### The Reality of Rental Repairs

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Small problems in rentals never fix themselves. They just get worse and more expensive. Catch them early.

### Minor Repair vs Major Problem
| ✅ Minor (I can handle) | ❌ Major (needs a specialist) | |------------------------|-------------------------------| | Leaky tap washers | Burst pipes | | Loose door handles | Full door replacement | | Sticky windows | Broken window mechanisms | | Wonky cabinet doors | Whole kitchen refit | | Toilet running continuously | Blocked drains throughout |
I'll tell you straight if something's beyond minor repairs. No point messing about when you need a proper tradesperson.

If it needs a part ordering, I'll measure up and quote. ### Step 3: Confirm It's Done Test everything works properly. Let you (and/or tenant) know it's sorted. Invoice sent with clear breakdown.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Legal tip:** You've got obligations to maintain properties in "repair and proper working order." Little things like broken locks or dodgy electrics can breach this - don't ignore them. **Multiple properties?** I work with several landlords who send me a list each month. More efficient to do several properties in one trip - saves you money. **Student properties in Exeter?** September is chaos. Book maintenance visits for August before the new lot move in. Catches all the little damage from the last tenants. **Emergency repairs?** If a tenant genuinely has no heating, hot water, or a security issue, let me know it's urgent. Those get priority - you've got legal obligations to fix them fast.
Frequently Asked Questions about Minor repairs for rentals in Crediton
What counts as a minor repair?
Things like leaky taps, dripping toilet cisterns, loose door handles, broken drawer runners, wonky cabinet doors, squeaky hinges, loose towel rails. Small jobs that take 1-3 hours. If it's a bigger issue I'll tell you straight away.
How quickly can you get there?
Usually within 2-3 days, sometimes next day if it's urgent. If a tenant's got no water or heating, that jumps the queue - I know landlords have legal obligations for those.
Do you charge to diagnose the problem?
The £60 minimum covers the first hour including diagnosis. If it's something I can't fix or it needs a specialist, you're only paying for the time I was there - no extra diagnostic fee.
Can tenants contact you directly?
Either way works. Some landlords prefer all bookings through them, others give tenants my number for minor stuff. Just let me know your preference and I'll stick to it.
What if you can't fix it in one visit?
Honest answer - if it's bigger than expected or needs a part ordering, I'll tell you. No point pretending a quick fix will work when it won't. You'll know the real situation before spending more money.
