- Diagnose and complete minor electrical repairs such as replacing sockets, switches, light fittings, and other non-specialist electrical maintenance (where competent and permitted).
- Repair or replace damaged flooring, tiles, silicone seals, and general finishes.
- Respond promptly to maintenance requests and emergency call-outs when required.
- Inspect vacant and occupied properties, identifying maintenance issues and completing repairs efficiently.
