General Property Maintenance
Most properties don't need a big project. They need the small things dealt with before they become big ones: a gutter that overflows, a fence panel that has blown loose, a garden that has got away from you, a door that no longer shuts properly. General property maintenance is all of that, handled through one phone number.
We look after houses in Billericay and across the Brentwood side of the area, including Hutton, Shenfield and Ingatestone. If you're searching for property maintenance in Brentwood, it's the same number and the same service.
Jobs we're asked for
- Gutter clearing and small gutter repairs
- Repairs to slipped or broken roof tiles
- Fence panels repaired or replaced
- Garden tidy-ups, hedges and grass
- Jet washing paths and patios
- Odd jobs and repairs inside the house
Useful for
- Homeowners who'd rather make one call
- Landlords with a rented house to keep up
- Families looking after a relative's home
- Houses being got ready to sell or let
Handyman Services
Every house has a list: the shelf that needs putting up, the cupboard door hanging at an angle, the curtain pole waiting in the hallway. A handyman visit clears that list in one go instead of one trade at a time.
Write the jobs down before you call and we'll talk you through them on the phone. If something on the list needs a specialist instead, we'll say so rather than take it on.
Typical handyman jobs
- Shelves, brackets and curtain poles
- Flat-pack furniture put together
- Doors and cupboard doors adjusted
- Loose handles, hinges and fittings
- Gates that drop or won't latch
Before you call
- List every job, however small
- Note anything you've already bought
- Take a photo if it's hard to describe
Property Repairs
Property repairs are the jobs that can't wait for the to-do list: something is broken, letting the weather in, or no longer safe to use. Tell us what has happened and where, and we'll arrange to come and look.
Outside, that is usually roofs, gutters, fences and gates. Inside, it's doors, fittings and the small repairs left after a leak or a knock.
Outside repairs
- Slipped, cracked or missing roof tiles
- Leaking or sagging gutters and downpipes
- Fence panels, posts and gates
- Paths and patio edges
Inside repairs
- Doors that stick or won't close
- Loose handles, hinges and fittings
- Small repairs after a leak
Landlord Property Maintenance
If you let a house in or around Billericay, you need someone you can send to it. Landlord property maintenance covers the repairs tenants report, the garden that's been left between tenancies and the gutters nobody thinks about until there's damp on a bedroom wall.
Give us the address and what has been reported, and tell us whether to arrange access with you or with the tenant.
Between tenancies
- Gardens cut back and cleared
- Garden waste taken away
- Gutters cleared before the next let
- Small repairs ready for check-in
During a tenancy
- Repairs reported by tenants
- Fence and gate repairs
- Roof tiles and gutters after storms
Gutter Cleaning and Repairs
Gutters fill with leaves, moss and silt, and once they're blocked the rain goes down the wall instead of the downpipe. That is how a simple blockage turns into a damp patch inside.
We clear the gutters by hand, check the water runs to the downpipe, and fix the common faults we find: loose brackets, sagging runs and joints that drip. If a length is past repair, we'll tell you before replacing anything.
Gutter cleaning
- Leaves, moss and silt cleared by hand
- Downpipes checked for blockages
- Debris bagged and taken away
Gutter repairs
- Loose or broken brackets re-fixed
- Sagging runs re-aligned
- Leaking joints sealed or replaced
Garden Maintenance
Garden work is a big part of what we do, and the photos on this site are from our own garden jobs. We take on regular tidy-ups and one-off clearances, from a front garden that needs a trim to a back garden that has been left to grow over.
Garden waste is always removed, so the garden is left clear and tidy at the end of the job.
Garden work
- Grass cutting and weeding
- Hedges and shrubs cut, pruning
- Overgrown gardens cleared
- Ivy cleared and trees removed
- Turfing for a new lawn
Fences, paths and patios
- Fencing repaired and fitted
- Jet washing paths and patios
- Brick and shingle paths
- Railway-sleeper borders
- Space cleared for a new shed
Roof Repairs
One slipped tile is enough to let water into the roof space. Roof repairs are usually small jobs, and worth doing before the water reaches a ceiling.
Call when you spot a tile on the lawn, a gap in the roof line or a damp patch upstairs. If the roof needs more than a repair, we'll explain what we've seen rather than patch over it.
Roof repairs
- Slipped tiles refitted
- Cracked or missing tiles replaced
- Leaks found and repaired
- Checks after high winds
At the roof edge
- Gutters cleared and re-fixed
- Downpipes checked
- Moss and debris cleared
Through the year
Book a visit each season, or call when the next job comes round.
Home Maintenance Services
Home maintenance is the same work spread through the year, so nothing is left until it fails. Some people book a visit each season; others call when the next job comes round. Either way, it's one number for the house and the garden.
Spring and summer
- Garden tidy, hedges and grass
- Paths and patios jet washed
- Fences checked after winter
Autumn and winter
- Gutters cleared of leaves
- Roof tiles checked after storms
- Gates and fence panels secured
