Ultramate Property Maintenance Policy

Your property is almost certainly your biggest single investment, but it needs protecting. A single dislodged roof slate can let in the rain, damage the roof timbers, ruin the ceiling, encourage fungal growth ... and so it goes on. Any number of faults can lead to major and costly damage.

Small Monthly Fee

From as little as £3 per week, you can be covered for general maintenance and emergency repairs.

Selling Your House

Just as your car needs regular servicing, care and attention, so does your property. By maintaining your house properly, you maximize its value. By passing on your "Service History" as proof of maintenance, it is less likely that prospective buyers will expect a reduction in price.
