Why one business for every trade suits a rent roll

A rental job usually has three people in it: you, the owner and the tenant. The fewer trades you add, the simpler it stays. Because we cover plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying under certifying licences, a leaking cylinder, a gas hob swap and a blocked gully trap are all one call, one quote and one invoice.

We already look after rentals for a Hamilton property management company and work for several local builders, so we’re used to the paperwork: written quotes before the spend, photos for the owner, and gas certificates filed where they need to be.

Hot water for rentals, done sensibly

Hot water is the most common rental call-out and the most expensive to get wrong. Our rule is repair first: a valve, element or thermostat often sorts it for a fraction of a new cylinder. When a cylinder is genuinely done, we say so, and we’ll give you a like-for-like price alongside a mains-pressure or heat pump option so the owner can choose with the numbers in front of them.

How a rental job runs

Set up once, then it's the same every time.

  1. 1

    Send the job

    Email or the form, with the tenant's contact details, access notes and any photos. Tell us who pays and where the invoice goes.

  2. 2

    Written quote the same day

    For anything over your approval limit you get a written quote first. Small repairs we just get on with if you've said so.

  3. 3

    We deal with the tenant

    We arrange the time with the tenant directly and keep you in the loop. Non-urgent jobs are usually done within a week.

  4. 4

    Photos and paperwork

    Before and after photos with the invoice, plus gas certificates where they apply. Builders and agencies are on the 20th of the following month.

Questions from property managers

Can you deal with the tenant directly?

Yes. Send us the tenant's name and number with the job and we'll arrange access with them and keep you copied in. You hear from us when it's quoted and when it's done.

What about jobs under our approval limit?

Tell us your limit once. Anything under it we just get on with and invoice; anything over it gets a written quote first, usually the same day.

How do you invoice?

To the owner or the agency, whichever you tell us, with before and after photos attached. Agencies are on the 20th of the following month.

Do you do Healthy Homes or compliance work?

Our gas work is signed off by a certifying gasfitter, so gas appliances get their gas safety certificates, and we can pressure test and disconnect gas where a property needs it. For hot water, we'll tell you whether a cylinder is worth repairing or due for replacement so you can plan the spend.
