Your house tells you what it needs.
We just translate.
Every quarter we send you one short list, built from the equipment actually installed in your home. Not a seasonal checklist. Not a newsletter. Your boiler, your filter size, your pool, your first winter with an outdoor kitchen.
What arrives
Every list splits the same way. It is the honest split, and it is the reason this is worth opening rather than deleting.
You can do these
No cost
Filters, humidifier canisters, rinsing the condenser coils after a summer of salt air. Twenty minutes of work. We tell you the size, where the spares are, and how often. Mark it done and your record updates — because a home record that only shows our invoices is not a record of your home.
01
We handle these
Included
Checking the expansion tank pressure. Documenting a detector nobody has recorded. Closing findings that have been sitting open in your manual. These come with the visit and carry no line item.
02
These need a trade
Estimated
Boiler service before the heating season. The dryer vent run. The fireplace gasket. Each one priced off the published rate card, with the arithmetic shown. Take them to any contractor you like — or we bring ours on the same morning.
03
How we price it
Most work is estimated as a range because most work varies. Where scope is certain — a generator oil service, a dryer vent run — you get one fixed number instead.
Every estimate says how we got there: the hours, the trade's rate from the card, and the consumables, on the item. Our rate card is published, so you can check it.
Each estimate also says what could push it up — a spent neutraliser, a cracked panel, heavy debris. If it lands high, we are confirming something we already told you.
Ever. And if the job comes in under, you pay the lower number and we tell you it happened.
The rhythm
Spring
Rinse the condenser coils, open the pool, check what the winter did to the envelope.
Summer
Generator service, drainage and gutters, and the systems that carry a house through an outage.
Autumn
Boiler service, the fireplace gasket, the dryer vent, and every line that can freeze.
Winter
What is ageing, what is coming, and the reserve figure for the year ahead.
Everything you do — by us, by another trade, or by yourself on a Saturday — goes onto the record. Which means next year this list starts shorter, and the year after that, shorter still.
Say the word and we bring the trades and clear it in a single visit. Or take the list and handle it yourself — it is your house and your record either way.
