When you have a property to let Cambridge UK, maintenance isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. From legal safety standards to guest satisfaction, well-managed maintenance protects your investment and ensures a smooth rental experience. Here’s how to stay on top of it without getting buried in tasks.


Routine Maintenance Checklist

Keep your property in top shape and avoid costly breakdowns with regular checks on:

  • Plumbing: Taps, toilets, drains, and water pressure

  • Appliances: Kitchen white goods, washers, dryers

  • Heating systems: Boilers, thermostats, radiators

  • Safety: Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, locks

A solid maintenance schedule leads to happy tenants—and better reviews.


Emergency Repairs — Have a Plan

From leaks to lost keys, emergencies happen. You need:

  • 24/7 response coverage

  • A network of reliable local tradespeople

  • Clear protocols for urgent issues

Cambridge Stays offers fast response and resolution for any issue, any time.


Legal Safety Requirements

Cambridge landlords are legally responsible for:

  • Annual Gas Safety Certificates

  • Five-yearly EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every floor

  • HMO-specific regulations (if applicable)

Failing to comply isn’t just risky—it’s illegal. We manage all safety checks and documentation for our landlords.


Preventive vs Reactive Maintenance

Fixing things after they break costs more. We help landlords:

  • Spot and resolve small issues before they escalate

  • Schedule seasonal checks (boiler servicing, gutter clearing)

  • Track wear and tear over time

The result? Fewer surprises, better budgeting, and a more professional reputation.


Who Does the Work?

We only use vetted, trusted local contractors who:

  • Show up on time

  • Work to high standards

  • Understand tenant communication and access requirements

You get peace of mind—and your property gets premium care.
