Home Watch and oversight

A regular presence while you are away.

Our Home Watch service keeps a regular eye on the general condition of your home and picks up anything that would otherwise go unnoticed.

How we work

A visit is not just calling in at the house.

Every check follows the same route and leaves a record: what was looked at, the state it was in and anything that needs attention. That way the information does not depend on whoever happened to go that day, and a small patch of damp is picked up while it is still small.

Report

An account after every visit.

We keep you informed about the state of the house, anything we have found and the next steps we would recommend.
