Plumber for landlords and letting agents in Stockport
Tenant call-outs, turnaround work between tenancies, and annual checks that stop the midnight phone calls. One number, one plumber, and an invoice that goes where you tell me.
DJB Plumbing & Heating looks after rental properties across Stockport for private landlords and letting agents. Declan takes the call from you or the tenant, arranges access directly, does the work, sends photos, and invoices whoever you tell him to. Open 7am to 6pm every day, so tenant emergencies at the weekend are covered.
What I do for landlords
- Tenant call-outs for leaks, no water, blocked wastes, running toilets and heating faults, with the tenant contacted directly to arrange access
- Turnaround work between tenancies: taps, toilets, showers, silicone, and anything the check-out report flagged
- Annual plumbing and heating checks so faults are found before a tenant finds them
- Bathroom refits and suite swaps in rental properties, done quickly to keep void periods short
- Washing machine and dishwasher connections, outside taps, and isolating valves so future jobs are quicker
- Written reports with photos where a claim or a deposit deduction needs evidence
How it works with agents
- The agent or the landlord sends me the address, the tenant's number and what's been reported. Email is fine; a phone call is quicker for anything urgent.
- I ring the tenant, agree a time, and turn up. If the tenant is out at work I'll fit around them, including early mornings and weekends.
- The job is done. If I find something else, I photograph it and send you a price before doing anything more.
- Photos and a short note go to whoever you nominate, and the invoice goes to the agent or the landlord as instructed.
Between tenancies
The cheapest time to fix a rental property is when it's empty. A turnaround visit covers every tap, toilet, shower and waste, the stopcock, the appliance connections and the silicone, with the small stuff done on the spot and anything bigger priced for you to decide on. Most turnarounds are done in half a day and mean the next tenant's first month doesn't start with a repair request.
What I don't do
Gas safety certificates and gas boiler work. I'll tell you straight if a fault needs a Gas Safe engineer and I can recommend one. Everything on the water side, including radiators, cylinders, pumps and valves, I handle myself.
Landlord questions
Can you deal with the tenant directly?
Yes, and it's usually quickest. You send me the address and the tenant's number, I arrange access with them, and you get the photos and the invoice afterwards.
Do you offer a fixed price for a turnaround check?
The check itself is charged as a standard visit. Repairs found are priced individually and only done if you say yes. For agents with several properties I'm happy to agree a standing arrangement.
Will you invoice the agent?
Yes. Agent, landlord, or management company, whichever you tell me, with the property address on every invoice.
Are you available at weekends for tenant emergencies?
Yes, 7am to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday at the same rate as a weekday. Outside those hours, tenants can leave a voicemail and I ring back first thing.
