Why Working with Hello Maintenance Means More Jobs, Less Hassle

How Job Desk transforms property maintenance work for UK contractors

Contractor working on property maintenance

📉 Tired of Ghost Clients, Chasing Invoices, and Last-Minute Cancellations?

If you're a contractor working in UK property maintenance, chances are you've faced at least one of these:

"Can you do it for exposure?"
"We'll send the payment next week..." (spoiler: they won't)
Jobs cancelled last minute after you've blocked off your whole afternoon
Tenants who refuse access or don't answer the door
Agents who don't know the difference between urgent and non-urgent

You got into this to work with your hands, not chase paperwork and babysit clients. That's where Hello Maintenance flips the script via job-desk.co.uk

🔄 We Took the Chaos Out of Contracting

We know the industry's broken:

Good contractors are undervalued
Work comes in waves, not consistency
Payments are often late
Access is a nightmare
Agents rarely provide proper diagnostics

Job Desk was built to fix that. We're not another "job lead app" that takes 20% and disappears. We're a contractor-first, maintenance partner that brings you:

✅ Pre-qualified jobs
✅ Full diagnostic info
✅ Scheduled access
✅ Guaranteed payment
✅ A team that actually backs you

📦 What You Get When You Join Our Contractor Network

Here's what a "typical" job looks like with Job Desk part of the FiXiFi.Ai Network same as Hello Maintenance.

✅ 1. Full Issue Breakdown, No Guesswork

Every job request includes:

Tenant-provided photos and videos
Basic fault diagnosis from our AI-powered system
Notes from our 24/7 triage team
Priority level (Emergency / Urgent / Routine)
Tenant access hours already confirmed
Property manager contact (if needed)

You know what you're walking into and how serious it is before you accept the job.

✅ 2. Scheduled Access, No More No-Shows

We handle all tenant coordination upfront. You only get assigned jobs where:

✔️ Tenant has confirmed availability
✔️ Access is pre-approved
✔️ Keys and codes (if needed) are sorted

And if something goes wrong? We chase the tenant not you.

✅ 3. You Set Your Rates

We don't lowball or squeeze contractors. You quote your rates. We approve fast.

Want to offer flat rates for common repairs? Cool. Prefer hourly? We work with that too. We're not here to haggle we're here to fill your calendar.

✅ 4. Get Paid. Promptly. Every Time.

No more chasing invoices or sending awkward reminders. Once the job's done:

We send confirmation to the agent/landlord
You upload your invoice
We track payment due dates
Our system automates reminders and escalations

You get paid on time, no stress. And if someone tries to delay? We chase them on your behalf.

✅ 5. Support That Actually Shows Up

Ever had a job where:

The boiler's ancient and has no label?
There's a leak but you can't find the source?
The electrics trip halfway through?

Our contractor support team is just a call away:

We'll get you backup info
Arrange further diagnostics
Authorise emergency follow-ups
Keep the agent/landlord looped in
Handle the legal reporting if needed

You're never left hanging.

Real Work, Not Endless Bidding

We're not Checkatrade or MyBuilder. You don't have to:

Fight 10 other plumbers for the same £40 job
Pay £7 just to message a lead
Wait 2 days for an agent to respond
Do work without knowing if you'll get paid

If you're in our network, you get real jobs with real people who respect your time and craft.

"I used to spend more time chasing quotes than doing actual work. Hello Maintenance gives me clean jobs, easy access, and fast payment. It's the only reason I didn't quit the trade last year."
