Minor repairs sorted quickly for your rental property. I'll fix the little jobs that annoy tenants - handles, doors, shelves, catches - properly and efficiently.
### Stop Small Problems Becoming Big Complaints
That wobbly door handle your tenant mentioned three weeks ago? Now they're emailing about it again. The shelf that's slightly wonky? It's fallen down and broken someone's laptop.
**Small repairs ignored become big headaches.** Annoyed tenants, bad reviews, tenancy problems.
I work with landlords all over Honiton sorting the little stuff fast. One visit, multiple jobs, everything fixed properly. Tenants happy, you're happy, no drama.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Keep a running list of minor issues. When you've got 4-5 jobs, book me for a batch visit. Way more cost-effective than individual callouts for each squeaky hinge.

### Done Properly vs Done Quickly
Some handymen rush minor repairs to fit more jobs in. **That just creates repeat callouts.**
| ✅ Fixed Properly | ❌ Bodged | |--------------|---------------| | Loose handle - tightened and checked mechanism | Just tightened the visible screw | | Squeaky hinge - cleaned and properly oiled | WD40 sprayed (squeaks back in a week) | | Wobbly shelf - remounted with proper fixings | Bigger screws in same holes | | Sticky door - planed and rehung if needed | Just forces shut now |

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Batch jobs save money** - I charge £60 minimum callout, so getting multiple jobs done in one visit makes way more sense than separate trips. Build a list, book when you've got 3-5 things. **Between tenancies is ideal time** - property's empty, easy access, can make a bit of noise without annoying anyone. I can knock out a whole list of accumulated issues in one morning. **Tenant-direct service available** - some landlords give tenants my number for small repairs. I fix it, note what was done, bill you monthly. Saves you being the middleman for every wobbly handle. **Exeter's older rentals** need more attention to minor repairs - period features mean more hinges, latches, sash windows, door furniture. All stuff that needs maintaining. I work on older properties all the time - I know what to expect.
Frequently Asked Questions about Minor repairs rental in Honiton
What counts as a minor repair?
Stuff like wobbly door handles, squeaky hinges, loose shelf, dripping tap washer, stuck window, cupboard door off its hinge. Jobs that take 10-30 mins each but are annoying for tenants. I can usually fix 3-5 of these in one visit, which saves you money vs multiple callouts.
How quickly can you respond to tenant maintenance requests?
Depends how urgent. Broken lock or major leak gets same-day/next-day priority. Squeaky hinge or loose handle is usually within a week. I work with several landlords who batch their minor repairs - I visit once a month and knock out everything that's built up.
Can I give you a list of jobs to do in one visit?
That's ideal actually. Send me a list of everything that needs doing - I'll estimate time and quote you. Much more efficient than multiple visits for individual jobs. Most landlords build up a list between tenancies or every few months and I blitz through it.
Do you work directly with tenants or through me?
Your call. Some landlords give tenants my number for minor stuff (saves you being the middleman). Others prefer to stay in the loop. Either way works - just let me know how you want it handled.
What if a 'minor' repair turns out to be bigger?
I'll let you know immediately. Sometimes what looks like a squeaky hinge is actually a sagging door that needs rehinging properly. I'll explain what's actually needed, quote the extra work, and you decide whether to do it now or later.
