Recent jobs, updated September 2026

Real jobs, with the photographs we sent the agent.

What the tenant reported, what it actually was, and what it looked like when we left, specialist and small deliberately side by side.

What gets removed: tenant names, house numbers, anything in a photo that identifies the property, and any interior shot where we don’t have the tenant’s consent. Agencies are named only where the agency has agreed in writing.

Vertical radiator, pipework renewed inside the wall

Remove the old radiator, renew the pipework inside the wall, and fit a vertical radiator in its place. The wall was then made good, ready for decorating.

Specialist core: concealed pipework and a wall to make good afterwards. Not a job to hand to a general handyman.

Oven smoking and tripping the electrics

The tenant reported the oven smoking and tripping the electrics shortly after moving in. Two faults behind it: the element had cracked, which was causing the trip, and a build-up of grease was causing the smoke.

A replacement element and a professional clean, and it was working as new.

Cracked element and a build-up of grime

The tenant complained that the oven was smoking and then tripped the electrics. On inspection there were two issues: a cracked element causing the trip, and a build-up of grime causing the smoking.

After a thorough clean and a replacement element it was working, and looking, like new.

Overflowing gutters making the patio slippery

The tenant was complaining about rain overflowing the gutters and making the patio underneath slippery. On inspection the gutters were packed with moss and the downpipe was blocked.

The runs were cleared and the downpipe unblocked, so rain could flow through the gutters easily again.

Why this page exists

One entry a week. That’s the entire content plan.

Most trade sites fill up with articles nobody reads. This page does the same job better: it’s real, it’s specific to Bedfordshire, and it’s the only page on the site that changes.

If you want to know whether we can handle your portfolio, read the last ten entries rather than the sales page.
