Meet the Property Store Contractors!

Meet the Property Store Contractors!
May 22, 2022

It sometimes happens that things can go wrong in a property, and we need to send out one of our lovely contractors to come fix the problem. From plumbing to electrics, we have them all, so here’s a quick introduction to some of our trustworthy contractors that you may meet at some point! 

A Watertight Solution

A lot of you will know and recognise their friendly faces by now as they carry out the gas safety checks and Legionella’s in our properties, Matt, Connor and John are our trusted plumbers. Some of you will recall meeting them from a variety of differing jobs that they carry out on a day-to-day basis, whether it be replacing boilers or simply re sealing a bathtub, these boys can do it all! The Property Store have worked with Watertight Solutions for several years now and everyone in the office is very familiar with the Watertight team. The next time they are out at your property, be sure to say hello!

"They're so professional, worked so so fast and efficiently, never stopped, courteous and communication was great. They also made sure any areas they'd been working on where all tidy and left cleaner than they found it - hall, stairs, landing. I highly recommend them and hope you continue to use their services.

Small details like taking their lunch so my daughter could get down for her nap without the banging. Just little things like that make all the difference. 

They also handled a small issue with a nosey neighbour regarding the pick up of the rubbish with upfront and with respect."

Mhairi & Craig

You might have seen their vans or banners around East Kilbride, RDM and DB are our dependable electricians. You will find them carrying out jobs such as EICR’s (electrical installation condition report) and PAT’s (portable appliance test) to re wiring an entire house to make sure all of the electrics are at peak safety for our lovely tenants!

Ian is our go to guy when it comes to needing someone with a vast skillset, not to mention he’s fast at getting the job done too! 

Martin Reid Décor and J. Prentice Painter

We love making sure that a property is freshly decorated for tenants to move into, it helps give you a blank canvas for adding your own style. That is why we use Martin and Jack as our staple decorators.

My experience with The Property Store, East Kilbride : Right from the beginning of my tenancy The staff at The Property Store have been so helpful and always attended to any issue promptly and efficiently. Every member of Staff I dealt with was highly professional, knew their job inside out and were friendly. I would like to mention Rachel in particular who I dealt with the majority of times. She is excellent at her job and I would not hesitate to recommend The Property Store to anyone looking for reliable Estate Agents.

"I would highly recommend The Property Store, Lorraine and her team are highly professional and efficient. The can-do approach that nothing is too much trouble is exceptional. Managing all our properties remotely was a great help and enabled us to carry on with smooth project running. The team took the stress out of the process but with a personal touch."

  • Simon Brown

"The Property Store was fantastic in finding me a property. They really took such a personal approach to finding me a suitable flat and take great care to ensure its the right fit. The staff are very friendly and will do everything they can to help in anyway they can. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a property."

  • Debbie Fraser

"For some time I had been looking at further property development opportunities on a buy to let basis. As a landlord I had already been working successfully with the Property Store for a number of years and I took the opportunity to discuss this with them. Living remote from East Kilbride and having talked through my requirements it was clear that the most suitable option was for the Property Store to source, develop and let on a fully managed basis.

I have been very impressed with the speed that things have moved particularly how quickly the properties are upgraded and prepared for letting to the point where we have had tenants in advance of completion of works. As a result I have now added three properties in a matter of a few months.

As a remote landlord it is essential that you build confidence in the agents you are dealing with and the team at the Property Store have been excellent to deal with. They are a well-trained motivated team who know what they are doing.

The Property Store utilises the services of a number of key contractors with whom they have has a business relationship for many years. The contractors know the exacting requirements of owner Lorraine Robb and can be trusted to provide competitive quotes as well as completing works to a high standard. The Property Store fully inspect all works and provide regular feedback and are quick to take care of those small details that make all the difference.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Property Store to anyone considering a fully managed service from sourcing to redevelopment to letting."
