Need trades done but can't be there yourself? I'll provide access, supervise the work, check quality, and report back. Peace of mind when you can't be on site.
### When You Can't Be There But Work Needs Doing
Here's the problem: the boiler engineer can only come Tuesday at 10am. You're at work 60 miles away. Your elderly mum's house needs the work done but she doesn't understand what they're doing. Your **rental property needs repairs but you're not local**.
You need someone on site who **knows what they're looking at** - not just a neighbor doing you a favor, but someone who'll properly check the work and spot if something's not right.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** This service is especially useful for landlords managing multiple properties in the Sidmouth area but living elsewhere. I can be your local eyes and ears.

### Why Not Just Give Them a Key?
Fair question. Here's why supervision matters:
| ✅ Supervised Work | ❌ Unsupervised | |-------------------|-----------------| | Someone checks it's done properly | Discover issues after they've left | | Questions answered on the spot | Tradesperson calls you repeatedly | | Site security maintained | Property left open and unattended | | Progress reported to you | Find out hours later via invoice | | Issues spotted early | Problems discovered weeks later |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Job Briefing Tell me what work's being done, who's coming, when they're arriving, and any specific concerns. I'll confirm I understand what's expected. ### Step 2: On-Site Supervision I'm there to let them in, provide site access, answer property questions, and monitor the work. I'll check it makes sense as it progresses. ### Step 3: Quality Check & Report Before the tradesperson leaves, I verify the work's been completed properly. Then I update you - photos if useful, summary of what was done, any concerns.
Our Sidmouth Service Coverage
We cover Sidmouth and a 30-mile radius from Exeter, meaning you get local service with the backing of an established business. Whether you're in the centre of Sidmouth or in the surrounding villages, we're here to help.
Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple properties?** If you're a landlord with several Exeter-area rentals, I can be your local point of contact for trades across multiple sites. Saves you coordinating everything from afar. **Emergency cover?** Boiler breaks down on a Saturday and tenant needs it fixed urgently? I can be there to let the engineer in and make sure the repair's done properly. **Old Exeter properties?** I know the quirks of Victorian and Edwardian houses - when tradespeople hit unexpected issues (solid walls, old wiring, strange plumbing), I can make sensible decisions about how to proceed without needing to call you for every little thing.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tradesperson supervision in Sidmouth
What exactly do you do while supervising?
I let the tradesperson in, make sure they've got what they need, check the work makes sense as it progresses, and verify it's done properly before they leave. I'm also there to answer any questions about the property if they hit unexpected issues.
Can you supervise multiple trades in one day?
Yes - if you've got the plumber coming at 9am and the electrician at 2pm, I can be there for both. You pay for the total time I'm on site. Common for landlords coordinating several jobs on a rental property.
What if the work takes longer than expected?
I'll let you know if they're running over. We can either extend my time there (you pay for the extra hours) or I can arrange to come back another time to check the finished work. Your call.
Do you actually understand what the trades are doing?
I've got 20+ years in construction and home maintenance, so yes - I know when plumbing looks right, when electrical work is sound, when decorating is being done properly. I'm not just a warm body letting people in; I'm checking the work is good.
Is this mainly for landlords or do homeowners use it too?
Both. Landlords use it when they're not local. Homeowners use it when they can't take time off work but need urgent repairs done. Also useful for elderly relatives' properties when family can't be there in person.
