The Hello Maintenance Advantage: Why Our Platform Beats Going Direct to Your Landlord

You've found your perfect rental home, signed the agreement, and settled in. But then, it happens: a leaky tap, a flickering light, or worse, a cold radiator in the middle of winter. Your first instinct? Contact your landlord or managing agent directly.

For many UK renters, this often leads to a frustrating cycle of unanswered calls, vague promises, and endless waiting. At Hello Maintenance, we believe getting essential repairs done shouldn't be a battle. We've built a tenant-first platform that cuts through the common frustrations, offering a streamlined, effective, and completely free way to ensure your home is safe, healthy, and comfortable.

The Old Way: A Recipe for Frustration

Reporting a repair directly to your landlord or agent often comes with a unique set of challenges:

Common Landlord Tactics That Leave Tenants Frustrated

The "We Never Received Your Complaint" Excuse: Without written proof, it's your word against theirs, leaving you with no legal obligation for them to act.
Deliberate Delays and "Backlog" Tactics: The average repair time in the UK is a staggering 41 days, with 18% of issues never getting fixed at all.
Blaming the Tenant for Disrepair: Landlords sometimes try to shift responsibility, or even charge you for repairs that are legally theirs.
Hiding Behind Managing Agents: You're stuck in a loop where nothing gets fixed.
Lack of Clear Communication Channels: Without a clear system, your repair request can get lost in the shuffle.
Fear of Retaliatory Eviction: This fear can silence legitimate concerns, leaving you living in substandard conditions.
Difficulty Documenting Effectively: Ensuring evidence is timestamped and linked to a formal request can be a hassle.
