Property maintenance quotes — FAQ

Send us a property maintenance job — a tenant's message, an email, or one line. We find vetted local trades and send you back three quotes for the same job. You pick one, or none. It's free for landlords and letting agents.

Landlords, letting agents, and property managers in the UK who want maintenance quotes without phoning round contractors themselves.

No. Independent local contractors do the work. We find them, check their paperwork, and collect the quotes. Your contract for the work is with the trade you choose.

FixQuotes covers the whole of the UK. We work with independent local trades wherever your property is — including London, the Home Counties, the Midlands, the North West, and Scotland.

Plumbing and heating (Gas Safe), electrical (Part P), roofing, damp and mould, refurbishment, decorating, locksmiths, carpentry, EICRs, EPCs, and gas safety certificates.

Yes. No fee, no subscription, no minimum spend. The winning trade pays us a referral fee, and only when they win the job.

The trade pays us only if they're awarded the job and the work goes ahead. The fee comes out of their margin, not added to your price. Nobody pays anything for unsuccessful quotes.

No. Pick any quote, none of them, or come back later. There's nothing to sign up to and no account to delete.

Of course. Use us for the jobs where you want options, or a quick check that a price is fair.

Typically within 2 hours for most jobs. Emergencies, like no heating or an active leak, jump the queue.

We write every job up properly before any trade sees it. All three trades price that same write-up — same work, same materials, same exclusions — so the prices actually compare.

Yes. Mark the job as urgent and it jumps the queue. Quotes typically come back within 2 hours, with the same Gas Safe and Part P checks applied.

Tell us. We can rewrite the job with a tighter scope, ask the trades for cheaper options, or find more quotes.

We confirm public liability insurance for every trade, plus Gas Safe registration for gas work and Part P competence for fixed electrical work. We collect references and review feedback after each job.

We can source quotes for any of these from appropriately qualified trades. The certificate is issued by the contractor (or registered assessor), not by FixQuotes.

Your contract for the work is directly with the contractor you choose. FixQuotes is the introducer — we are not a party to the contract or the works themselves.

Yes. Many of our customers are letting agents and property managers running maintenance on their landlords' behalf. There's no per-seat fee or contract — use it for one job or every job.

Yes. If you're routing 30+ maintenance jobs a month, get in touch and we'll set up a faster intake (forwarding address or shared inbox).

Every job has a reference number, a brief, and the set of quotes returned. Forward them into your CRM or property management system for a complete record.
