In the world of property management, trust is everything. From the relationship you build with landlords to the service you provide to tenants, every interaction is built on a foundation of reliability. This is never more true than when it comes to property maintenance.
When a repair is needed, you’re not just looking for someone who can fix a leak or mend a broken light switch. You're looking for someone you can trust to enter a tenant's home, do the job right, and represent your brand with professionalism. This is where the power of vetting comes in.
Vetting goes beyond simply checking a box. It's about ensuring that the people you work with have the right skills, the necessary qualifications, and a proven track record of quality work.
In a competitive market, a commitment to rigorous vetting sets you apart. It demonstrates that you prioritise the safety of your tenants, the quality of your properties, and the satisfaction of your landlords.
Why Fixflo is partnering with Checkatrade
Fixflo understands the importance of this trust. That’s why we’ve partnered with Checkatrade, a name synonymous with quality and reliability in the trades. This collaboration is about making it easier for you to access the vetted, reliable tradespeople you need, when you need them, all within your existing Fixflo workflows.
This partnership isn’t just about convenience, it’s about confidence. Every Checkatrade member passes up to 12 rigorous checks, from proof of their qualifications and insurance to a review of their trading history and customer feedback. This is the kind of meticulous vetting that gives you, your landlords, and your tenants the ultimate peace of mind. Plus, with the Checkatrade guarantee covering work up to £1,000 subject to Checkatrade’s terms and conditions, you have an added layer of protection.
