Tenants
Repairs done properly, reported clearly, so the work stands up at the end of the tenancy.
Renting puts you in an awkward position: you live with the fault, but somebody else decides when it gets fixed and who pays for it.
That is the problem we are actually solving on most tenant jobs. The plumbing is usually straightforward. Getting a clear enough description in front of whoever has to approve it is what takes the time.
What we do for tenants
Emergencies, where something is actively causing damage and waiting makes it worse.
Approved repairs, once your landlord or management company has signed the work off.
End-of-lease touch-ups, worked from your check-in report rather than from guesswork, so you are fixing what will actually be measured against you.
Between-tenancy work, where you are the outgoing tenant and want the place handed back in a state nobody can argue with.
Getting it approved
If your landlord or manager needs to authorize the work, say so when you ask for a quote. We will write it so it can be forwarded without being rewritten: the fault, the cause where we can determine it, what the repair involves, and the cost.
Most approvals stall on vagueness rather than money. “The bathroom is leaking” invites a question. “The flexible connector under the basin has failed at the crimp and is dripping onto the cabinet base, which has started to swell” does not — it tells an owner what has happened, why it is not going to fix itself, and what happens if it waits.
The end of a tenancy
Final inspections rarely turn on big things. They turn on a list of small ones, each individually trivial, which together read as a property that was not looked after.
The items that come up again and again: sealant around tubs and showers gone black or peeling, a running toilet, a dripping faucet, a slow drain, marks and small damage that were never made good, a shower screen that was never properly sealed.
Almost all of that is cheap and quick while you still have access, and expensive once it is being deducted from a deposit by somebody else’s contractor at somebody else’s rate.
Work from the check-in report if you have one. It is the document the final inspection will be compared against, and it is the only reliable guide to what was already like that when you moved in.
Emergencies
If water is coming in, close the main shut-off before you do anything else — before you call anyone, including us.
Knowing where that valve is, and that it actually turns, is the single most useful thing a tenant can learn about their own home. Find it now, while nothing is wrong, and try it. A seized valve that snaps off in your hand during an emergency turns a leak into a flood, and that is much better discovered on a quiet Sunday than at two in the morning.

Questions we get asked
My landlord has to approve this. Can you write it so I can send it straight on?
That is how we write every tenant quote. What is wrong, what it needs, what the work involves and what it costs, in plain language that does not need translating before it goes to an owner or a management company. Unclear paperwork is the single most common reason a repair sits unapproved for weeks.
Water is coming in right now. What do I do before anyone arrives?
Close the main shut-off valve. In a house it is usually at the meter near the street; in a condo it is normally inside the unit, often behind an access panel near the water heater or in a hallway closet. Then open the lowest faucet in the property to drain the pipes down. Stopping the water matters more than how fast anyone gets there.
Who pays — me or the landlord?
That is between you and your lease, and we are not the right people to rule on it. What we can do is describe the fault accurately, including whether it looks like wear, age, an installation problem or damage, so that whoever decides is deciding from facts. We do not write a report to suit whoever is paying us.
Can you help me get my deposit back?
We can fix the things that get flagged — sealant that has gone black, a running toilet, a dripping faucet, a slow drain, small damage that reads as neglect. Work from your check-in report rather than guessing, and do it before the final inspection rather than after it. We cannot promise an outcome, because the decision is not ours.
I do not want to annoy my landlord. Is it worth reporting a small leak?
Yes, in writing, straight away. A small leak that was reported and ignored is the landlord's problem. The same leak, unreported for six months, becomes an argument about the damage it caused. Reporting protects you more than staying quiet does.
