About This Service

Property Maintenance You Can Rely On

Properties in Cornwall and Devon face unique challenges. Coastal salt air accelerates corrosion, exposed hilltop locations take a battering from Atlantic storms, and older buildings need regular attention to stay in good condition. NJG Construction provides a comprehensive maintenance service that covers everything from minor repairs and odd jobs to scheduled property upkeep and full landlord management support.

Our network of skilled tradespeople handles the kind of work that does not always fit neatly into a single trade category. Dripping taps, sticking doors, broken fence panels, cracked tiles, gutter clearing, damp patches, and general wear and tear — these are the jobs that pile up when you are busy running a household, managing a rental portfolio, or operating a business. We take care of them efficiently and affordably so you do not have to chase multiple contractors.

For landlords and letting agents, we offer scheduled maintenance contracts that keep your properties in top condition between tenancies. We also provide holiday let turnoround services for the busy tourism season, ensuring your property is guest-ready after every changeover. With tradespeople based across the region, we can respond quickly wherever your property is located.

What We Cover

Maintenance Services

Property Upkeep

Regular property inspections and maintenance to catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Ideal for second homes, holiday properties, and absentee owners.

Minor Repairs

Fixing the everyday problems that accumulate in any property — leaking taps, loose handles, cracked tiles, squeaky hinges, damaged plasterwork, and everything in between.

Handyman Services

Skilled multi-trade handymen for jobs that do not require a specialist. Shelving, flat-pack assembly, picture hanging, curtain poles, TV mounting, and general DIY tasks.

Scheduled Maintenance

Pre-planned maintenance visits on a monthly, quarterly, or seasonal schedule. We create a tailored plan for your property covering gutters, exterior checks, heating systems, and more.

Landlord Property Management

End-to-end maintenance support for landlords and letting agents. We handle tenant repair requests, pre-tenancy inspections, and compliance work so you can focus on your portfolio.

Holiday Let Turnovers

Fast turnaround maintenance and checks between guest stays. We inspect, repair, and prepare your holiday property so it is always in perfect condition for the next booking.

Commercial Building Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance for offices, shops, restaurants, and commercial premises. We keep your business environment safe, presentable, and compliant with health and safety requirements.

Reactive Repairs

When something breaks unexpectedly, we dispatch the right tradesperson quickly. From burst pipes to broken windows, we minimise downtime and get things back to normal fast.

Common Questions

Maintenance FAQs

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer flexible maintenance contracts tailored to your property and needs. Options range from quarterly inspection visits for homeowners to monthly scheduled maintenance for landlords with multiple properties. Each contract includes a set number of visits, a priority response guarantee, and discounted hourly rates for any additional work. We will design a plan that covers seasonal tasks like gutter clearing, boiler checks, and exterior inspections.
How quickly can you respond to a maintenance request?
For standard maintenance jobs, we typically schedule a visit within two to five working days depending on your location and the type of work needed. Urgent reactive repairs are prioritised and we aim to attend within 24 hours. If you have a maintenance contract, you receive priority scheduling which usually means next-day attendance for non-emergency work. True emergencies like burst pipes or power failures are handled through our 24/7 emergency service.
Can you manage maintenance for my rental properties?
Absolutely. We work with landlords and letting agents across Cornwall and Devon to provide full maintenance management for rental portfolios. Tenants can raise repair requests directly through our system, and we handle everything from initial assessment to completion with full reporting back to you. We also carry out pre-tenancy and end-of-tenancy inspections, inventory checks, and can coordinate with your letting agent on access and scheduling.
How much do general maintenance jobs cost?
Most handyman and general maintenance work is charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum call-out of one hour. Rates vary by trade and location but you will always receive a clear quote before we start. For larger or more complex jobs, we provide a fixed price so you know exactly what to expect. Maintenance contract holders benefit from reduced hourly rates and bundled visit pricing. Check our rates page for current pricing.
Do you cover holiday lets and Airbnb properties?
Yes. Cornwall and Devon have a large number of holiday lets and short-term rentals, and we provide tailored turnaround services for these properties. This includes between-guest maintenance checks, minor repairs, appliance fault resolution, and seasonal preparation. We understand the tight turnaround times involved and can often attend the same day a guest checks out to ensure the property is ready for the next arrival.
What areas do you cover?
We cover all of Cornwall and Devon, from Bude and Ilfracombe in the north to Falmouth and Plymouth in the south, and everywhere in between. Our network of tradespeople is spread across the region so we can usually find someone local to your property. Whether your property is in a Truro town centre, on the Lizard peninsula, or in a rural Devon village, we have the coverage to help.
