Property Maintenance in Romford & Surrounding Areas
A neighbour of mine in Romford once said, “I only notice the boiler, the fence, or the bathroom tiles when something goes wrong.” That’s the thing about property maintenance—it’s usually invisible until it isn’t. Whether you own your family home, rent out a flat, or manage a block of apartments, little problems build up quietly in the background. A dripping tap, cracked plaster, or a broken lock—it all adds up.
At Complete Maintenance Essex Ltd, that’s where we come in. We’re a Romford-based business, working across Havering and beyond. You’ll often see our vans around Romford Market, near Queen’s Hospital, and across the estates in Harold Hill. We handle everything from small handyman fixes to full refurbishments, keeping properties safe, tidy, and comfortable.

Why Property Maintenance Matters in Romford
Romford and the surrounding neighbourhoods are a mix of old and new housing.
Victorian terraces near Romford Station often need constant upkeep, like repointing brickwork or sorting draughty windows.
Post-war homes around Collier Row and Gidea Park bring their own challenges—think leaky roofs or worn floors.
Flats and newer developments across Elm Park or Harold Hill often call us about recurring issues like faulty extractor fans or broken fixtures.
One homeowner in Upminster called us about a “small drip” under the kitchen sink. By the time we arrived, water had seeped into the cupboards and spread to the skirting. Catching things early is always easier than waiting until damage spreads—that’s the value of regular property maintenance.
Our property maintenance services
General property maintenance
General property maintenance is the bread and butter of what we do. Around Romford and areas like Elm Park, Chadwell Heath, and Hornchurch, we’re often called for:
Fixing doors, locks, and handles
Repairing plaster and touching up paintwork
Sorting small leaks before they become floods
Replacing cracked tiles or worn flooring
Keeping communal areas tidy and safe
I once helped a family in Gidea Park who thought their leaky radiator was “no big deal.” A week later, it had ruined part of their living room floor. After sorting the repair, they asked us to check the whole heating system for peace of mind. That’s the thing—small repairs save money in the long run.
Refurbishments and Voids
When tenants move out, landlords often need a quick turnaround. We handle void refurbishments across Romford, Collier Row, and Harold Hill, making sure properties are clean, safe, and ready to re-let.
For example, a landlord in Chadwell Heath asked us to refresh a two-bed flat. We repainted every room, swapped carpets for laminate flooring, and updated the bathroom. The flat was back on the market in under two weeks.
Homeowners also call us for refurbishments—whether it’s updating a dated kitchen in Upminster or giving a tired bathroom in Elm Park a modern look. Big or small, refurbishments add value and make a place feel fresh again.
Handyman Services
Sometimes you just need a reliable pair of hands for those odd jobs. In Romford and the surrounding areas, our handyman services cover:
Hanging shelves and curtain rails
Putting together flat-pack furniture
Mounting TVs securely
Fixing squeaky floorboards or loose banisters
Small repairs around kitchens and bathrooms
A customer in Hornchurch once laughed and said, “I kept meaning to fix the curtain pole myself for three months. You had it done in fifteen minutes.” That’s the point of a handyman—you get your free time back without stressing over DIY.
