Handyman & Repairs
One reliable number for the jobs that never quite get done — fixings, fittings, adjustments and small repairs.
Read moreWelcome to RetroHof
Most property problems are not complicated. They are just tedious to organise — three quotes, two no-shows, and a job that still is not booked a fortnight later.
RetroHof exists to remove that. We are a multi-trade property maintenance company based in Hersham, working across southern England — from Hertfordshire in the north to Devon in the south west. Whether it is a single leaking tap, a full void turnaround before a new tenancy, or a commercial unit being handed back to a landlord, it is the same team, the same standard and the same point of contact.
What we do
Ten core services covering everything a home, rental or commercial property needs — available individually, or bundled into a single managed programme.

Why RetroHof
Turning up when we said. Pricing what we quoted. Clearing up afterwards. None of it is remarkable — which is exactly why it is worth choosing a firm that does it every time.
Our process
From the first phone call to the final walk-round, you always know what happens next.
Call, email or send the form. Photographs help. For urgent problems we will talk you through making things safe on the phone.
A site visit within a few working days, followed by a written, itemised quotation with a clear scope. No obligation, no charge.
An agreed start date, an agreed working pattern, and a named contact who knows your property.
A joint walk-round, certificates handed over, site left clean, and twelve months of workmanship cover behind it.
Who we help
A homeowner, a landlord with three flats and a managing agent with three hundred all need different things from a maintenance contractor.
One firm for the whole property, so you are not collecting quotes from six different trades every time something needs doing.
Fast void turnarounds, compliance handled properly, and repairs dealt with before they become claims.
A maintenance partner who reduces the number of things on your desk rather than adding to them.
Planned and reactive maintenance that works around your trading hours, not against them.
Communal areas, cyclical decoration and grounds maintenance on a schedule residents can rely on.

Sample testimonial. Replace this with a real client quote before the site goes live — a short, specific comment about a job you actually completed works far better than anything generic.
Sample testimonial. Ask two or three of your regular landlords or agents for a sentence about response times or void turnarounds, and use their words here with their permission.

Where we work
From our base in Hersham we work across the south of England — north to Welwyn, east into Kent, south through Sussex, and west as far as Dorset, Devon and Plymouth.
Around Surrey and south-west London that means same-morning response and a team that knows the housing stock. Further afield it means planned refurbishment and contract work, surveyed properly and programmed in blocks — not a call-out squeezed between local jobs.
