What we arrange

Twelve services.
One point of contact.

From an emergency lockout at midnight to a full kitchen refurbishment and every certificate a landlord is legally required to hold.

All services

Complete transparency

We are an agent.
Here is exactly
what that means.

FlatFix365 does not turn up with a toolbox. We are the layer that finds the right person, checks they are genuinely qualified, and makes sure the job is booked, done and documented.

  • We introduce you to independent, vetted trades - the work contract is between you and them.
  • They invoice you directly and carry their own public liability insurance.
  • We are paid a referral fee by the trade - never by you, and it never inflates your quote.
  • We match on trade, certification and availability, not on who pays us most.
  • Legal matters go to SRA-regulated solicitors who advise you directly. We give no legal advice.

More about how we work

Why use an agent at all?

Because sourcing trades yourself means chasing five quotes, verifying five sets of credentials and sequencing five diaries - then storing the certificates somewhere you will actually find them in two years.

On your own

Five phone calls, unverified credentials, no single accountability, certificates in an inbox somewhere.

With FlatFix365

One enquiry, credentials pre-checked, one coordinator, every certificate held and renewal flagged before it lapses.

The process

Four steps, ninety seconds to start

No account to create, no obligation, and nothing chargeable until you accept a written price.

Use the enquiry form or the on-site assistant. Send photos if it helps. It takes about ninety seconds and there is no obligation.

02

We match a vetted trade

We select from our Manchester network based on the trade required, the certification needed and current availability - not on who pays us most.

03

You get a fixed quote

The trade confirms scope, price and timing in writing before anything is booked. You compare it and decide. Nothing is chargeable until you accept.

04

Work is done and documented

The job is completed to schedule and you receive the certificates, photo reports and waste transfer notes that prove it, stored against your property.

UK compliance, Manchester specific

Every certificate
a landlord must hold

Gas, electrical, energy, water and fire duties in England carry real penalties - up to 30,000 pounds for electrical breaches and criminal prosecution for gas. We arrange the lot and remind you before anything expires.

Full guide

A valid EPC must be commissioned before marketing and given to the tenant. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards a property in England and Wales generally cannot be let with a rating of F or G unless a valid exemption is registered on the PRS Exemptions Register.

Who can certify itAccredited Domestic Energy Assessor
If you get it wrongCivil penalties commonly in the region of 500 to 5,000 pounds per breach, with higher amounts for continuing MEES breaches.

Every gas appliance, flue and pipework installation in a let property must be checked annually. The record must be given to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to new tenants at the start of the tenancy, and kept for at least two years.

Who can certify itGas Safe registered engineer
If you get it wrongA criminal offence. Prosecution can bring unlimited fines and, in serious cases, imprisonment.

The fixed electrical installation must be inspected and tested at least every five years and at the start of a new tenancy where the report has expired. A copy goes to tenants within 28 days and to the local authority on request. Any C1, C2 or FI coded issue must be remedied within 28 days or sooner if the report specifies.

Who can certify itQualified and competent person, typically NICEIC or NAPIT registered
If you get it wrongLocal housing authorities may impose financial penalties of up to 30,000 pounds per breach.

Landlords have a duty to assess and control the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria in the water system. For most modern apartments this is a straightforward written assessment with simple control measures such as flushing after voids and checking stored water temperatures.

Who can certify itCompetent risk assessor
If you get it wrongEnforcement action under health and safety law, including improvement notices and prosecution.

At least one smoke alarm is required on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing a fixed combustion appliance other than a gas cooker. Alarms must be repaired or replaced once a fault is reported.

Who can certify itLandlord duty, installation by a competent trade
If you get it wrongLocal authority remedial notice and a financial penalty of up to 5,000 pounds.

There is no fixed legal interval, but any electrical appliance you supply with the property must be safe. Testing and recording appliances between tenancies is the accepted way to evidence that duty, and is a licence condition for many HMOs.

Who can certify itCompetent person, often the same electrician as your EICR
If you get it wrongLiability for injury and invalidated insurance, plus enforcement under health and safety law.

Not sure where you stand? A compliance check audits your whole position against current English lettings law and returns a traffic-light report, with anything missing arranged for you. Guidance here is general information and not legal advice - always confirm with Manchester City Council or a qualified professional.

Why landlords stay with us

Built for people who
cannot be there

Most of our clients are not in Manchester on a Tuesday afternoon. We are.

Every credential verified

Gas Safe, NICEIC or NAPIT registration, public liability insurance and DBS status are checked before a trade joins the network and re-checked at renewal.

One point of contact

A kitchen refit can involve five trades. You deal with us once and we sequence the rest, so nothing waits on someone else turning up.

Compliance tracked, not assumed

We hold your certificate expiry dates and prompt you before they lapse, so a missed CP12 never becomes an unenforceable section 21.

Built for Manchester apartments

Lift bookings, concierge access, restricted parking and block managers - our trades work in city centre developments every week.

No obligation, no lock-in

Quotes are free and you are never tied to a contract. If the price is not right, walk away.

Documented every time

Certificates, photo reports and waste transfer notes are issued as standard, because evidence is what protects you in a dispute.

Coverage

Manchester city centre
and all ten boroughs

Our trades work in city centre developments every week, so lift bookings, concierge access, restricted parking and block managers are routine rather than a problem. Just outside the boundary? Ask anyway.

Straight answers

Frequently asked

No. FlatFix365 is an agent and introducer. We maintain a vetted network of independent Manchester trades and specialists, match your job to the right one, and coordinate the schedule. The contract for the work itself is between you and the trade or firm we introduce you to, and they invoice you directly.

Enquiring, being matched and receiving quotes is free to you. We are paid a referral or coordination fee by the trades in our network. That fee never changes the price you are quoted, and we do not rank trades by what they pay us.

Before joining we check identity and trading history, public liability insurance, and the registrations relevant to the trade - Gas Safe for gas work, NICEIC or NAPIT for electrical, Environment Agency waste carrier registration for clearances, SRA regulation for legal work, and accreditation for energy assessors. DBS checks are required where trades attend occupied homes. Registrations are re-checked when they expire.

For a typical private rented flat in England you will need a valid EPC of at least band E, an annual gas safety record if there is any gas, an EICR renewed at least every five years, working smoke alarms on each storey, a carbon monoxide alarm where there is a fixed combustion appliance, and a Legionella risk assessment. Licensable HMOs and buildings with communal areas carry further fire safety duties. Our compliance check confirms your exact position.

For lockouts, escaping water and total loss of power or heating we aim to have a trade with you within two to four hours in Greater Manchester, and locksmiths typically within thirty to ninety minutes. Attendance depends on trade availability at the time, and we tell you honestly if we cannot meet that.

Yes. We work with individual landlords, accidental landlords, letting and managing agents, block and build-to-rent managers, and owner-occupiers. Portfolio clients get consolidated certificate tracking across all their units.

Every trade on the network carries their own public liability insurance, which we verify and re-check at renewal. Because the work contract is with the trade, their policy is the one that covers the work, and we will confirm the cover in place before you book.
