In depth
General repairs — one call, one visit, a list done
Every home has a list of small jobs that never quite get done: the hinge that squeaks, the handle that's loose, the strip of sealant that's gone black, the hole in the wall that needs filling before it's painted, the gutter clip that came off in the wind. None of them justify a specialist, and all of them together make a house feel neglected. That's exactly what our general repairs service is for.
Send us the list and we'll work through it in a single visit. Jobs are quoted by the time they take, or as a fixed price for a longer list, and we bring the filler, sealant, fixings, hinges and sundries the work needs rather than expecting you to have them in a drawer.
It's the same service families use to catch up on maintenance, landlords use to keep a property in good order, and letting agents use between tenancies so a checkout list is cleared in one visit. We work across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, and anything on the list that needs a certified specialist we'll flag rather than attempt.
Why customers choose Gleamo for this
- A job list cleared in one visit rather than booked as separate trades on separate days.
- Filler, sealant, hinges, fixings and everyday sundries carried and included in the work.
- Priced by time for short jobs or as a fixed price for a longer list — agreed before we start.
- Patch and make good to a standard that's ready for decorating rather than just filled.
- Landlord and letting agent visits documented, with completion notes and photos on request.
- Specialist work identified and referred honestly instead of being bodged.
What affects the price
- How long the list takes — general repairs start from £35 an hour, or a fixed price for a bigger list.
- Number of rooms involved — jobs spread through a house take longer to move between.
- Materials — filler, sealant, hinges and fixings are included; larger items are itemised separately.
- Access and height — high ceilings, loft spaces and confined areas add time.
- Wall and surface type — plasterboard, solid walls and tiled areas need different techniques.
- Whether decorating follows — making good ready for paint takes longer than a simple patch.
Optional extras
- Garden maintenance
