Experts in Property Maintenance in London and the Home Counties Since 1971

Keeping a property well maintained is one of the most effective ways to prevent damp, water ingress and costly structural repairs. Tapco HomeDry provides expert property maintenance for homeowners, landlords, estate agents and commercial property owners across London, Surrey, Kent and the Home Counties.

Our property maintenance services

Unlike general builders, our team specialises in repairs that prevent damp and protect the long-term condition of your property. Our services include:

Roofs

Roof repairs and maintenance, flat roof repairs and replacement, and flashings.

Rainwater goods

Gutter and downpipe repairs and replacement, and drainage repairs.

Walls

Brickwork repairs and repointing, external render repairs and cavity wall tie replacement.

We also carry out general building maintenance and the making good that follows damp, timber and waterproofing work.

Why property maintenance matters

Small defects quickly become expensive problems if they are left. Damaged gutters, cracked render, failed pointing and blocked drains all let water into the fabric of a building, leading to penetrating damp, timber decay and, eventually, structural damage. Dealing with them early protects your property, your tenants and your investment.

  • Damp and water ingress prevention. Keeping water out at source is the most effective damp treatment there is.
  • Structural integrity. Sound brickwork, ties and lintels keep walls stable.
  • Lower long-term costs. Regular maintenance is far cheaper than major remedial work.

Experienced and accountable

With more than 55 years of experience, our surveyors and technicians carry out repairs to a high standard, whether you need a one-off repair or ongoing maintenance across a portfolio. As one client said after a re-roofing project, the work was completed “within budget and quote”.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work for landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We carry out maintenance and repairs for homeowners, landlords, estate agents and commercial property owners, from one-off jobs to ongoing maintenance.

Why use a damp specialist for maintenance?

Because we understand how water gets into buildings. Our repairs focus on stopping moisture ingress, protecting the structure and preventing damp and timber decay, not just making things look tidy.

Client testimonials

The teams were polite, helpful, and efficient at all works involved. We had a significant amount of plaster taken off the walls and the team did all they could to keep the dust down, even putting up a clever improvised air lock in place to protect the kitchen/food prep area. Following payment, the paperwork and guarantees were forwarded almost immediately.
