Property Maintenance Schedule Template

What Is It?

A property maintenance schedule is a planning and record document that lists the recurring maintenance tasks for a property, organised by how often each one needs doing - monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. For each task it records the due date, the date it was actually completed, who carried it out, any notes or issues found, and the cost. It is used by handymen offering an ongoing maintenance service to make sure nothing is missed, to plan their workload across the year, and to give the property owner a clear, evidenced history of how the property has been looked after.

About This Template

Planned maintenance is one of the best ways for a handyman to build steady, repeat income instead of relying on one-off call-outs. A property maintenance schedule turns ad-hoc jobs into a managed service: a clear plan of recurring tasks - gutters, sealant, smoke alarms, drainage, external paintwork, the garden - each with a frequency, a due date, and a record of when it was done and what it cost. For landlords, letting agents, and homeowners, this is exactly what they want: a property that is looked after before things go wrong, with a documented history they can rely on. For the handyman, it means a planned calendar of work, predictable cash flow, and customers who stay year after year.

When to Use

• When setting up an ongoing or contract maintenance arrangement with a landlord, letting agent, or homeowner
• At the start of each year to plan recurring tasks and schedule visits across the seasons
• Before and after each maintenance visit, to record what was done and flag what still needs attention
• When managing maintenance across several properties and visits need to be coordinated and tracked
• When reporting back to a property owner or agent on the work completed and any issues found
• When pricing a maintenance package, so the full year of tasks and costs is visible up front

What to Include

• Property address, owner or agent contact details, and the period the schedule covers
• A list of maintenance tasks grouped by frequency: monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annually
• Monthly and quarterly tasks such as testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, checking for leaks and damp, and general visual checks
• Seasonal tasks such as clearing gutters and downpipes, clearing drains and gullies, and checking external sealant and pointing
• Annual tasks such as servicing reminders, checking external paintwork and woodwork, bleeding radiators, and checking loft and roof condition
• Garden and grounds tasks such as hedge trimming, lawn care, and clearing paths and patios
• The due date or target month for each task
• A completion log: the date each task was actually carried out and who did it
• Notes for each task recording the condition found, any defects, and any follow-up work needed
• The cost of each visit or task, with a running total for the period
• Recommended remedial works identified during visits, with a note that a separate quote will follow
• Sign-off space for the handyman and the property owner or agent to confirm the record
