  • Putting up company boards/signage
  • Painting walls, doors and small areas as needed
  • Repairing locks, latches, fences and other minor fixtures
  • Basic plumbing tasks such as plunging sinks or checking simple blockages
  • Grounds maintenance: grass cutting, sweeping leaves, litter picking
  • General maintenance, tidying, and any practical tasks that arise
  • Reporting issues that require specialist contractors

Key Skills & Qualifications:

  • Able to work independently and manage your own workload
  • Good problem-solving skills and common sense
  • Basic DIY skills across painting, basic plumbing, simple repairs, and general maintenance
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional when visiting sites
