Case Study FAQs

Common questions from landlords, agents and property managers.

Can Mainteniq provide references for property maintenance in London?+

Yes. Alongside the examples on this page we can share references relevant to your property type and borough — from single flats to managed blocks and portfolios. Just ask and we'll match you to comparable work.

Do you work on blocks and property portfolios?+

We do. Much of our work is planned maintenance for managing agents and landlords with multiple units — coordinating FCU, HIU, MVHR and compliance across a whole block or portfolio under a single contract.

Can you show before and after results for renovations?+

Yes. For refurbishment projects we document the property before work starts and at handover, so you can see the transformation and the impact on re-let speed and rent.

How do you coordinate compliance certificates across a portfolio?+

We audit every property's certificate status, put CP12, EICR, TM44, PAT and F-Gas on one planned contract, and track renewals with reminders ahead of each deadline — so nothing lapses and you get one invoice.

Do you offer planned maintenance contracts for landlords?+

Yes. Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) contracts reduce reactive breakdowns, spread cost predictably across the year, and keep your properties compliant and tenant-ready.

Which London areas do you cover?+

We cover London and a 120-mile radius, including Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster, Islington, Camden, Wandsworth, the City, Canary Wharf and Greenwich, plus Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton and Reading.
