Plumbing Maintenance Contracts in Manchester
Scheduled checks, priority response and one monthly invoice for landlords, letting agents and businesses with property across Greater Manchester.
- One monthly invoice
- Priority response
- A record per property
Most plumbing emergencies were maintenance jobs a month earlier. The weeping valve, the tank without a jacket, the boiler that has not been serviced since the tenant moved in. A maintenance agreement puts a plumber into each property on a schedule, fixes the small things at the daytime rate, and gives you a priority response and a known price when something does fail. It is built for landlords, letting agents and block managers, and for businesses whose trading depends on the toilets working. Call 07343 065023 or ask for a proposal through the contact page.
What a scheduled visit covers
An annual visit checks that the stopcock and isolation valves actually turn, looks for weeps at every visible joint, tests taps and cisterns, checks overflows, clears slow wastes, inspects the cold-water tank and its insulation in older houses, and, where a Gas Safe engineer is on the visit, services the boiler and issues the landlord gas safety record. Faults found are fixed there and then if the part is on the van and the price is inside an agreed limit; anything larger is quoted in writing before we proceed. For a tenant with a dripping tap between visits, our guide to how to stop a leaking tap is worth sending on, and why your boiler has no hot water resolves a fair share of winter calls without a visit at all.
Portfolios across Greater Manchester
We look after student lets in Fallowfield and Rusholme, converted Victorian terraces in Chorlton and Levenshulme, apartment blocks in Ancoats and Salford Quays with communal stacks and concierge access, and larger family lets in Didsbury, Sale and Altrincham. Each property has a record of its boiler, its stopcock location and its history, so the engineer who attends an emergency at 11pm already knows what they are walking into. Emergency callouts are attended by the same emergency plumber service with your agreed priority, and out-of-hours rates still apply; they are stated in the agreement rather than discovered on the invoice. Boiler servicing and gas safety records sit with our boiler and hot water engineers.
Homeowners can book the same annual check as a one-off. The landlords section explains the agreement in more detail, and the plumbing hub covers everything else we do.

Ask me anythingQuestion 01 of 05Question 02 of 05Question 03 of 05Question 04 of 05Question 05 of 0501What does a maintenance agreement include?
A scheduled visit to each property, usually annual, covering the checks listed on this page; a boiler service and landlord gas safety record where a Gas Safe engineer is on the visit; small repairs done on the spot within an agreed cost limit; priority response for callouts between visits; a record for each property; and a single monthly invoice. The agreement states the daytime and out-of-hours rates plainly, so nothing on an invoice is a surprise.
02Is there a minimum number of properties?
No. A single let in Fallowfield and a portfolio of forty flats across Salford are both welcome, and the per-property price reflects the scale. Homeowners can book the same annual check as a one-off visit at the standard rate if they would rather not commit to an agreement. The pricing page lists the one-off check; portfolio pricing is quoted after a short survey.
03Do you deal with tenants directly?
Yes, if you want us to. We can take the call from the tenant, arrange access around their hours, attend, and report back to you or the agent with photographs and an itemised invoice. Where a fault is likely to exceed the agreed limit we contact you for approval before proceeding. Many letting agents in Didsbury, Chorlton and Sale route plumbing calls to us in exactly this way and see only the monthly summary.
04Does the agreement cover emergency callouts?
It gives you priority when you call, and the same emergency plumber attends around the clock. Out-of-hours callouts are still charged at the out-of-hours rate, because that is what they cost us to provide; the difference is that the rate is written into the agreement in advance rather than discovered on the invoice, and the engineer already knows the property.
05Can you keep the records my letting agent needs?
Yes. Each property has a file with the boiler make and model, the location of the stopcock and gas meter, the gas safety record and its renewal date, the service history and every repair with photographs. We send reminders before certificates expire and can provide the records in the format your agent or block manager uses. It is the same file our engineer reads before an emergency visit at 11pm.
