The time at the end of a tenancy is a period when small things can become major. Whether you are a landlord placing accommodation for new tenants or a tenant just seeking to protect your deposit, these quick fixes will make the place look as good as possible.
1) Patching holes and painting walls
Picture hooks, shelves, and TV brackets can all leave holes or damage paint. A handyman is perfect for patching, sanding , and priming so the paint will look clean again.
2) Loose handles, hinges coming away from the doors, and not closing properly
With their daily usage, kitchen cupboards, inner doors, and wardrobes get worn out. Loose doors or broken hinges? Misaligned drawers will need to be realigned so they slide smoothly after a simple adjustment. Replacing rusty handles or stuck latches are some of the most common call-outs.
3) Resealing bathrooms and kitchens
One of the most common things that people see in their homes is mouldy or split silicon around baths, showers and sinks. The new sealant looks better right away and seals up the leaks.
4) Minor plumbing niggles
End-of-tenancy jobs include dripping taps, running toilets and loose toilet seats. For a Handyman Hereford, visit https://oddjoboctopus.co.uk/
5) Curtains, blinds and shelves
We all know that after years of wear and tear (or a hasty move-in) wobbly shelves, broken blind fittings and loose curtain poles are standard requirements for maintenance. Re-install them properly to avoid further damage.
6) Snags and safety bits
Check-out reports often report loose bannisters, unserviced extractor fan covers and broken socket faceplates.
A simple tip
Make sure to walk through the apartment at least one week before moving out. Ordering a handyman in advance provides you some slack for parts, filler/paint drying time, and reduction of stress during handover.
