Property maintenance in Canberra

For landlords, property managers, strata committees and businesses. The ongoing repair work that's too small to tender and too constant to keep chasing quotes for.

Who this is for

Property managers and agents

Tenant-reported repairs across a rent roll, condition-report items between tenancies, and the safety checks a landlord has to be able to evidence. Post one job per property and keep the reference number against the file.

Landlords managing their own

One or two places, no agent, and no list of tradies who'll pick up the phone. That's the gap this fills best.

Strata and unit-title committees

Common property work — stairwell and car park lighting, gutters, gate motors, a leak between units in a Belco block — where the committee needs comparable quotes to put in front of owners.

Small business and community sites

Offices, clubs, childcare centres, shopfronts. The unglamorous list that never quite makes it to the top of anyone's week.

Typical work

Small on their own. Together, they're the difference between a property holding up and one quietly falling apart.

Taps, toilets and leaks
Far and away the most common tenant report.

Door and window hardware
Locks, closers, handles, sticking doors, busted latches.

Light fittings and power
Dead fittings, sensors that gave up, circuits tripping.

Patching and painting
Between tenancies, and after the plumber's been through.

Gutters and downpipes
Before storm season, ideally. Not after it.

Safety checks and smoke alarms
With a written report the file can hold.

What to include when you send one through

The address and who to see about access. Tenant, agent or a key safe — say which, and give the hours someone can actually get in.
Photos from the tenant if you've got them. Forwarded phone shots are fine, and they save a wasted visit.
Whether it's urgent, and why. "Tenant has no hot water" and "the laundry door sticks" aren't the same priority, so flag it.
Your approval limit. If you can sign off up to a figure without going back to the owner, say so. It turns two visits into one.
Whether it's a repeat. Something that's been fixed twice already needs a different conversation to a first report.

Managing more than a handful of properties? Send us a message through the contact form instead of posting them one at a time. Regular volume is exactly the work we want routed properly, and it's worth setting up once rather than doing ad hoc forever.
