Property Care & Maintenance Price Guide
Explore our starting prices for property maintenance, repairs, inspections, key holding, landlord support and property-care services.
Clear guide prices for individual properties, with tailored quotations available for landlords and owners of multiple properties.
Transparent Starting Prices. Tailored to Your Property.
Every property and job is different. Our published “From” prices provide a useful starting point, while the final quotation reflects the actual work, location and requirements.
Standard Service Area
Our main coverage is Manchester and Greater Manchester. Final attendance costs depend on the property location, travel and access arrangements.
Outside Greater Manchester
Work in locations further away, including York and other areas, is considered by quotation. Additional travel-related charges may apply.
Multiple Properties
We can discuss individually negotiated pricing for landlords, HMO owners and property investors with several properties.
How our starting prices work: “From £75” means a minimum advertised starting price for an eligible standard service, not a guaranteed fixed price for every property or location.
The final amount may depend on travelling distance, time on site, parking, materials, property condition, accessibility, urgency and the agreed scope of work.
Materials and third-party services are additional unless expressly included in a written quotation. We confirm applicable charges before agreed work begins.
