Property Maintenance

Property Maintenance in Stoke-on-Trent

GD Home Improvements handles the repairs and upkeep that keep a house in good order — for homeowners and for landlords with property across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire.

Much of the housing around the Potteries is Victorian or early twentieth century terraced and semi-detached stock. Solid, but it needs looking after, and small faults outside turn into expensive problems inside if they are left.

What we help with

One point of contact for the jobs that build up over time.

  • Brickwork repairs and repointing
  • External repairs to render, sills and thresholds
  • Small joinery, timber repairs and replacement boards
  • Gutter, downpipe and roofline repairs
  • Roof repairs, slipped tiles and flashing work
  • Making a property presentable between tenancies

Problems worth catching early

Failed pointing lets water into the wall. Blocked gutters send it down the brickwork. Rotten timber at the roofline spreads. None of these are dramatic on the day you spot them, and all of them are cheaper to sort then than after a winter of rain.

Landlords and rented property

If you let property locally, we can work through a list of repairs in one visit and report back on anything else we notice while we are there. That is usually more efficient than calling out different trades for each item.

How we work

We come and look, talk through what genuinely needs doing and what can wait, then put a written quote together. We agree a start date, keep you updated and leave the property clean when we finish.

Areas covered

Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, plus Biddulph, Knypersley, Kidsgrove, Leek, Alsager, Congleton, Sandbach and Stafford. See our areas we cover page for more on where we work.

Common questions

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. A lot of maintenance work is small — a slipped tile, loose pointing, a rotten section of timber — and it is usually cheaper to deal with early than to wait.

Do you work for landlords?

Yes. We carry out repairs and upkeep on rented property as well as owner-occupied homes, and can deal directly with the landlord or agent.

Can you do several jobs in one visit?

Where the work is in the same place and needs the same access, yes. Grouping jobs together usually saves on scaffolding or ladder set-up.

What causes damp patches on an internal wall?

Externally there are a few usual suspects: failed pointing, blocked or leaking guttering, a cracked render, or water getting past the roofline. We look outside before assuming anything about the inside.

How do I arrange maintenance work?
