Great experience as a tenant. Felt comfortable with Tim coming in to our home and explaining clearly what his job was on the day. The notice given via email was very helpful so the visit didn’t catch us off guard.
Thank you

The service was conducted thoroughly, efficiently and so fast! Serviceman was really friendly and knowledgeable, and understood that the alarm testing sound was a little triggering to my 3 year old. Highly recommend!

Serviceman provided quick repalcemnt of alarm units.
Response time slow following initial reports of concern and no follow up made, I had to escalate to real estate before action made.
Challenging position as service not local to my property.
All communication has been friendly and informative.

Very accommodating service. We unfortunately forgot to make sure our dog was put away when our first visit was booked, but the staff member who attended was incredibly understanding and allowed us to reschedule for an alternative time that suited us. When he attended the property today, he was very friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!
