For landlords & letting agents
We understand the demands of managing rental properties. We deliver consistent, high-quality work — and keep you fully informed every step of the way, whether you are on-site or across the country.
Our standard
We have heard it too many times from other contractors — using the fact that a property is rented as a reason to cut corners or deliver substandard work. That is not how we operate. Every job we carry out is completed to the same standard, full stop.
Your rental property is a business asset. It needs to be maintained properly — to protect its value, to meet your legal obligations, and to keep your tenants safe and satisfied. We take all of that seriously.
"It's only a rental" is not something you will ever hear from us. Every job is completed to the same high standard, regardless of whether it is a rental property or a family home.
We keep up with changing landlord legislation — including Awaab's Law and damp & mould obligations — so you can be confident the work we carry out meets current requirements.
We treat your tenants with the same courtesy and respect as any homeowner. We communicate clearly, minimise disruption, and leave the property clean and tidy.
Whether you have one property or many, we offer dependable maintenance you can plan around — with clear communication and the same high standard every time.
Materials & specification
We understand that every landlord has different priorities. Some want to keep costs lean between tenancies — others want harder-wearing finishes that last longer and reduce call-outs down the line. We work to your brief, not ours.
Before any job starts, we will talk you through the options available at different price points — so you can make an informed decision that suits your budget and your property.
Budget-conscious
Functional, clean and fit for purpose. Ideal for keeping costs down between tenancies without compromising on the standard of work.
Mid-range
A balance of quality and value. Better-looking finishes and longer-lasting materials that reduce the frequency of repeat work.
Premium & hard-wearing
Higher-specification materials built to last. Fewer call-outs, better tenant retention, and a property that holds its value over time.
Full transparency
We know that many landlords never visit the properties they let. That is why we have built a reporting process that keeps you fully informed — with clear evidence of every piece of work completed.
From a simple before and after photo for a minor repair, to a full written works completion report for a larger project — you will always have a professional record of what was done, when, and to what standard.
Example document

For larger projects we produce a full written report with descriptions, photos and sign-off documentation. A professional record you can keep on file.
On request, we can record a full video walkthrough of the completed work — giving you a clear, detailed view of the finished job from wherever you are.
Want to talk through the work in real time? We are happy to jump on a video call so you can ask questions and see the results directly.
What we cover
From routine maintenance to full refurbishments between tenancies, we handle it all. No need to manage multiple contractors — one call to us and it gets dealt with, properly.
"DSM have become our go-to maintenance team across several of our properties. The works completion reports are exactly what we need for our records, and the quality of work is consistently excellent."
