Birmingham & the West Midlands

Property maintenance,
managed from request
to report.

Bearmend arranges, completes and documents repair jobs for letting agents, block managers and maintenance companies — so nothing sits half-finished, unphotographed or unaccounted for.

Who we work with

Built for people who are accountable for someone else's property.

Letting agents

Stop chasing photos

Send the job once. Get a closed ticket with evidence, not a thread of missed calls.

Block managers

Communal repairs, tracked

One reference per issue, visible status, no chasing leaseholders for updates.

Portfolio landlords

Coverage without a team

Repairs handled end to end without hiring, scheduling or supervising anyone.

Maintenance companies

Local capacity, on demand

Overflow cover across Birmingham and the West Midlands when your own team can't reach it.

Three ways to attend a job

One promise, three routes to the same outcome.

Send us the job. We arrange, complete and document it — whichever of these fits how the work needs to be attended.

01 — Direct Attendance

Direct Maintenance Attendance

A Bearmend contractor attends and completes the work directly — no handoff, no third party to chase.

  • Minor plumbing, taps & bathroom fittings
  • Sanitary sealing & handyman installs
  • Inspections & small reactive jobs
Billed as call-out, hours or fixed price plus materials
02 — Managed Repairs

Managed Repair Coordination

You pass us the job. We scope it, brief the tenant, find the right tradesperson and see it through to a closed, documented file.

  • Scope review & tenant contact
  • Contractor sourcing & access booking
  • Evidence review & completion report
Billed as coordination fee, fixed price or retainer
03 — Overflow Support

Overflow Maintenance Support

Local capacity for maintenance and FM companies when their own team can't reach a job in time.

  • Local rep for Birmingham & the West Midlands
  • Inspection & follow-up visits
  • Standardised job report returned to you
Billed as per-job or ongoing partner rate
How it works

Five steps from a message to a closed job.

01

Send the job

Property, contact, issue and access details — by form, email or WhatsApp.

02

We review scope

We confirm scope, access and budget before anyone is booked in.

03

We arrange attendance

A vetted contractor is assigned and the visit is confirmed.

04

We manage progress

Costs, delays and approvals are handled without needing you on the phone.

05

You get the report

A documented completion report — before, after, and what was done.

    Why Bearmend

    The unglamorous parts of repairs, handled properly.

    One reference, one thread

    Every job gets a single reference and a single point of contact — not a scattered chain of texts and calls.

    Evidence by default

    Before and after photos and a written report are standard on every close-out, not something you have to request.

    Vetted local contractors

    We assign and stand behind the tradesperson — you're not left managing an unfamiliar contact.

    Costs approved, not surprised

    Anything beyond the agreed scope is confirmed with you before work continues.

    Local to the West Midlands

    We know the housing stock, the access patterns and the contractors who actually turn up.

    Software behind the scenes

    Every job runs through the same operational system — nothing depends on memory or a spreadsheet.

    Questions

    Before you send a job

    Do I need a contract to send Bearmend a one-off job?

    No. Individual jobs can be sent and priced on a per-job basis. A retainer or fixed monthly arrangement is available for agents and companies with recurring volume, but it isn't required to get started.

    What happens if a job costs more than the original estimate?

    Any cost beyond the agreed scope is submitted for your approval before the contractor continues. Nothing is invoiced that wasn't confirmed with you first.

    Which areas does Bearmend currently cover?

    Birmingham, Solihull, West Bromwich, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton as core coverage, with other West Midlands areas available by arrangement.

    Can Bearmend cover overflow jobs for our maintenance company?

    Yes. We act as local capacity for maintenance and FM companies that don't have coverage in the West Midlands, on a per-job or ongoing partner basis.
