Owning or managing a property often means dealing with unexpected repairs, ongoing maintenance and the challenge of finding reliable tradespeople at short notice.
A minor problem can quickly become more complicated when it requires several different contractors – or when you do not know who to trust with the work.
At South Devon Construction, our on-call property support service offers a straightforward alternative to conventional maintenance contracts.
Following a free initial property visit, we become your trusted building partner. Whether you need a minor repair, planned maintenance or a larger project involving multiple trades, you have one reliable point of contact to get everything organised.
There are no subscriptions, retainers or unnecessary monthly fees. You simply contact us when your property needs attention.
How Does Our On-Call Property Service Work?
1. A Free Initial Property Visit
We begin by visiting your property free of charge.
This gives us an opportunity to understand the building, discuss any current concerns and learn about potential future maintenance requirements.
Becoming familiar with the property before a problem arises means you already have an experienced contractor to contact when support is needed.
2. Support Whenever You Need It
Once your property is registered with us, we are available whenever it requires attention.
You might need help with:
- An unexpected building repair
- Planned property maintenance
- Work required between holiday-let guests or tenants
- Improvements to a commercial property
- A renovation or larger building project
- Several different trades working together
There are no subscriptions, retainers or fixed monthly charges. You only contact us—and pay—when work is required.
3. We Organise and Manage the Work
Finding dependable tradespeople and coordinating their work can be time-consuming, particularly when a job needs to be completed quickly.
As experienced principal contractors, we can take responsibility for organising and managing the entire process.
Depending on the work required, we can:
- Complete the work using our own experienced teams
- Arrange trusted specialist contractors
- Coordinate labour, materials and access
- Manage the work from start to finish
- Oversee quality and progress
- Keep you informed throughout
Instead of dealing with several separate companies, you have one trusted contractor responsible for getting the work completed properly.
Transparent Cost-Plus Pricing
Our on-call property service operates on a transparent cost-plus basis.
You pay for:
- Labour at an agreed rate
- Materials used
- Specialist subcontractors where required
- An agreed management charge for our time, organisation and responsibility as principal contractor
There are no monthly subscription or membership costs.
This approach means you only pay for the work carried out, the materials used and the management required to complete it properly.
Rather than building large allowances into every job, we can concentrate on finding the right solution for the property.

Unlike many general property maintenance providers, we are experienced construction professionals.
With more than 25 years of industry experience, our team undertakes everything from everyday repairs to structural alterations, renovations, extensions and complete building projects.
This means you are not simply paying someone to respond to an individual problem. You are gaining access to experienced teams, specialist knowledge and trusted contacts who can look after the property properly.
