Professional Landlord

As a professional landlord in the UK, there are various jobs that you may require the help of tradesmen for. These jobs may include maintenance, repairs, renovations, and upgrades to your properties. Here is a comprehensive guide on the different types of jobs that you may need tradesmen for, the approximate costs, and how long they may take, as well as tips on how to find a good tradesman.

Maintenance Jobs
Maintenance jobs are regular tasks that help keep your properties in good condition. They may include fixing leaks, repairing damaged walls and flooring, replacing light fixtures, and more. The cost of maintenance jobs will depend on the extent of the work required and the hourly rate of the tradesman. On average, maintenance jobs may cost anywhere from £50 to £200 per hour. These jobs may take a few hours to a day to complete.

Repairs Jobs
Repair jobs are more extensive than maintenance jobs and are required when something has broken down or is not functioning correctly. For example, fixing a broken boiler, replacing a damaged roof, or repairing a broken window. The cost of repair jobs will depend on the extent of the work required and the hourly rate of the tradesman. On average, repair jobs may cost anywhere from £100 to £500 per hour. These jobs may take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete.

Renovations Jobs
Renovations jobs are more extensive than repair jobs and are required when you want to update or improve your properties. For example, updating a bathroom, kitchen, or adding a new extension. Renovations jobs may require input from multiple tradesmen, such as builders, electricians, plumbers, and more. The cost of renovations jobs will depend on the extent of the work required, the hourly rate of the tradesmen, and the cost of materials. On average, renovations jobs may cost anywhere from £500 to £5000 or more. These jobs may take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete.

Upgrades Jobs
Upgrades jobs are similar to renovations jobs, but they are focused on improving the energy efficiency or functionality of your properties. For example, installing double glazing, upgrading the insulation, or installing a new heating system. The cost of upgrades jobs will depend on the extent of the work required, the hourly rate of the tradesmen, and the cost of materials. On average, upgrades jobs may cost anywhere from £500 to £5000 or more. These jobs may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete.

Finding a Good Tradesman

When looking for a good tradesman, there are several things you can do to ensure that you find a trustworthy and reliable tradesman. Here are a few tips:

Word-of-Mouth Recommendations
One of the best ways to find a good tradesman is to ask for recommendations from friends, family, and neighbors. If someone you know has had a positive experience with a tradesman, it is likely that you will too.

Online Reviews
Another way to find a good tradesman is to check online reviews and ratings on sites like Rated People, Checkatrade, and Trustatrader. These sites allow you to see ratings and reviews from previous customers, which can give you an idea of the quality of the work and the tradesman's reliability.

PropertyHeads Tradesman Blacklist
It is also important to check the PropertyHeads Tradesman Blacklist to ensure that the tradesman you are considering has not been blacklisted due to previous bad behavior.
