Tailored Approach

Whether for an established Barr Build client or as a standalone offering, our full-service capability is tailored to individual needs and delivered through one trusted point of contact.  

A responsive and adaptable approach to every commission is central to our practice. Whether tailoring our Aftercare and Maintenance offering for an existing client or developing a holistic understanding of a new property’s systems and structural requirements, the same high standards of professionalism are applied, combined with the expertise to ensure the best possible long-term property care.  

For existing Barr Build clients, once works are completed or after their defect period has come to an end, our Aftercare and Maintenance Manager is available to discuss ongoing property maintenance requirements.  

For clients new to Barr Build, rigorous property assessment, together with a full understanding of our clients' lifestyle and logistical requirements, allows us to produce an advisory report and a considered long-term maintenance proposal.

“We are only in residence in our UK home for part of the year. It’s a great feeling to know that our property is being well looked after in our absence.”

Client, Pete F. Marlow

In focus

The premise behind the Barr Build Aftercare and Maintenance service is to offer a fully managed professional service; prioritising efficiency, discretion and reliability. There is no ‘one- size-fits-all’ approach. Knowing each property and each client enables a personalised, adaptable offering. 

Systems optimisation

Ongoing fine tuning of all systems (mechanical and electrical) keeps the property running at maximum efficacy, ensuring the lowest possible running costs and optimum comfort.  


Privacy and security

Specific processes and procedures, relating to access and discretion, are built into every contract. The team have experience of working under strict NDAs. Where required, all third parties are escorted on and off the property.  


Certification

All work requiring specialist certification is carried out by trusted Barr Build partners. Guarantees and warranties are kept up to date, in-line with insurance requirements.  


Minor construction works

Where formal plans and planning permissions are not required, access to the full Barr Build capability enables accurate quoting, rapid commencement, efficient execution and timely completion of any minor extensions, alterations, internal re-modelling works.


Listed buildings repair

In accordance with Historic England guidelines and respecting Listed Buildings consent requirements, our knowledgeable and highly trained team can advise and carry out specialist repair works, with trusted third-party heritage buildings specialists available to provide expert guidance where required.    

Peace of mind

Proactive and preventative

Through regular maintenance and early identification of new issues, we minimise the need for major repair works, significantly reducing long-term costs.


Emergency call-out

Clients can access fast, efficient emergency assistance, either through online reporting or directly contacting their dedicated point of contact.


Asset protection

Each plan is designed to protect and enhance properties, whether preparing for resale, the rental market, or protecting for future generations.


Vacant property monitoring

Through care and protection, we can mitigate or minimise potential issues, with regular planned visits ensuring insurance policy compliance.
