Who Maintain My Home Is NOT a Good Fit For: The Honest Truth

  • Feb 11
  • 2 min read

At Maintain My Home, we pride ourselves on being the specialists for Central London’s most prestigious apartment buildings. However, the reality is that we aren’t the right solution for every homeowner or every property.


We believe in total transparency. We’d rather tell you now that we aren’t a match than have you discover it after you’ve invested your time and money with us.

We specialize exclusively in the complex systems of modern London apartments on the left of this image, rather than traditional period homes which are on the right.

If any of the following categories describe you, we are likely not the service provider you’re looking for.

1. You Live in a Traditional House or Period Conversion

Our expertise is highly narrow: Modern, high-spec apartment systems. We specialize in the complex infrastructure found in buildings like One Tower Bridge, Battersea Power Station, or the developments of Mayfair and Nine Elms. This includes HIUs (Heat Interface Units), MVHR (ventilation) systems, and integrated cooling.

If you live in a Victorian terrace or a standard semi-detached house with a traditional combi-boiler and radiator setup, a local independent gas engineer will be much more cost-effective for you. We are specialists, and our pricing reflects the specialized training required for complex apartment tech.


2. You Are Looking for the Lowest Possible Price

We are rarely the "cheapest" quote you will receive.

Our service plans are designed for homeowners who view their property as an asset that requires preventative care, rather than a "fix it when it breaks" inconvenience. Our fees cover:

  • Specialist Engineers: Who understand complex HIU and cooling integration.

  • Guaranteed Response Times: Ensuring you aren't left without cooling during a London heatwave.

  • White-Glove Service: We understand the discretion and cleanliness required when working in high-end residences.

If your primary goal is to find the absolute lowest price for a one-off repair, a generalist "man-with-a-van" service is a better fit.

3. You Are a High-Volume Landlord of "Standard" Rentals

If you own a portfolio of budget-friendly rental units across the suburbs, our bespoke maintenance model won't align with your margins.

We work best with landlords of prime London real estate—owners who need a partner they can trust to walk into a multi-million-pound apartment and handle everything without the landlord needing to fly into the country or manage the process.

4. You Want a "Quick Fix" Without Long-Term Protection

We are a Maintenance and Service Plan company. While we do perform repairs, our philosophy is built on the Service Plan model.

We aren't a "emergency-only" plumbing hotline for people who have ignored their systems for five years and now want a miracle. We are for the proactive owner who wants to ensure their Lutron lighting, their underfloor heating, and their cooling systems never fail in the first place.

So, Who ARE We a Perfect Fit For?

If you live in (or own) a high-spec Central London apartment and you want:

  • One point of contact for plumbing, cooling, heating, and electrics.

  • Engineers who actually know what an HIU or an MVHR unit is.

  • Total peace of mind that your home is being maintained to a specialist standard.

...then we might be exactly who you’ve been looking for.
