property turning into a big one.
WHAT IT INVOLVES
What property maintenance covers
The repairs and small jobs that stop a property turning into a big one.
Small bills become big ones
A slipped tile becomes a wet ceiling. Most large repair bills started as a small one somebody left.
Diagnosis is the value
Finding where water is getting in is usually harder than fixing it, and a repair on the wrong cause leaves the problem and the bill.
IN THE QUOTE
What is in the quote
- What the cause appears to be, not just the symptom that was reported
- The repair itself, and what it does and does not address
- Where something else is contributing, it is named rather than left for later
- Access, if the work is at height
- Making good and decoration where the repair has opened something up
- A straight answer where a specialist is genuinely the right call instead
Maintenance is where a builder is most useful and least visible. Finding the cause is usually harder than fixing it.
HOW WE DO IT
How a maintenance job actually goes
Four steps, start to finish, so you know what happens and when.
-
01
Tell us what needs doing
A list is fine, and photos are better. Several small jobs in one visit is usually cheaper than calling somebody out four times.
-
02
What is a repair and what is a symptom
A damp patch and a slipped tile are often the same job seen from two ends. We look for the cause rather than covering the mark.
-
03
A written quote for the lot
Each item priced so you can take any of them out, and the whole visit priced so you can see what doing them together saves.
-
04
Done in one visit where it can be
Materials brought for the whole list, the work done, and the place left clean.

USEFUL TO KNOW
Maintenance questions
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. Whether a small job is worth a separate visit depends on where it is and what else is running, so ring and ask rather than assuming it is too small. Several small things in one visit is usually the sensible way to do it.
Can you find out where a leak is coming from?
Usually. Water travels, so where it appears inside is often nowhere near where it is getting in, and that is why a repair on the obvious spot so often fails. Finding the actual route is the part worth paying for.
Do you do painting and decorating?
Yes, as part of maintenance and as making good after other work. It is priced as its own item rather than hidden inside a larger figure.
We have a landlord property that needs a list of jobs doing. Is that the same thing?
There is a separate page for landlord and void work, because a property between tenancies runs to a date and gets done in one visit, which is a different way of working from an occupied house.
