Bulk booking discounts

For portfolios booking recurring visits across multiple sites, we can discuss volume-based efficiencies within a single contract. Tell us your site count, typical sizes, and visit frequency, and we’ll propose a consolidated plan.

How we work with block managers and landlords

  • Communal areas first: entrances, walkways, car parks, and shared lawns kept tidy to reduce slip and trip risks.
  • Resident-friendly: mindful scheduling and clean-as-we-go practices to minimise disruption.
  • Visibility and care: regular inspections during visits with proactive notes on hazards, pests, or damage.

Common packages include fortnightly grounds maintenance in growing season and monthly winter visits, plus ad hoc callouts for storms or move-ins.

Support for letting agents

  • Pre-tenancy tidy: quick turnarounds to make photos and viewings shine.
  • Void period works: deep clearances, hedge reductions, and lawn reinstatement.
  • Managed tenancies: fixed-frequency maintenance with check-in notes for your property managers.

We can coordinate access with your keysafe procedures and provide date-stamped photos for your records.

Commercial clients and facilities managers

  • Business parks, retail frontages, and staff courtyards kept presentable and safe.
  • Car park vegetation control, signage clearance, and perimeter hedge lines.
  • Out-of-hours or early arrival windows where access patterns require it.

If you oversee multiple locations, we’ll roll them into one contract with consolidated reporting and invoicing.

Compliance, safety, and insurance

  • Risk assessments and method statements available for routine and specialist tasks.
  • Public liability cover appropriate for Gardening & Grounds Maintenance activities.
  • Equipment maintained and suitable for site conditions; battery tools used where noise control is preferred.
  • COSHH data sheets for any products we bring on site.
  • Site-specific inductions followed; visitor logs and permits observed.

What to expect at onboarding

  1. Discovery call
    Share your sites, pain points, and any SLAs you need us to align to. If you have existing specs, send them over.

  2. Site survey
    We visit representative sites (or all, if required). Photos and notes captured for tasks, hazards, access, and waste routes.

  3. Proposal and schedule
    You’ll receive a clear plan outlining frequencies, inclusions, optional extras, and pricing structure. We can quote on photos for straightforward sites; complex grounds may need a visit.

  4. Mobilisation
    We prepare site sheets, agree start dates, and brief the team. On day one, we confirm attendance and first-visit outcomes with photos.
