REPAIRS
If any maintenance work is required to your property and is likely to cost more than £100 you will be contacted with an estimate of these costs, prior to any work being under taken (please notify us if you would like to use your own maintenance contractors).
Smaller repairs under £100 are frequently undertaken at the time of the inspection purely as this is more cost-effective, rather than incurring further call out charges.
In an emergency, that if left unattended, is likely to cause serious damage to the property, an emergency repair is carried out immediately.
Barrat Gray has a long standing relationship with many contractors. Contractors who are found to be unreliable or untrustworthy are not invited to quote for future work, regardless of how competitive their fee’s are.
All repairs are at the landlord's expense unless they are caused by the tenant, if this is the case the cost will be charged to that tenant.
