Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance repairs a known defect or restores a component that is not working as required. The problem may have been identified during an inspection, another job or day-to-day property use.
Tell us what needs attention
Define the repair before starting
A sticking door, defective fitting or damaged surface needs more than a general request to make it better. The repair should address the cause and the affected materials, including any associated making good.
We establish which parts of the job are understood and which need inspection. That produces a practical instruction and explains the result the client can expect from the agreed work.
We provide every service in our catalogue, including the individual services within each trade, for all sectors and locations listed on this website. Tell us what your property needs so we can agree the work, access and timing.
A veterinary tub table was draining slowly and backing up because its waste outlet was too high. Black & White Property Services rerouted the waste connection at a lower level to provide the necessary fall. Testing recorded free-flowing drainage without further leakage or backing up. Tub-table drainage repair at a Gateshead veterinary site.
Failed circulation pumps and non-return valve problems affected heat distribution at a Newcastle building. Black & White Property Services replaced two pumps, cleaned and refitted the existing valves, then refilled, vented, balanced and tested the affected circuits. Heating circulation was restored without unnecessary valve replacement. Heating circulation restored to affected Newcastle building zones.
Who this is for

Property care / The working briefWhat the service covers
We establish the repair requirement, agree materials and access, complete the instructed work and explain the result. Scope can include removal, replacement, adjustment and making good, with their boundaries recorded before delivery.
Typical activities
Correcting damaged fixtures, replacing defective components, adjusting doors or fittings and repairing identified building defects are typical tasks. Connected finishes and the condition of the supporting area are considered when defining the job.
How the work proceeds
Share the defect description or report. We confirm the location and required outcome, inspect where needed, agree the repair and carry it out. Changes discovered during work are explained to the person authorised to approve them.
Access and preparation
Identify occupied rooms, access contacts and any restrictions on noise or disruption. Supply previous reports and photographs where available. Agree finish choices, protection and movement of belongings so the repair can be completed in the intended area.
Responsibility and safety
We take responsibility for the agreed work. Owners or managing agents confirm permission and the relevant occupant arrangements. Appropriate trades assess technical issues; HSE maintenance guidance explains the importance of competent, safely planned work on equipment.
Priorities and response
We establish the effect of the defect on safe and normal property use. A repair list is prioritised by those consequences and the access available. Urgent conditions are addressed through the appropriate response route before routine finishing work.
Property and repair records
The record identifies the original defect, repair location, work carried out and any remaining issue. For managed properties, clear references allow the owner to match the work to the inspection or tenant report.
What affects the price?
Materials, size of the affected area, matching finishes, concealed damage and specialist testing affect the scope. Several repairs may share preparation, but each still needs a defined outcome. We explain additional requirements before agreeing changes.
Completion and follow-up
The handover explains the repaired condition and any remaining drying, decoration, testing or monitoring. Where work leads to another trade, the next action is identified. A temporary measure is recorded distinctly from the permanent repair.
Outcomes and our approach
You receive a repair that addresses the agreed defect and a clear account of the result. We consider the affected areas and finishes together so the job does not stop at replacing one component while leaving the surrounding work undefined.
Sectors and property uses
Residential block management needs shared-element boundaries clear. Offices and retail premises need work planned around occupation and trading. Explore the wider service and project range across all sectors.

Guides and useful reading
Frequently asked questions
Can you work from a property inspection report?
Yes. Share the findings and photographs. We check that the repair requirement is clear and identify any further assessment needed before agreeing the work.
Does the repair include matching existing finishes?
Agree the finish requirement in the brief. Availability and the condition of neighbouring materials affect the options; these are discussed before specifying making good.
Can several small defects form one job?
Yes. A clear list with locations helps combine compatible work while showing which repairs and materials are included.
What if repair reveals another problem?
We explain the new finding and how it affects the work. The additional scope and decision are recorded rather than assumed to form part of the original price.
