Home Management Company?

[barry1010]

Does such a thing exist? My relative suffers from extreme anxiety and the smallest thing overwhelms her. She owns her own house and wants a 'big name company' that she can trust to handle not just big emergency repairs but scheduled jobs such as decorating, routine maintenance.
She worries about strangers in her home, being ripped off, bad workmanship but also about her house going to wrack and ruin if she doesn't maintain it.
Ideally, she would like to be able to phone a company, tell them what she wants doing and the appropriate trades people be assigned to visit, give a quote and do the job. She wants the 'management company' to be responsible if things go wrong.
She is not worried about the extra cost which she considers worth it for peace of mind. She wants a company to watch her back, basically.
Does such a thing exist?

Try Googling "Managing Agents" if you haven't already tried that.

We weren’t a well known brand etc but we did have nearly 5000 clients lol. Big enough ? You can see why it got to be too much to manage whilst husb was ill.

All it took Was an organised team (my husb n I) and a handful of super amazing reliable contractors

I would not touch homeserve with someone else's bargepole. They weren't helpful to my mother (London) and were the only company who caused me trouble when my husband died. All I wanted to do was to change the monthly payment from his account, which was frozen by the bank, to my account. Everybody else dealt with me over the phone, accepted the change only asking for sight of a death certificate in due course and confirmed that the account would not be affected if a payment was missed. Homecare refused to even discuss it until they had received a death certificate and would not confirm that the account would be unnaffected or even that I could take it over. When I asked to speak to someone senior I was told that it wasn't necessary as I would get the same answer.
