Maintenance for rental or holiday properties

Renting out property? Verifiable maintenance is your best insurance policy

For rental properties and holiday homes, servicing the stove and chimney is more than just about comfort: it is the landlord's legal duty of care, the annual certificate every insurer asks for, and the safety of every guest or tenant using the appliance, season after season. We handle it completely for a single property or an entire portfolio at once: 1 schedule, 1 invoice and certificates filed neatly per property.

Prices remain the same as for any private home: chimney sweeping from 60 euros, stove servicing from 120 euros, and a full combo service from 160 euros, with a noticeable volume discount starting from 2 to 3 properties in a single route.

When renting out, only one question matters after an incident: can you prove regular maintenance? We make sure the answer is always yes.

How it works for landlords

1. Step 1: mapping your properties and appliances

   We thoroughly inventory the present appliances, flues, and last known maintenance dates per property, with an initial inspection round if needed. From that moment on, exactly 1 central file exists per property containing everything: appliances, flues, certificates, and findings, digital and accessible at all times.

2. Step 2: 1 annual schedule for everything

   All servicing appointments across all properties are combined into 1 annual schedule, fully aligned with your rental calendar: holiday homes ahead of the season, residential properties during the summer months between April and September. You confirm once, we handle the rest, year after year.

3. Step 3: access via key agreement

   You do not need to be present: we work with key agreements, lockbox codes, or through the caretaker, and register properly with tenants, providing advance notice according to the rental agreement terms. After every service, you receive a concise update with photos within 48 hours.

4. Step 4: certificates and invoicing per property

   Every certificate is saved per property and delivered to you, and invoicing is clearly consolidated into 1 document with a itemized line per address. Your accountant receives neat paperwork, and your files stay complete.

Who is responsible: tenant or landlord?

The law assigns annual maintenance to the user of the appliance, which means the tenant in residential rentals. However, practice shows that tenants frequently forget, and when an incident occurs, everyone looks at the property owner. That is why smart landlords take control themselves and include the service in the maintenance charges, as prescribed by statutory maintenance regulations.

For holiday rentals, you as the operator are the user, and therefore directly responsible. You can read the full interval details per appliance type in our guide on maintenance frequency.

What does rental property maintenance cost?

Standard flat rates apply per property: chimney sweeping 60 to 90 euros, stove servicing 120 to 200 euros, combo service 160 to 250 euros, and boiler servicing 180 to 300 euros. When scheduling multiple properties in 1 route, call-out fees are shared, lowering the price per address. Find a complete breakdown of all services in our overview of maintenance costs.

Holiday homes: ready for every season

A holiday home experiences intensive heating in short, concentrated periods, with guests who are unfamiliar with the appliance. Therefore, we schedule servicing before the season opens, display short, clear operating instructions near the stove, and inspect carbon monoxide detectors and their expiry dates during the CO safety check.

This ensures every guest heats safely on a verified installation, protecting your ratings from being damaged by a smoking stove during peak season. One bad review costs more than 10 years of maintenance, and this service removes that exact risk.

The maintenance contract: automatically compliant every year

Most landlords select a dedicated maintenance plan per property, such as the contract for pellet stoves: service scheduled automatically, priority call-outs within 48 hours in case of breakdowns, and documentation kept up to date. When a fault occurs during a rental period, every day counts, and that priority support makes all the difference between an unhappy guest and a resolved issue.

The contract rate per property is identical to standard residential rates, 130 to 200 euros per year, with additional volume discounts applied.

One single contact point for every situation

From annual servicing via the combo service to urgent repairs or chimney cleaning via our sweeping service: you dial 1 phone number for any issue across any property. Tenants can contact us directly with notification sent to you, preventing minor issues from growing simply because they went unreported. If a property manager handles your portfolio, we work seamlessly with them directly.

Getting started: from address list to initial round

Setting up requires just 1 email from you: the addresses, the appliances (as far as known), and your rental availability schedule. We complete the inventory, present the annual plan, and execute the first round, after which each property gains its own digital file and the annual schedule runs effortlessly.

Properties with overdue maintenance receive an immediate catch-up service and inspection during that first round, bringing the entire portfolio to the required safety standard from year one.

When selling or letting: complete documentation speaks for itself

A property supported by a full maintenance record rents out faster and sells for a stronger price: historical certificates, detailed findings per service, and photos clearly demonstrate a professionally managed home. We store all digital files per address for 10 years, and a single email provides an updated report ready for new tenancy inventories.
