The Role of Repairs in Property Factoring

Taylor & Martin delivers trusted property factoring solutions across Scotland, tailored to maintain and protect residential and mixed-use developments. This service includes repairs in common areas.

Timely and professional building maintenance preserves the internal, oftent structural, integrity of shared spaces, prevents deterioration and protects long-term property value.

We work with trusted contractors to assess and address structural issues early to prevent minor issues from escalating into costly repairs.

Our team of property factors efficiently engages with professional contractors to resolve issues, overseeing the project from start to finish.

Common Repairs
We Manage

We coordinate a broad spectrum of building repairs across communal areas, from urgent repairs and reactive fixes to proactive upkeep that prevents long-term issues.

Reactive & Urgent Repairs

As your property factors, we ensure prompt responses to any reports or issues identified. These include:

Fixing broken entry doors or intercoms
Addressing lighting issues
Fixing leaks in shared spaces
Assessing visible structural changes that may indicate serious issues, such as cracks in walls or masonry

Timely repairs help prevent further damage, ensuring the safety of building occupants and protecting the property’s long-term value.

Structural Repairs

Structural work requires specialist expertise and careful coordination. We work with expert contractors who can manage:

Crack stitching and masonry repairs to restore wall integrity
Stonework and concrete repairs to external walls and facades, using quality materials suited to Scotland’s climate
Foundation and settlement assessments where structural concerns are identified. Foundation restructuring may be needed to correct uneven settlement.

Structural damage, such as foundation cracks, can lead to severe instability if left unaddressed and significantly reduce property value. Professional assessments help identify the cause and progression of any damage before repair work begins.

All structural work is carried out in line with health and safety standards and local building regulations to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Scheduled Maintenance

Our wider property management services can include:

Regular inspections and scheduled repairs to prevent future problems
Tenement roof repairs and external walls, including stonework
Exterior weatherproofing to prevent moisture penetration and protect building structures
Gutter clearing and maintenance to prevent clogging, water damage and damp

We also coordinate and assist with specialist services, such as plumbing, decorating or replacing fixtures. Expert professionals carry out every installation, repair or refurbishment to ensure the highest standard.

What building repairs are included in a property factoring service?

A property factoring service covers repairs to communal and shared areas and are dependant on the specific needs of each development. This can include common repairs to stairwells, roofs, gutters, external walls and entry systems, covering everything from minor repairs to major structural work.

This can include both reactive repairs and scheduled maintenance. Taylor & Martin coordinates all building repair services through trusted contractors, managing the process on behalf of owners from initial assessment to completion.

What is the difference between reactive and structural repairs?

The difference lies in the matter of urgency:

Reactive repairs address immediate issues, such as a broken door, water ingress, or a lighting fault, as they arise.
Structural repairs involve work on the fabric of the building itself, such as crack stitching, masonry restoration, concrete repairs or stonework to external walls.

Both are important. Reactive repairs resolve day-to-day problems, while structural work protects the building’s long-term integrity and safety.

How does Taylor & Martin handle urgent repairs?

For urgent repairs, we respond quickly to reports from owners or identified hazards. Our property factors arrange emergency call-outs with vetted contractors, ensuring repairs are carried out safely with minimal disruption. Owners are kept informed at every stage by their dedicated property factor.

How are repair costs managed between owners?

Shared repair costs are managed in line with each building’s title deeds and ownership structure. Taylor & Martin issues clear, itemised factoring reports to ensure all owners see exactly what work has been carried out and what they are contributing towards.

All repair work is agreed with owners or their committee where required, and quotes will always clarify whether VAT or additional call-out fees apply, so there are no surprises. A floating fund is maintained to facilitate prompt contractor payments.
