Real pressures we hear every week

- tenants who report damp expect action within days, not weeks
- portfolio landlords compare invoice trails across their agents to decide who to consolidate to
- ARLA compliance requires documented condition evidence at inspection points

Fair objections, straight answers
Will you deal with the tenant directly?
Only to arrange access — everything about the work, the pricing and the report goes through you as the agent, not the tenant.
Can we agree a portfolio rate?
Yes — for agents with 15+ managed properties in our patch we agree a per-property ceiling that removes the need to re-quote for standard gutter and moss work.
How fast can you get to an escalation?
For active damp reports we prioritise a same-week external survey; the follow-up work is scheduled based on what the survey actually finds.
Paperwork you'll get back
Invoice to the agent for onward billing, a landlord-facing photo report, and a tenant-facing summary that explains what was done and why.
What usually prompts the call
- a periodic inspection that flags external moss or gutter overflow
- a mid-tenancy damp report that needs external investigation
- a new instruction where the property is being on-boarded from another agent
- an insurance-related survey coming up
