Why we’ve changed the way property maintenance is done

We’re Changing the way home repairs and maintenance are done

This is why we’ve introduced a fixed fee repair and maintenance service to your most important asset. Here’s how it works:

  1. You book us we get in and start investigating and fixing what we can.

  2. We fix problems before they turn into major issues, saving you money on bigger and potentially more costly repairs down the track. 

  3. We inspect your home thoroughly, create a detailed home maintenance manual — kind of like your car’s logbook — and highlight maintenance items critical to safety and the longevity of your home.  

  4. We then create a service plan, prioritising urgent repairs, and develop a schedule for ongoing maintenance. 

Contractors often find it hard to provide quotes for several reasons: they're too busy, the problem and solution aren't always obvious, the job may require multiple types of contractors, the project could be too big or complex to assess quickly, and safe access might need to be set up, which takes time and effort.

Our half and full-day services help save you money because we do everything in one go, including such things as checking your AC and cleaning the filter, plumbing and electrics, landscaping, cleaning gutters and roof repairs.  

Helping create value

What happens when you get your car serviced? Maintenance adds value to a home, just like it adds value to a car — even more so, because your car depreciates whereas your house appreciates over time. If you decide to sell your home and show a maintenance plan you can add value to the sale price. Buyers want certainty. A building and pest inspection is limited in what it tells you. It’s only what the inspector sees at a point in time. A lot of the notes in a building and pest inspection report say things like, “There might be a problem here or there”.


Ballast Point has built, renovated and restored many homes in the Inner West, and we understand modern properties are complex. Using our accumulated knowledge, we will help you maintain your biggest investment and take the worry out of property maintenance.
