Landlord maintenance — questions
- Can you work around my tenants?
- Yes. Access is arranged with the tenant directly once you approve the visit, and you receive photographs of the finished work so you have a record for your file.
- What about the Repairing Standard?
- Jobs are scoped with the Scottish Repairing Standard in mind — smoke and heat alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical and gas safety. We flag anything we see that looks like a compliance gap.
- What does it cost me?
- The introduction costs nothing. You approve a written quote from the business doing the work before anything is booked.
