Property Maintenance

We cover a wide range of property maintenance and handyman jobs in Gibraltar, designed to keep homes and rental listings in safe, working order. Typical tasks include small repairs, fault finding and everyday fixes that most owners do not have time, tools or skills to tackle themselves. This can involve doors and locks, shelving, curtain rails, flat pack assembly, basic plumbing and minor electrical work, as well as decorating touch ups and cosmetic improvements. For larger items, such as kitchen and bathroom refreshes, flooring repairs, joinery and light refurbishments, we coordinate the right trades so everything is handled professionally. The aim is to give you one trusted contact for most day to day property issues, rather than leaving you to chase multiple contractors.

Yes, we provide both responsive repair services and planned, preventative maintenance for properties in Gibraltar. Reactive repairs cover those urgent or unexpected issues that need attention as soon as possible, such as leaks, faulty electrics, broken locks or damaged fixtures that affect safety or comfort. Preventative maintenance is about checking key areas on a regular schedule to catch problems early, before they become expensive or disruptive. This can include inspections of plumbing, seals, damp risks, electrics, ventilation, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, windows, doors and outdoor areas. Many landlords and overseas owners choose a mix of both, using planned inspections to reduce emergencies and reactive call outs when something unexpected happens. Combining these approaches gives you better control over costs, keeps tenants happier and helps protect the long term value of your property.

We can support you with a wide range of home improvements, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, as part of a structured property maintenance and refurbishment plan. For some clients this means a light refresh, such as replacing doors and worktops, updating taps, improving lighting, re tiling specific areas or renewing grout and silicone. For others it involves more extensive work, including new layouts, replacement units, upgraded fixtures and coordinated trades such as plumbers, electricians and tilers. Our role is to help you scope the job sensibly, provide realistic options, organise the right people and make sure the work is completed to a good standard with minimal disruption. Thoughtful upgrades in kitchens and bathrooms are among the most effective ways to increase rental appeal, improve reviews and add value before a sale. We aim to balance cost, timescale and finish so the improvement makes commercial sense as well as looking good.

Upgrades designed to improve both presentation and long term value

All property maintenance and home improvement work is carried out or overseen by experienced, properly insured staff, and we work only with suitably qualified trades for specialist tasks. General handyman jobs, minor carpentry and small cosmetic works are handled by our own team. For regulated activities, such as electrical and gas work, or more complex structural projects, we use appropriately qualified professionals who understand Gibraltar’s buildings, local regulations and health and safety expectations. Insurance is in place to cover our activities on site, and we follow building rules on access, noise and working hours to keep disruption to a minimum. For you as a landlord or homeowner, this means you avoid the risks of ad hoc, unqualified work and can demonstrate that maintenance and upgrades have been handled responsibly. This is especially important for overseas owners who rely on local support.

Peace of mind for local and overseas owners using a professional team

Response times depend on how many jobs are already in progress and the nature of the problem, but we always treat urgent property maintenance issues as a priority. Problems such as active leaks, electrical faults, broken locks, unsafe glazing or issues that make a property uninhabitable are pushed to the top of the list. Where possible, we aim to attend the same day for genuine emergencies, and within an agreed timeframe for other urgent repairs. For landlords and letting agents, this helps prevent minor issues escalating into major damage, and reassures tenants that their concerns are taken seriously. For overseas owners, it means you have a local team who can attend quickly without you needing to be present. We will always be honest about any constraints and update you on access, findings and next steps once on site.

Yes, our property maintenance and home improvements services are designed for both private homeowners and landlords. Homeowners often need help with one off jobs, such as repairs, decorating or upgrades to improve comfort and presentation. Landlords usually require a mix of reactive repairs, preventative checks and light property management support to keep rental listings in good condition and tenants satisfied. We understand that the priorities can be slightly different. Homeowners may focus on personal preferences and lifestyle, while landlords tend to balance cost, durability and rental return. Our approach adapts to both, providing practical advice on what is essential, what is desirable and what can wait. Whether you live in the property, let it long term or run it as a holiday rental, the goal is the same: safe, well maintained homes that are pleasant to live in and easier to manage.

Yes, we offer a property management service, and we regularly support owners who live outside Gibraltar and need a trusted local team to look after their property. This can include key holding, arranging access for contractors, carrying out periodic inspections, sending photo reports and dealing with maintenance issues as they arise. For rental properties, we can work alongside your letting agent or property manager to handle repairs and home improvements, or act as the main contact for tenants on maintenance matters if agreed. For holiday homes and empty properties, regular visits help check security, utilities, damp risks and general condition, which is particularly important in coastal environments.

All work and decisions are agreed with you in advance wherever possible, and we keep clear records of jobs completed, materials used and costs incurred. This approach gives you practical peace of mind that your property is being actively cared for while you are away.

Reduced risk of unnoticed issues in empty or seldom visited properties

Key handling and access are managed carefully to keep your property secure while allowing timely maintenance and home improvements to take place. Where we hold keys, they are tagged and stored securely, with access restricted to authorised staff only. When arranging visits, we coordinate with tenants, building concierges or agents to confirm suitable times and respect building rules on working hours and noise. For overseas owners, we can collect keys from your agent or from a lockbox and return them as agreed once work is complete.

If we need to use master keys or building access systems, this is done with permission and logged. Our aim is to balance security and convenience, ensuring that contractors are never left unsupervised with uncontrolled access, and that you always know who has entered the property and why.

Pricing for property maintenance and home improvements is kept as transparent as possible. For small handyman jobs and straightforward repairs, we usually work from an agreed hourly rate or a minimum call out charge that covers travel, time on site and basic tools. For larger jobs, such as kitchen updates, bathroom work, decorating projects or more complex maintenance, we will normally provide a written quote that outlines what is included, what materials are required and how long the work is expected to take.

If additional issues are found once a job has started, we pause, explain the situation and agree any revised costs before proceeding. For ongoing clients, such as landlords with multiple listings, it can be helpful to agree typical approval limits in advance so that minor items can be handled quickly without repeated authorisation. The aim is always to avoid surprises and keep you fully informed.

Yes, regular inspections with clear reports and photos are a key part of our property maintenance offer, especially for landlords and overseas owners. During an inspection we check key areas such as plumbing, visible electrics, doors and windows, ventilation, signs of damp or mould, fixtures, fittings and general condition. For furnished properties we also look at wear and tear on furniture and appliances. After the visit, we provide a summary of findings, supported by photos where helpful, and highlight any recommended repairs or preventative work. Inspections can be scheduled to fit around tenancy changes, building maintenance, seasonal weather or your own preferences.

This kind of structured reporting gives you an accurate, up to date view of your property, supports insurance and compliance requirements and helps plan future home improvements in an organised way rather than reacting to problems only when they become urgent.

Scheduled inspection visits tailored to your property and needs

Clear written reports with supporting photos where required

Early identification of maintenance issues and improvement opportunities

Helpful for overseas owners, lenders and insurers as evidence of good care

Strong basis for planning future upgrades and budgeting sensibly

Yes, as part of our property maintenance and home improvement service we can organise and coordinate other trades on your behalf. Many jobs require a mix of skills, for example a bathroom upgrade that needs a plumber, tiler and electrician, or a kitchen project that combines carpentry, electrics and decorating. Rather than leaving you to source and manage each contractor separately, we can act as a single point of contact, bringing in trusted local trades, agreeing scopes of work and sequencing tasks so the job runs smoothly. We also ensure that specialist trades hold appropriate qualifications and insurance for the work they carry out.

For landlords and overseas owners, this removes a significant administrative burden and reduces the risk of miscommunication. We keep you updated on progress, costs and any unexpected findings, so you remain in control without having to be on site.

Simpler, more controlled process for owners and landlords in Gibraltar

Joinery and kitchen fitting are key parts of our home improvement and property maintenance work. Well built cupboards, wardrobes and storage can completely change how a Gibraltar apartment feels and functions, especially where space is tight. We can repair and adjust existing units, re hang doors, replace hinges and soft close mechanisms, and tidy up tired joinery so that everything feels solid and smooth to use. For more significant upgrades, we can fit new kitchen units, worktops, breakfast bars and shelving, and design simple built in storage solutions that make better use of alcoves, hallways or under used spaces.

These improvements are particularly popular with landlords who want their listings to stand out and photograph well, and with owners who prefer a smarter, more organised home without committing to a full renovation.

Ideal upgrades for busy rentals and high quality home listings in Gibraltar

Yes, we can include gardening, terrace cleaning and jet washing within your overall property maintenance plan. Outdoor areas such as balconies, terraces, patios and small gardens are a major selling point in Gibraltar, but they can quickly become dirty, slippery or overgrown if not maintained. Jet washing helps remove algae, grime and stains from tiles, walls and outdoor furniture, improving both safety and appearance. Light gardening services can include tidying beds, trimming small shrubs, sweeping leaves and keeping planters looking fresh.

For rental properties and holiday listings, regular outdoor maintenance keeps photos looking sharp and helps guests enjoy the space safely. For owner occupied homes, it simply makes it easier to relax outside without facing a long list of chores first. These services can be one off or scheduled at intervals that suit your property and budget.

Flexible schedules to suit holiday homes, rentals and family properties

Empty periods between tenancies, sales or personal use are an ideal time to undertake more involved building works and refurbishments. We can plan, coordinate and oversee these projects while the property is vacant, which usually allows work to progress faster with less disruption. Typical jobs include new flooring, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, layout tweaks, decorating throughout, joinery improvements and lighting changes. We agree the scope, timescale and budget with you in advance and then manage the sequence of trades, deliveries and inspections. Regular updates, photos and progress reports keep you informed and allow any decisions to be made quickly. Completing improvements during void periods means the property can return to the market in significantly better condition and often at a higher rent or sale price.

Ideal use of void periods to carry out more extensive home improvements

Full coordination of trades, materials and building access

Regular progress updates and photos for local and overseas owners

Properties returned to the market in a stronger, more attractive condition

Potential to increase rental income or sale value after refurbishment

Yes, we can help with wet room installation as part of our home improvement work. A well designed wet room is ideal for Gibraltar apartments, because it maximises space and creates a modern, open feel in even the smallest bathroom. The key to a successful wet room is proper preparation and waterproofing. Floors and walls must be fully tanked, levels set correctly and drainage designed to cope with daily use. We work with fully qualified trades to manage each stage, from stripping out the old bathroom to installing drains, tanking systems, tiling and final fixtures.

Wet rooms can also be a smart choice for guests with reduced mobility or for owners who want to future proof their home or rental listing. We always consider ventilation, slip resistance and maintenance so your wet room looks good and functions well for the long term.

Ideal upgrade for modern rentals, holiday lets and long term homes

We can help upgrade both individual door security and shared door entry systems to make your Gibraltar property safer and easier to manage. For front doors, this often includes fitting higher quality locks and cylinders, reinforcing strike plates, adjusting hinges and improving frames so the door closes smoothly and securely. In apartments and multi unit buildings, we can arrange installation of video or audio door entry systems, keypads, fob access or smart bells that let residents see and speak to visitors before they enter. These systems are particularly useful for landlords, holiday rentals and overseas owners, as they help manage guests, deliveries and contractors in a controlled way. All work is carried out with attention to fire regulations, escape routes and building rules, so that improved security does not compromise safety or convenience for residents.

Solutions that balance strong security with safe, practical everyday use

Installations planned around building regulations and management requirements

Yes, we can arrange CCTV and alarm system installation as part of a wider security and property maintenance plan. These solutions are increasingly popular in Gibraltar, particularly for high value apartments, ground floor units, garages and homes that are empty for part of the year. CCTV can cover entrances, corridors, car parks and outdoor areas, with modern systems allowing you to view live and recorded footage from your phone or laptop. Alarm systems can be tailored to the layout of your property, using door and window contacts, motion sensors and, where appropriate, smart integrations.

Our role is to help you choose a sensible level of protection, coordinate qualified security installers and ensure equipment is positioned correctly, without breaching building rules or neighbours’ privacy. For landlords and overseas owners, CCTV and alarms provide reassurance that the property is protected and that any incident can be understood quickly and clearly.
