For rental and letting agents in the Southern Suburbs

Maintenance you never
have to chase.

Log a job with one call. We attend, record the cause with photos and quote you before any work starts, so you're never chasing a contractor.

Response times

How quickly we're there

Same response, same rates, in every suburb we cover.

3hours

Emergencies

Water damage you can't stop, or no power to the property. We're on site to stop the damage, and the full repair follows as a scheduled job.

24hours

Everything else

A dripping tap, a slow drain or a faulty plug point is seen within a day, at a time that suits the tenant.

R1,000

Late? R1,000 off. If we miss the 3-hour or 24-hour window, R1,000 comes off that job's invoice automatically. No claim, no questions.

Times start once the tenant has confirmed a time we offered. Over the December–January and Easter school holidays, emergency attendance is within 4 hours. Emergencies carry no after-hours surcharge, any day or time. The guarantee applies to agencies on our rental agreement.

How a maintenance job runs

From your call to the signed-off job, in the order it happens

Built around what rental agents told us eats their day.

  1. You log the job

    One call or WhatsApp logs it. We act only on your instruction, as the landlord's agent.

  2. We arrange access

    We can arrange a time with the tenant directly, or through you, whichever you prefer. Saturdays are at normal rates.

  3. We report the cause

    A photo report with the cause of the fault and an itemised quote are sent from the property, to you, never to the tenant.

  4. The work is done

    Approve it on the spot and we do it in the same visit. If we need to come back, there's no second call-out.

  5. The tenant signs it off

    The tenant signs off the finished job in our own app, and you get the post-work report and an itemised invoice that matches the quote.

The report

The cause, in writing, every time

When a drain blocks or a geyser fails, the first question is who pays. Our report gives you the answer.

  • The cause of every fault is recorded on site in our own app, in a field our technicians can't skip.
  • Date- and time-stamped photos show what we found and what we fixed.
  • The tenant signs off the finished job in our own app, so you know it's done without going out to check.

Excellent service from start to finish. The whole COC process was handled incredibly quickly, professionally and efficiently. Communication was clear, everything was thorough, and the turnaround time was lightning fast. Reliable, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend their services.

Etienne and his team were quick and provided detailed reports. Hoping to make use of his services for many years to come as both of our businesses grow. He helped with a geyser / insurance replacement and CoCs for the sale of a house.
