Business Details
Expert Building & Property Maintenance in Plymouth
With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the building and property maintenance industry, I established Ware & Tare Property Care to deliver reliable, high-quality solutions for homeowners and property managers across Plymouth and the South Hams. My career began at 28 after two years in a Builders Merchant, supported by mentorship from skilled tradespeople in my early years. I have since worked extensively in new builds, renovation projects, and emergency repairs, including roles as a Project Manager for two building companies.My diverse expertise spans roofline maintenance, plumbing, fencing, and exterior painting, underpinned by a commitment to resolving even the most complex property issues. As a Trading Standards Approved Contractor with five Gold Crowns - the highest quality rating - I prioritise transparency, guaranteed workmanship, and fair pricing. Every project benefits from my articulate communication style, management experience from roles at Marks & Spencer and DFS, and a dedication to treating every property as if it were my own.
