When renting out properties, whether commercial or residential, landlords have a responsibility to ensure that all maintenance tasks are carried out promptly – and by qualified tradespersons in the case of plumbing, heating, electrics etc. Often when tenants leave, landlords find that they have to undertake thorough cleaning and general repairs.
This is why many landlords employ the services of a property management specialist.
Montagu Property Services are specialists in London property management, with a large team of professional contractors who are skilled and qualified in a range of services, enabling us to provide an emergency response service as well as planned maintenance tasks.
Whether you have a burst pipe at one of your properties or even the discovery of dry rot, we have the expertise to solve any property problem – we have even solved problems where other companies have failed.
What does landlord property management from Montagu Property Services cover?
From Part P registered electricians to Gas Safe registered heating and plumbing engineers, our team of professionals will carry out a range of services which include:
Internal painting and decorating
It’s not until a tenant moves out that you can see all the scuffs, marks and damage to walls, ceilings, architrave and woodwork. Before a new tenant moves in, we can redecorate your property and even take care of the communal areas too.
External Painting and decorating
Being exposed to the elements, render, window frames and doors will need regular attention. We can repair any damage to exterior brickwork, render, windows or doors and then repaint.
Gas Safety
It is a landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the heating system is operating safely. Regular servicing reduces the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and ensures the boiler is working at its most efficient. Our Gas Safe engineers are able to carry out annual gas safety checks on boilers as required by law and issue Gas Safety Certificates, and can carry out any repairs and install new heating systems if required.
Plumbing and heating
Our skilled tradespeople are able to carry out a wide range of plumbing and heating work, regardless of how small or large the job. We can carry out jobs such as changing tap washers, plumbing emergencies, and even the design and installation of new bathrooms.
Electrics and lighting
Our qualified electricians can carry out a range of electrical services including PAT testing, repairs, rewiring and NEICC inspections and reports.
Cleaning services
Let’s face it, however clean your tenants, when they move out your property is going to need a deep clean. We can arrange for your property to be cleaned thoroughly – from top to bottom – ensuring it is clean, hygienic and ready for your new tenants to move in.
Handyman services
Everything from changing door locks to fixing a squeaky floorboard, whatever little job you need doing, we will be more than happy to do it for you.
Carpentry and joinery
Our skilled carpenters and joiners can handle a range of projects from installing new skirting boards or architraves, to hanging doors, putting up shelving and building bespoke cupboards.
Flooring
In a tenanted property, flooring takes its fair share of wear and tear. Whether you need new carpeting fitted, vinyl, wood or tiled flooring laid, repairs to existing flooring, or even your wooden flooring polished, we can help.
Plastering
Damage to walls are commonplace in a rented property. Our skilled plasterers are able to repair damaged plasterboard and walls, as well as re-skimming an entire room or whole property.
Kitchen installation and repair
Our team of expert kitchen fitters can undertake any repairs or refurbishment projects such as re-grouting, re-sealing, mending kitchen units and drawers, or installing new worktops. We also are able to provide a complete kitchen design and installation service.
Roofing and guttering
A leaking roof or guttering can cause thousands of pounds of damage if left unchecked. Water damage from a leaking roof can damage electrics, roof trusses, ceilings etc., whereas broken or blocked gutters can cause damp ingress as well as damaging bricks or render. We can carry out regular maintenance on gutters and roofing, as well as undertaking emergency repairs.
Other services include, but are not limited to:
- Fencing and security
- Damp-proofing and timber treatment
- Pest and vermin control
- French polishing
- Maintenance of windows and doors – including fire door checks
- Repair and installation of coving and mouldings

Commercial property comes with its own set of problems, including security and regular maintenance of high traffic areas.
We can provide landlords with regular servicing and maintenance of appliances, fixtures and fittings such as:
- Gas Safe certificates and regular boiler maintenance
- PAT testing
- Air conditioning maintenance and repair
- Lighting and electrical services
- Door and window maintenance

Listed property management
If you are a landlord of a listed property, you will be all too aware of the special requirements that need to be adhered to when updating or repairing the building. As a specialist property management company based in London, we have the necessary know-how and contacts which can handle all building requirements such as listed building consent to carry out any work on your property. This, together with our own team of qualified trade professionals, means that all maintenance tasks or building repair will be undertaken correctly, using the right materials to meet listed building requirements.
Whether you have a single property, or a portfolio of properties, whether domestic or commercial, we will undertake all property management on a bespoke basis to ensure that every task is completed to meet all regulations.
Listed buildings, in the main, are older properties which means that they will require more ongoing repairs – especially if they are used in a multiple occupancy or commercial setting. We can provide you with a planned maintenance service which will regularly check areas of the building, fixtures and fittings which are likely to require regular maintenance.
We also understand that any emergency, such as a broken water pipe or faulty electrics, must be dealt with quickly to avoid lasting damage to heritage properties. Our 24-hour emergency call-out service will deal with any emergency quickly and in line with listed building requirements.
