One Team for the Repairs That Keep Your Property at Its Best

Property maintenance is about keeping your property safe, well maintained and looking its best. From fixing everyday faults to replacing worn components and dealing with small problems before they become bigger ones, having a reliable team to call makes looking after your property much easier.

We cover a wide range of trades, including roofing and guttering, plumbing, electrics, plastering and rendering, brickwork, damp and timber repairs, doors, windows, decorating and general maintenance.

We’re a family-run business based in Eastbourne, and property maintenance is at the heart of what we do. Because we have a broad range of trades within our team, we can often complete several different jobs during the same visit — saving you the time and hassle of arranging multiple contractors.

We work with homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, block managers and local businesses, looking after everything from individual homes and rental properties to apartment blocks, offices, shops and communal areas.

Colin the Director personally visits customers to assess and price work, giving you a direct point of contact and a team that takes responsibility for the job from beginning to end.

Much of our work comes through recommendations and returning customers, and that’s something we’re particularly proud of. Our aim is simple: provide a reliable local service and become the team you call whenever your property needs looking after.

A little maintenance can save a lot later

Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your property and avoid unnecessary repair costs. Small issues are usually much easier and less expensive to deal with when they’re caught early.

A blocked gutter can be cleared before overflowing water damages brickwork and plaster. A slipped roof tile can be replaced before water reaches the loft, and a small plumbing leak can be repaired before it affects floors, ceilings or timbers.

This is particularly important for properties around Eastbourne and the East Sussex coast, where exposed locations, driven rain and coastal conditions can accelerate wear to roofs, render, brickwork and external finishes.

Keeping on top of the small jobs helps protect the building, maintain its appearance and extend the life of its components.

Regular maintenance today can prevent a much bigger job tomorrow.

How we work

We believe in finding the cause of a problem and fixing it properly. If there’s a damp patch, water stain or recurring defect, we look beyond what you can see to understand what’s causing it and recommend the right solution.

Before work begins, you’ll receive a clear, itemised written quotation explaining what’s included. If we uncover anything unexpected during the work, we’ll show you what we’ve found, explain the options and agree the next step with you before continuing.

While we’re working, we treat your property with respect. We protect floors and furnishings, manage dust and disruption wherever possible, and leave our working areas clean and tidy at the end of each day.

We’ll also always recommend the solution we believe is right for your property. If something can be properly repaired rather than replaced, we’ll tell you.

Our approach is simple: identify the problem, explain the solution, do the work properly and build a relationship that keeps you coming back to us.

As a property company, I have used CB now for a good few years. The service is great, the builders are very knowledgeable and they tidy up after themselves.

Landlords, agents and commercial properties

We provide reliable property maintenance for landlords, letting agents, managing agents, block managers and businesses across East Sussex.

From reactive repairs and tenancy turnarounds to planned maintenance and compliance work, our team can help keep your properties safe, maintained and running smoothly.

We can liaise directly with tenants, provide photographic reports after visits, carry out scheduled maintenance and supply the documentation required for managed properties, including insurance details, risk assessments and method statements.

With multiple trades under one roof, you have one local team and one point of contact for your property maintenance requirements.

Questions we get asked

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. There is no minimum job size. We are as happy refixing a gutter bracket or easing a sticking door as we are running a refurbishment, and small jobs are a large part of what we do. If you have a list of odd jobs we can usually work through several in one visit, which keeps the cost down.

How quickly can you come out?

For a free look at a job we are usually with you within a few days. Where water is coming in or something is unsafe, tell us when you ring on 01323 671001 and we will try to reach you the same day. Being based in the middle of Eastbourne means we are rarely more than half an hour from most of East Sussex.

What does a repair cost?

It depends on the job, which is why we look before we price rather than quoting over the phone. What we can promise is that the written quote is the price you pay unless you ask for more work or we find something hidden, and in that case we show you and agree it before carrying on.

Can one visit cover several different trades?

Usually yes, and it is one of the main reasons people call us. Because we cover plumbing, electrics, carpentry, plastering, tiling and roofing in house, one team can work through a mixed list in a day or two rather than you waiting on separate firms.

Do you offer a regular maintenance arrangement?

Yes. For landlords, agents, blocks and commercial buildings we can visit on a regular cycle and deal with routine items before they become repairs: gutters cleared, roof checked after winter, external timber and decoration looked at, and anything flagged reported with photographs.

Are you insured and accredited?

Yes. We are Gas Safe registered and members of the Federation of Master Builders, NAPIT and the FSB, and we carry public liability insurance. We are happy to show the paperwork before work starts, and you should ask any builder for it.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and manufacturer warranties on materials and products are passed on to you. If something we have done is not right, ring us and we will come back and put it right. Being local and reliant on word of mouth is the strongest guarantee there is.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Eastbourne and work across the whole of East Sussex, including Bexhill, Hastings, Seaford, Newhaven, Polegate, Hailsham, Pevensey, Willingdon, Lewes, Uckfield, Heathfield, Crowborough and Battle, and over towards Brighton. If your village is not listed, ring us and we will tell you either way.

Where we work

We are based on Hyde Gardens in Eastbourne, so the town and the villages around it are home ground for us. We are out working here most days and we know the housing well, including the older seafront terraces, the Victorian and Edwardian houses in Upperton and Meads, and the newer estates and blocks of flats nearer the edge of town.

From Eastbourne we cover the whole of East Sussex. Along the coast that takes in Bexhill, Hastings, Seaford, Newhaven, Brighton, where salt air and driving rain are hard on any building. Inland we work regularly in Polegate, Hailsham, Pevensey, Willingdon, Lewes, Uckfield, Heathfield, Crowborough, Battle and the smaller villages between them, where period cottages and country properties often need a gentler approach and older materials matched carefully.

Being local matters for property maintenance and repairs. We can get to you quickly to take a look, we know the buildings and the ground conditions, and we are never far away if you need us again. If your village is not on the list there is a good chance we still reach you, so give us a call on 01323 671001 and we will tell you either way.
