Local team, local knowledge.
Solihull is a different kind of patch — leafier, lower-density and weighted towards owner-occupiers. The 1930s-to-1960s detached and semi-detached homes of Shirley, Olton, Dorridge and Knowle bring us steady extension, kitchen, bathroom and full-refurbishment work rather than the high-churn HMO turnover of the bigger cities. Several Solihull neighbourhoods sit within conservation areas — Knowle and Hampton-in-Arden among them — where sympathetic repair matters: matching brick, lime pointing, and timber sash and casement windows kept in character. Closer to the M42 and the airport we handle reactive maintenance for managed lettings and the occasional void. Much of our work here is improvement and value-adding rather than emergency reactive, though our 24/7 callout covers the borough just the same.
We deliver general repairs as part of our wider Solihull property maintenance service, and across the rest of the Midlands. See the full general repairs service for everything we cover.

What's the difference between general repairs and emergency repairs?+
General repairs are booked in advance at our standard hourly rate — typically next-day or within the week, no callout fee. Emergency repairs are 24/7 rapid-response: same-day attendance, callout fee for the first hour, and a premium for out-of-hours. Use general for everything that can wait until tomorrow; use emergency when it can't.
Can I batch a snag list for a single visit?+
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Send a list and a few photos when booking, we'll tell you whether it's a half-day or full-day and quote a fixed price up front.
Do you work for letting agents?+
Yes — we're an approved contractor for several Midlands lettings agencies and property managers. Job-pack billing, photo handover, and direct tenant liaison on request.
