// For property maintenance contractors

Repairs, voids and planned work, with the proof built in.

Housing providers and property managers want every job evidenced: who attended, when, what was found and what was fixed. DuoApp gives your operatives one app for jobs, photos, sign-offs and hours, and gives your office and your clients the evidence without chasing anyone.

// Sound familiar?

The repair takes an hour. Proving it takes a week.

Maintenance contracts are won on price and kept on evidence. These are the problems repairs and maintenance contractors tell us about most.

Jobs arrive faster than you can track them

Emails, portal downloads and phone calls from clients, copied onto a whiteboard or a spreadsheet that's out of date by mid-morning.

Evidence the client keeps asking for

Housing providers want before-and-after photos, attendance times and sign-offs - especially on damp, mould and safety work with strict timescales.

Voids that drag on

Every day a void sits empty costs your client rent. Knowing which trades are done and what's left is a round of phone calls.

Planned work forgotten

Gutter clears, communal checks and annual servicing live in someone's head until a client complains they were missed.

Operatives' tickets and cards

Gas Safe, CSCS, asbestos awareness and DBS for occupied homes - expired without anyone noticing until a client audit.

Paperwork to get paid

Job sheets come back late, illegible or not at all, so completed work sits unbilled for weeks.

// How DuoApp helps

Built around how maintenance teams work.

Everything below is included in the same £10 per user, for operatives, supervisors, office staff and client contacts alike.

Every property, job and void in one view

Organise work by contract, block and property, assign it to an operative or a team, and complete dozens of tasks at once. Planned and cyclical work repeats on its own at any interval.

  • Jobs by contract, block and property
  • Recurring tasks for cyclical and planned work
  • Overdue work stands out

Before-and-after photos and sign-offs

Checklists for each job type, with photos, notes and a signature at each stage. Every completion is timestamped and stored against the property, with a full audit trail.

  • Photos and signatures on every job
  • Pass / fail / N/A checks
  • Works offline and syncs later
More on Quality Control →

Give your client the evidence directly

Add housing officers and property managers as users who see only their own properties - jobs, photos and sign-offs, never your costs. Same flat £10, no separate portal.

  • Access set per role and per contract
  • Clients never see your rates
  • Fewer "can you send me the photos?" emails
More on Permissions →

Attendance you can prove

Operatives clock in and out on their phone, optionally checked against the property's location at that moment, so arrival and completion times are on record.

  • Optional geofenced clock-in
  • Live who's-on-site list
  • Attendance reports per job
More on Site Attendance →

Tickets and DBS under control

Store Gas Safe, CSCS, asbestos awareness, DBS and insurance against each operative. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.

  • Expiry warnings for every ticket
  • Approval inbox for new documents
  • Ready for client audits
More on Document Compliance →

Landlord certificates that renew themselves

CP12 gas safety records, EICRs, PAT records and fire safety equipment logs from ready-made templates, filled in and signed on site. Recurring documents come round again with reminders, and the branded PDF can be emailed to the client from DuoApp.

  • CP12 yearly, EICR every 5 years
  • Only qualified people can sign
  • PDF emailed with a sent log
More on Compliance & Certificates →

Bill the way your contract pays

Fixed prices per job, split labour and materials, or your own subcontractors with staged claims - so completed work turns into an invoice instead of a pile of job sheets.

  • Fixed price per job or property
  • Labour and materials split
  • Subcontractors managed properly
More on Priced & Sub Works →

Recalls and defects

Log recalls and defects, schedule the return visit and sign it off with photos, so warranty work is tracked rather than argued about.

  • Triage and schedule recalls
  • Sign-off with photos
  • Full history per property
More on Aftercare →

Hours that match the jobs

Hours are captured against the job as the work happens, giving you labour cost per job and payroll without the Friday chase.

  • Hours captured against the job
  • Labour cost per job
  • One-place approval

// Property maintenance FAQs

Questions property maintenance contractors ask us.

Is DuoApp suitable for a small maintenance contractor?
Yes. You pay £10 per user, per month, so a team of six costs £60 a month with every feature included. You can add and remove people as your team changes and you're billed pro-rata.
Can our housing or property clients see the work?
Yes. Client contacts can be added as users who see only their own properties - jobs, photos and sign-offs - without seeing your costs. They're the same £10 per user, with no separate portal to buy.
Can DuoApp take jobs straight from our clients' systems?
Not automatically at the moment. Jobs are added in DuoApp by your office team. Once a job is in, everything from assignment to photo evidence and sign-off happens in the app.
Does it handle planned and cyclical maintenance?
Yes. Any task can repeat every week, month, quarter, year or at a custom interval. The next one appears when the last is completed, or a set number of days before it's due.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. Sign-offs and photos work offline and sync when signal returns, which matters in basements, plant rooms and older blocks.
How much does it cost and is there a free trial?
£10 per user, per month plus VAT, with every feature included. There's a 14-day free trial of the full platform, and you can cancel any time from the billing screen.
