Professional Maintenance Services
Sinqobile Construction provides comprehensive property maintenance services across Johannesburg and Gauteng β keeping residential and commercial properties in top condition year-round. Over 15 years we have maintained hundreds of properties, handling everything from routine inspections and repairs to emergency call-outs. Property maintenance is not glamorous, but it prevents small problems from becoming expensive disasters. A leaking tap left for months becomes water damage. A cracked tile becomes a bathroom leak. We offer scheduled maintenance contracts and on-demand call-out services for all trades: plumbing, electrical, painting, tiling, carpentry, roofing, waterproofing, and general repairs.

Monthly maintenance contracts for residential properties cost R2,500βR5,000/month and include regular inspections, minor repairs, and priority emergency call-outs.

What does a maintenance contract include?
Our residential maintenance contracts include monthly or quarterly property inspections, gutter cleaning, plumbing checks (taps, toilets, geyser), electrical safety checks, paintwork assessment, roof inspection, and minor repairs included in the contract fee. Major repairs are quoted separately but at discounted contract rates. You also get priority scheduling for emergency call-outs.

We recommend quarterly maintenance inspections at minimum β with specific seasonal tasks: pre-summer (October) for roof and gutter inspection before storm season, post-summer (March) for storm damage assessment, mid-year (June) for painting and exterior checks before winter, and year-end for a comprehensive review. Monthly visits are ideal for older properties or those with known maintenance issues.
