These schemes do not certify locksmithing. The company is Gas Safe registered (registration 587389) for gas work. - CHAS Elite - SafeContractor Approved - Gas Safe Registered (587389) Copies of all certificates are available on request before work begins. The service ## A property maintenance service - not a list of phone numbers. Most homeowners end up with a notes app full of half-remembered tradesmen, none of whom answer the phone. We're a single team that handles plumbing, joinery, plastering, painting, damp work, locks, ramps and roofing repairs - so one call sorts a list of jobs instead of one. - Bathroom and kitchen repairs, leaks, blocked drains - Door, lock, window and frame repair - Plaster patching, ceiling repair, damp investigation - Painting, decorating, wallpaper, end-of-tenancy refresh - Skirting, architrave, flooring, decking, fencing - Roof tile and slate repair, gutter clearance, lead flashing - Outside taps, garden walls, gate hardware What happens if you wait ## Small jobs ignored become big jobs paid for. The things people put off are nearly always the cheapest things to fix. The fix gets expensive the longer they wait. ### Gutter neglect Blocked or sagging gutters dump water down the wall instead of into a drain. Within a couple of winters the wall is damp, the plaster blooms inside, and the joist ends start to rot. ### Tiny roof slips A single slipped tile or cracked lead flashing lets water into the loft long before there's a stain on the ceiling. By the time you see the stain, the joist or the plaster is already rotten. ### Death by a thousand niggles A dripping tap, a sticking door, a cracked sealant, a loose handle - none of them urgent, all of them eroding the house. People stop noticing, then suddenly the house feels tired. Our process ## A clear path from your call to job done. - Step 1 ### One call, one list Send us your full list of jobs by phone, message or form. We don't make you book each one separately. - Step 2 ### Site visit & quote We come round, walk the list with you, and write a single fixed-price quote covering every item. - Step 3 ### Schedule properly Jobs grouped sensibly to minimise visits - plumbing and tiling on the same day, paint and joinery sequenced together. - Step 4 ### Tidy execution Sheets down, sockets covered, daily clean-up. The house stays usable while we work. - Step 5 ### Walk-round sign-off We walk the list with you, tick off every item, and demonstrate anything that needs explaining. One itemised invoice. Why homeowners choose us ## Real outcomes - not vague promises. ### One number, one family A real person picks up - no call centre, no chasing. ### Multi-trade, in-house Plumber, joiner, plasterer, decorator, locksmith, damp specialist - under one company. ### Honest, fixed pricing Whole list quoted up front in writing. No 'while I'm here' add-ons. ### Tidy & respectful Your home is treated like ours. Shoe covers in, sheets down, dust controlled. ### Faster than three separate trades One visit, one schedule, one invoice. Jobs done in days, not months. ### Built for the long haul We work with the same families for years. The relationship matters more than the single job. Deep detail ## The maintenance work we do most weeks. Property maintenance is breadth, not depth - but every individual job still has to be done to a proper standard. Here's what we deliver most weeks. Fully insured · £5m public liability Registered in England & Wales — Company No. 16298499. Registered office: Exchange Building, 66 Church Street, Hartlepool TS24 7DN. £5 million public liability cover on every job, plus a 12-month workmanship guarantee across every trade. Talk to Gary ### Roofs, gutters and outside the building Slipped or cracked tiles and slates replaced, dry verge and ridge re-bedded, lead flashings repaired or replaced around chimneys and parapet walls, valley clearance, and gutter clearance and realignment. Gutter and downpipe replacement in PVCu or seamless aluminium. Most outside work is the cheapest preventative maintenance you can do - every blocked gutter we clear saves a damp wall a year later. ### Inside fabric - plaster, paint, joinery Cracked plaster patched and skimmed, ceilings overboarded or re-skimmed, walls repainted, woodwork re-sanded and re-painted, skirting and architrave replaced, doors re-hung, locks repaired, sticky windows freed. We bring damp work, locksmith work and plumbing in to the same team where the job overlaps so you don't have to coordinate three contractors. ### Plumbing, drainage and wet rooms Tap and mixer replacements, toilet repairs, leaking traps, blocked sinks and showers, isolation valve fitting, outside taps to WRAS standards, washing machine and dishwasher plumbing. For larger problems (bathroom refits, hidden leaks, wet rooms) we handle the full project in-house. We are also Gas Safe registered (registration 587389), so gas appliance work is covered by our own registration. ### Doors, windows, locks and security Sticking or dropped doors adjusted or re-hung, broken handles and hinges replaced, multi-point lock mechanisms repaired, euro-cylinders upgraded to anti-snap, window restrictors and child safety fittings. Where security is a concern after a break-in or change of tenancy, our locksmith service handles the whole repair end-to-end. ### Outside, garden and access Decking and fencing repair or replacement, garden walls and pointing, paving made good, gate hardware, outdoor lighting fixings, ramps and handrails for access. We don't garden - but the built environment around the garden is fair game. FAQ ## Property Maintenance questions, answered straight. Still unsure? Send us a message or call 07966 442128. How quickly can you come out for a non-emergency repair?+We aim to get most non-urgent property maintenance jobs booked within the same week, often the next working day. Emergencies (leaks, lockouts, security) take priority and we'll respond same-day. How much does a handyman or property maintenance visit cost in Middlesbrough?+We don't charge per visit - we quote per job (or per list of jobs) in writing after a free walk-round. That means you pay for the work, not the time we spend chatting. Can you do multiple jobs in one visit?+Yes - that's the point. Send us your full list and we'll quote the lot together. Grouping jobs cuts the cost and gets your house sorted faster. Do you do roof and gutter work?+Yes - slipped tiles, ridge and verge repair, lead flashing, gutter clearance and replacement, valley repair. Roof work we won't safely do (e.g. major flat-roof replacement) we'll tell you straight and refer you to a roofer we'd use ourselves. Do you do gas, boiler or full electrical rewires?+We are Gas Safe registered (registration 587389) for gas appliance work. Full electrical rewires require a registered electrician, so we partner with trusted local electricians for those and coordinate the project for you. Do you work for landlords?+Yes - extensively. We have a dedicated landlord maintenance service for portfolio properties. Itemised invoices and direct contact with letting agents available. Can I have a regular maintenance arrangement?+Yes. For larger homes, listed properties or rental portfolios we can set up an annual check schedule covering roof, gutters, externals and high-wear interior items. This is the cheapest way to keep a property in shape. Is everything done by your own team or do you sub-contract?+Everything plumbing, joinery, plaster, paint, damp, locks and basic roofing is done by our own family team. For specialist work (gas, full rewires, scaffold) we use trusted local trades - we'll always tell you who's doing what. Are you insured?+Yes. A Slater & Son Property Services Ltd carries £5 million public liability insurance. We also back every trade with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Company No. 16298499.
