Landlord Property Maintenance in Peterborough — One Company, All Trades

Managing rental properties in Peterborough is complicated enough without having to maintain separate relationships with a plumber, electrician, gas engineer, roofer, and drainage company. When something breaks — and in rental properties, things always break — you need someone reliable, qualified, and fast. Using multiple companies increases the coordination burden, creates gaps in accountability, and makes it harder to track maintenance history across your portfolio.

JDNA LTD is one of the few companies in Peterborough that genuinely covers all trades under one roof, with two registered limited companies (JDNA LTD and JDNA Construction LTD) providing plumbing, heating, Gas Safe work, electrical (NICEIC approved), drainage, roofing, and bathroom and kitchen fitting across Peterborough and surrounding areas.

What Peterborough Landlords Need From a Maintenance Company

Reliability is the number one requirement. When a tenant calls to report no heating in January, a landlord needs an engineer who answers the phone, gives an honest ETA, and shows up. JDNA LTD’s 4-hour emergency response target across Peterborough means we take that obligation seriously.

Compliance is the second requirement — and it is non-negotiable. Peterborough landlords must hold a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) for every property with a gas supply, obtained annually from a Gas Safe registered engineer. They must hold a valid EICR from a qualified electrician for every rented property, renewed every 5 years. JDNA LTD can manage all of these compliance requirements across your portfolio.

Documentation matters too. When a tenant reports a maintenance issue, you need a clear record of what was reported, when an engineer attended, what was found, what was done, and the cost. JDNA LTD provides written job reports and certificates for all compliance-related work, giving you the paper trail you need for tenancy disputes, insurance claims, and local authority enquiries.

The Compliance Checklist for Peterborough Landlords

Every Peterborough landlord renting a property with a gas supply must have: an annual Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) from a Gas Safe registered engineer, renewed every 12 months without exception. Every Peterborough landlord renting any residential property must have: a valid EICR from a qualified electrician, carried out every 5 years, with copies provided to tenants.

Additional recommended compliance checks include: an annual boiler service to maintain the boiler warranty and ensure safe and efficient operation; smoke and carbon monoxide alarms fitted and tested — carbon monoxide alarms are legally required in rooms with a solid fuel appliance and are strongly recommended in any room with a gas appliance; legionella risk assessment for any property with a hot water storage system; and periodic condition checks on drainage, gutters, and roofing, particularly before winter.

JDNA LTD can put together a scheduled compliance programme for your Peterborough portfolio, coordinating access with tenants and providing all necessary documentation. For landlords with 3 or more properties, this takes most of the compliance administration burden off your hands.

Emergency Response for Peterborough Landlords

When a tenant calls at 9pm to report no heating, a landlord’s first call should result in an engineer, not an answering machine. JDNA LTD offers emergency response across Peterborough for all trade emergencies — burst pipes, boiler breakdowns, electrical failures, and roof damage — with a target response within 4 hours.

For landlords using us regularly, we prioritise your calls. We know your properties, we know the boiler models installed, and we maintain records of previous work, which means repeat visits are more efficient. We also carry a wide range of spares on our vans for the most common boiler makes — Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, and Baxi — reducing the frequency of return visits for parts.

Why Local Matters for Peterborough Landlords

National property maintenance franchises can look appealing on paper — a single number to call, a brand name. In practice, their engineers are often subcontracted, response times vary, and accountability when things go wrong is difficult. JDNA LTD is a local Peterborough business with two registered companies, a verified five-star Google rating across 165+ reviews, Gas Safe and NICEIC accreditation, and engineers who live and work in the city they serve.

When something goes wrong with your Peterborough rental property, you want the person answering the phone to know the area, to be accountable, and to be there quickly. That is what we offer — and why landlords across Peterborough continue to call us year after year.
