Property maintenance visits in Broadstairs.

What a property-maintenance visit covers

The full seasonal walk-through of a Broadstairs holiday-let or second home. Exterior: gutter check and clear, roofline inspection, exterior paint condition, window and door seal check, fence and gate check, external tap and stopcock check. Interior: door and drawer alignment, silicone and grout condition around wet zones, tap and cistern check, smoke and carbon monoxide alarm test, extractor fan check, general damp check. Full punch list at the end, priced item-by-item so the owner can pick what to fix now and what to defer.

Twice-yearly is the working cadence

The right maintenance cadence for a busy Broadstairs holiday let is twice a year: October (post-summer season, pre-winter storms) and April (post-winter, pre-summer season). October catches everything that broke during summer guest use before the winter easterlies drive rain into any gap. April catches everything that froze or wind-damaged during winter before the summer season starts.

What the report looks like

After the visit you get a written report with photos: what we checked, what we found, what we did on the day (small items cleared in the visit hourly), what we recommend fixing now (with fixed prices), and what we recommend deferring to next visit. Owners with multiple Broadstairs properties get a summary sheet across the portfolio. Everything in the shared drive or emailed, whichever suits.

Pricing

Standard property-maintenance visit for a two- or three-bedroom Broadstairs holiday let: £280 to £680 including two to four hours on site, the walk-through, small items cleared during the visit (silicone touch-ups, hinge lubrication, gutter clear if accessible, small filler on nail holes), and the written report. Bigger properties, listed buildings, or portfolio bookings priced separately.

Building the fabric-log

For owners who want it, we build a running fabric log across visits: which windows have been sanded and repainted, when the gutters were last cleared, when the boiler was last serviced (not by us but noted from the certificate), when the EICR is due. Handy for property handovers, insurance claims, and for anyone who might want to sell the property in a few years and can hand over a proper maintenance history.
