Property Maintenance

Job Title: Part-Time Property Maintenance Handyman – Self-Employed (Own Van & Tools) – Luton & Dunstable

Pay: £20.00 per hour
Job Type: Part-time, Self-employed
Location: Luton & Dunstable (on-site across our properties)

About Us
We are an established property company with a portfolio of 50 residential units across Luton and Dunstable. We take pride in keeping our properties to a high standard and giving our tenants a fast, reliable and professional maintenance service.

The Role
We are looking for an experienced, reliable handyman to take care of the day-to-day maintenance and repairs across our portfolio. You'll be the person our tenants see when something needs fixing, so a professional, friendly manner is just as important as the quality of your work.

Typical work includes reactive repairs, planned maintenance, and refreshing units between tenancies.

What We're Looking For
Experience across a range of trades, including:

• Carpentry (doors, locks, fittings, repairs)
• Plumbing (leaks, taps, toilets, basic fault finding)
• Basic electrical work (within your competence and regulations)
• Plastering and patch repairs
• Tiling (floors and walls)
• Painting and decorating
• Floor installation (carpet and lino)
• Kitchen and bathroom installation and repair

You will also have:

• A minimum of 5 years' property maintenance experience
• Your own van (essential, not a car) and a full set of your own tools
• A full UK driving licence
• Experience working in occupied homes, with respect for tenants and their property
• A high standard of finish and attention to detail
• The ability to diagnose problems, work independently and use your initiative
• Good communication and timekeeping
• Public liability insurance (preferred)

Formal qualifications are useful but not essential. We value proven experience over paperwork. A CSCS card is an advantage but not required.

Working Arrangements

• Part-time, with days agreed to suit both parties
• Working window of 9:30am – 5:30pm, Monday to Friday
• Self-employed, £20 per hour
• Hours are recorded via our clock-in system and paid monthly on invoice
• Performance bonus available

What We Offer

• Steady, ongoing work across a compact portfolio in Luton and Dunstable
• Clear, fair hourly rate with hours accurately tracked
• Straightforward, supportive management
• Long-term opportunity for the right person
