Always There, Property Care

Maintenance — the growth offer

The part most builders hand back to you.

Stay on our books and we look after the property — catching the small things before they become big ones. Maintenance is charged for time on site, the same way as the trades you already use.

Rates

No call-out fee. The first hour is an hour of work, not a charge for turning up, and after that we bill per half hour. Book a full day and you get a full day’s work, charged as five hours. Every figure below is plus VAT.

EPC compliance, handled

Rented homes are expected to need EPC C from October 2030 — and F and G ratings already can't be let. Our EPC service maps a portfolio's exposure for free, schedules the works to void periods, and delivers them with an independent post-works certificate. It runs under its own name, My EPC Partner — built for landlords and letting agents, delivered by the Always There team.

The EPC rating scale, A to G Bands A to G. C is the rating rented homes are expected to need from 2030. F and G cannot be let now. A B C D E F G Expected minimum, 2030 Cannot be let now
Bands F and G cannot be let today. Rented homes are expected to need band C from 2030.
