Reactive and planned maintenance for landlords, agents and portfolio owners.
Running a portfolio of London properties means a constant stream of small problems — a tenant reporting a leaking shower at 9pm on a Sunday, a void flat that needs decorating between lets, a Section 11 repair that has to be sorted before next month's inspection, a hallway light that's been out for a week and is starting to show up in tenant complaints. TrustBuilt Projects works with landlords, managing agents and small portfolio owners across London to take that load off. We handle the full reactive side — leaks, electrical faults, blockages, broken locks, damaged doors, heating failures — and the planned side too: void turnarounds, end-of-tenancy make-good, periodic inspections, gutter clearance, exterior repaints and gradual fabric upgrades. Because we have plumbers, qualified gas engineers, electricians, carpenters, plasterers and decorators on the same team, one call covers most of what would otherwise be five contractors. Work is logged, photographed and reported back so the property file stays clean for the next inspection or sale.
We work with single landlords from one rental flat through to portfolio owners and managing agents covering 50+ units across London. Arrangements range from straightforward per-job invoicing for occasional issues through to scheduled monthly visits, priority call-out cover and agreed hourly rates for higher-volume clients. No long contracts, no retainer required. All London boroughs within 20 miles of the centre, with a free portfolio walk-round before anything is agreed so we understand the stock before the first job comes in.
We visit your property, assess the work needed, and listen to your priorities.

Both. We work with owners of a single rental flat all the way through to managing agents handling 50+ units. The arrangement scales — per-job invoicing for smaller landlords, regular scheduled visits and priority response for larger portfolios.
Most clients are on straightforward per-job invoicing — you call when something needs doing, we quote or attend, you pay for the work done. Larger portfolios can move to a monthly arrangement with priority response and agreed hourly rates. We don't lock you into long contracts and there's no retainer if you don't want one.
Urgent issues — escaping water, no heating in winter, no hot water, security failures — we aim to attend same-day or next-morning. Non-urgent repairs are typically booked within 2–5 working days. Priority response can be arranged for portfolio clients who need tighter SLAs.
Yes. Gas safety inspections and certificates are delivered by qualified gas engineers on our team. EICRs are coordinated through qualified electricians; we handle any remedial work that comes out of either certificate so you're not chasing a separate contractor to close the report.
Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we do for agents. Typical void turnaround covers patch and paint, minor carpentry, deep-clean coordination, replacing damaged fittings, sorting any outstanding repairs from the previous tenancy, and a final snag walk. Most flats turn around in 3–7 working days.
Yes. Every job comes back with a short written summary and before/after photos where relevant. For portfolio clients we can format these to match your existing property management system so the file stays consistent.
All London boroughs within roughly a 20-mile radius of central London. If your portfolio sits across north, south, east and west London we can still service it centrally — we plan reactive routes around where our team already is on a given day.

Figures cover labour only. Materials, fittings and replacement parts are charged on top, typically with a 5-15% handling markup. Emergency, weekend and out-of-hours call-outs usually carry a 25-50% surcharge. Specialist gas, electrical or structural work is priced separately. Landlords and managing agents can often negotiate a reduced rate via a monthly retainer or call-off contract.
Central London (Zone 1) commands £60-£75/hr while outer zones run £40-£55/hr; travel and parking in congestion/ULEZ areas push rates up.
Basic odd-jobs sit at the low end, but plumbing, electrical or carpentry tasks pull rates toward £75-£100/hr plus any certification needed.
Most handymen apply a minimum charge or call-out fee, so grouping several small jobs into one visit cuts the per-task cost significantly.
Quoted rates are usually labour-only; fittings, paint, sealant and replacement parts are added, often with a small handling markup on top.
Emergency, weekend or out-of-hours work attracts a 25-50% surcharge, whereas planned, scheduled maintenance is booked at the standard rate.
Landlords and agents with multiple properties can secure lower effective rates through a monthly retainer or call-off arrangement rather than ad-hoc bookings.
