Property Maintenance for Landlords Across Surrey
Rental-property repairs rarely arrive at a convenient time, and a list of smaller jobs can quickly hold up a new tenancy. Surrey Handyman supports landlords across Surrey with one-off repairs, ongoing maintenance and turnaround work between tenancies. Our office team can review the complete job list, arrange the trades required and keep the agreed contact updated from booking through to completion.
Arrange Repairs or Maintenance for a Rental Property
Tell us the property address, whether it is occupied and what needs attention. Photographs are useful, especially if you are not at the property yourself. We will also need to know how access should be arranged, who can approve further work and whether there is a date by which the property needs to be ready.
How Long Does Landlord Maintenance Take?
A minor repair may be handled during an hourly visit, while a longer list of jobs may take a day or need more than one trade. Decorating, flooring, plastering, bathroom work and larger repairs are normally assessed and quoted before a schedule is agreed.
The overall timescale can depend on access, materials, drying time and the order in which different trades need to work. If the property is between tenancies, tell us the target date at the start so we can give you a realistic answer.
What to Expect When We Work on a Rental Property
Landlord maintenance is easier when the job, access arrangements and person authorised to approve costs are clear from the start. We gather those details before booking and explain any change once the property has been inspected.
The complete job list is reviewed
Send us every item that needs attention, along with photographs and any information already provided by the tenant or agent. This helps us distinguish straightforward repairs from faults that need a plumber, electrician, heating engineer or quoted visit.
Access arrangements are agreed
We confirm whether the property is occupied, who will provide access and how the visiting tradesperson should make contact. Any parking, key collection or building-access instructions must be agreed before the appointment.
The problem is checked properly
The tradesperson checks the reported issue and looks for any obvious cause. If the repair needed is different from the original description, or another job must be completed first, we explain this to the authorised contact.
Costs and approval are kept clear
Hourly work and quoted work are handled according to the agreed booking. If an unforeseen issue changes the scope or cost, we seek approval before undertaking additional work wherever this is required.
Different trades are scheduled in order
A between-tenancy job can involve plumbing, electrical work, plastering, decorating and flooring. Where several visits are needed, they are booked in a practical order with time allowed for materials to dry or set.
Completion and follow-on work are explained
The immediate working area is left tidy and the agreed contact is told about any remaining issue, follow-on visit or material that still needs to be arranged. Receipts are provided after payment in the usual way.
Landlord Repairs and Turnaround Work We Can Help With
A rental property often needs a mixture of small repairs and trade work, particularly between tenancies. Surrey Handyman can review the complete list and arrange services already offered across the website.
We can also help with:
- General handyman repairs, doors, locks and fittings
- Tap, toilet, shower and other plumbing work
- Electrical repairs, EICRs and PAT testing
- Heating repairs, servicing and gas safety certificates
- Plastering, flooring, painting and decorating
- Kitchen and bathroom upgrades
- External repairs and outdoor maintenance
Whether it is one reported fault or a full between-tenancy list, send us the details together. We can advise what belongs in an hourly visit, what needs a qualified trade and what should be quoted as a larger job.
Customer Testimonals
Very helpful and prompt customer service. The 'handymen' Daniel and Ben were delightful and very efficient. We will certainly use them again. Colin sorted out the boiler once again. Very grateful.
A real pleasure to do business with them. Thoroughly recommend.

Praise for Surrey Handyman
We can’t praise Colin Stallman of Surrey Handyman highly enough. He came to us to fit a new gas boiler - our previous one being unexpectedly condemned! His knowledge and expertise was only topped by his hard work and professional manner and understanding of our confusing plumbing.
Lynne - Feb 2026
Colin was very polite and experienced. He completed the radiator work within the expected timeframe and left the room neat and tidy. I would highly recommend
