A practical approach to repairs and maintenance
The scope is based on what is visible at inspection, the condition of the surrounding materials and the outcome the owner or manager needs. Where opening up an area reveals additional damage, that should be discussed before finishes are reinstated. This is especially important with water damage, bathrooms, balconies and external timber, where the visible defect may only be part of the problem.
Ask The Man’s existing project portfolio is used throughout this website to show actual work rather than generic stock examples. The individual project pages include before, progress and after information so prospective clients can see the type of maintenance and renovation work that has been undertaken.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work from an agent repair list?
Yes. A written list with photos is a useful starting point. Site inspection can then confirm priorities, access and any hidden issues.
Can you combine pre-sale jobs into one scope?
Yes. Painting, plaster repairs, timber work, small rectification items and presentation work can be grouped so the property is not being booked with separate contractors unnecessarily.
Do you work on occupied or tenanted properties?
Access and sequencing need to be agreed for each property. Where a property is occupied, the scope can be staged to reduce disruption.
Can urgent repair items be prioritised?
Yes. Safety, active leaks and items that can cause further damage should be identified before cosmetic work.
