Services
Supporting You and Your Home,
Inside and Out
Whether your property is a main residence, weekend retreat, rental, or secondary home, Manor & Mantle offers tailored care to ensure your home is well looked after — even in your absence.
Routine Property Checks
Regular walkthroughs when it's empty to check heating, water, windows, signs of entry, leaks, pests, and general upkeep — with reports back to you.
Maintenance Scheduling & Oversight
From boilers to builders, I liaise with trades, gather quotes, supervise work, and manage timelines.
Household Calendar Management
I keep a record of weekly, monthly, and seasonal tasks, ensuring nothing from chimney sweeping to garden maintenance gets overlooked.
Trusted Contractor Sourcing
Use your existing contacts, or let me research and recommend reliable local professionals I’ve worked with before.
Arrival Preparation & Guest Readiness
Returning or hosting? I’ll make sure the home is warm, welcoming, and ready for you or your guests.
Emergency Response
From broken boilers to birds in chimneys — I’m the calm, capable presence to manage the unexpected when you’re away.

-
Struggled to coordinate reliable trades

Found damage too late — leaks, storms, unexpected guest mishaps
-
Or simply want to enjoy your home without the management stress...
Then you’ll understand the value of what I offer.
The Unseen Risks of an Empty Home
Did you know?
-
Many insurance policies require properties to be checked every 14 days when unoccupied
-
Water systems need regular flushing to prevent build-up and hygiene issues
-
Boilers and heating systems can silently fail
-
Glass doors can shatter, heating can shut off, pests can cause hidden damage
Without someone on-site, small problems can turn into costly repairs.
