Maintenance Service
Your trusted contractor, whenever you need us.
Owning or managing a property often means dealing with unexpected repairs, ongoing maintenance and finding reliable trades at short notice.
Rather than paying expensive monthly maintenance contracts that often provide limited value, South Devon Construction and Quoin & Oak (our sister company) offer an alternative – we become your trusted building partner.
After an initial free property visit, we get to know the building, understand any current or future maintenance requirements and discuss how we can best support you.
From then on, we are just a phone call away whenever you need us.
Whether it is a minor repair, a larger building project or work requiring several specialist trades, we will organise and manage the process from start to finish.
How it works
- Free Property Visit
We will visit your property, get to know the building and discuss any current concerns, planned work or future potential maintenance requirements.
This allows us to understand the property before an urgent issue arises and gives you a reliable point of contact from the outset.
- On-Call Maintenance Service
Once you’re registered with us, we’re available whenever your property needs attention.
No subscriptions.
No retainers.
No unnecessary monthly fees.
Simply contact us when you need support.
- We Get It Sorted
As principal contractors, we take responsibility for arranging and managing everything the job requires.
Depending on the work, we will:
- Carry out the work using our own experienced teams
- Arrange trusted specialist trades where required
- Coordinate labour, materials and access
- Manage the work from start to finish
- Oversee quality and progress
- Keep you informed throughout
You will not need to find and manage several different contractors yourself. You have one trusted contact, and we make sure the work gets done properly.
Cost-Plus Pricing
Our service operates on a transparent cost-plus basis.
You pay for:
- Labour at an agreed day rate
- Materials
- Specialist subcontractors where required
- An agreed management markup for our time, organisation and responsibility as principal contractor
There are no monthly fees or ongoing subscription costs.
Rather than building large allowances and profit margins into every individual job, the cost-plus approach allows us to focus on what the property actually needs. So rather than looking after profits, we concentrate on looking after buildings.
You only pay for the work carried out, the materials used and the management required to complete it properly.
