Kerfuffle & Compare The PropTech Partner

Your maintenance contractor network is only as good as your slowest supplier. TMS gives you a managed alternative.

TMS Group UK is a managed property maintenance partner for letting agents and managing agents. Reactive repairs, void turnarounds, planned maintenance programmes and compliance inspections - all coordinated by TMS, with a single point of contact for your team, landlords and tenants. No more chasing individual contractors. No more rogue invoice surprises.

The maintenance coordination problem

Coordinating maintenance across a portfolio of managed properties is a full-time job your team is doing on top of their actual job.

Every property management team has the same problem: too many contractors, not enough visibility, and maintenance jobs that expand to fill the time available to manage them.

Contractors who go quiet after a job is assigned

Assigning a repair to a contractor and then chasing them three days later to find out what happened is a pattern every lettings team knows. Each chase call is a minute of property management time that could be spent on new business.

Void turnarounds that run over time and over budget

A void property that should take five days to turn around and takes ten costs the landlord rent and costs your agency their confidence in your maintenance management. Speed and cost control are the same problem.

Landlords who expect one-call resolution

When a landlord calls about a maintenance issue, they want it resolved, not transferred. Agencies that can say 'we are handling this' rather than 'we are waiting on a contractor' have a different relationship with their clients.

Compliance inspections that fall off the diary

EICR, gas safety and fire risk assessments managed through individual contractor relationships are vulnerable to gaps. A managed compliance programme ensures nothing expires unnoticed.

What TMS Group UK does for your managed portfolio

Six service lines that give your lettings team a single maintenance partner instead of a contractor list.

TMS Group UK manages the contractor coordination, quality control and compliance documentation on behalf of your agency - giving your team one number to call and one invoice to process.

1

Reactive maintenance response

TMS handles reactive repair requests from your tenants and landlords, coordinating the right tradesperson and providing regular status updates to your team and the landlord throughout.

2

Void property turnarounds

Between tenancies, TMS coordinates cleaning, decoration, minor repairs and compliance checks to prepare a property for the next tenant as quickly as possible. Managed from start to handback.

3

Planned maintenance programmes

Annual compliance checks, regular inspections and scheduled maintenance are organised into a managed programme so nothing falls through the gap between individual contractor relationships.

4

Compliance inspection management

TMS coordinates EICR electrical tests, gas safety certificates, fire risk assessments and energy performance certificates - with expiry tracking and renewal scheduling built in.

5

Quality control and contractor management

TMS manages their own approved contractor network, handling quality assurance, insurance verification and performance management so your agency does not have to.

6

Single-invoice simplicity

One monthly invoice from TMS covering all coordinated works, rather than multiple contractor invoices arriving at different times and requiring individual approval and coding.

Working with TMS Group UK

Five steps from first conversation to managed maintenance across your portfolio.

TMS starts with a review of your current maintenance setup and portfolio. Most agencies have a first service job coordinated by TMS within two weeks of agreeing terms.

1

Portfolio review

TMS reviews your managed portfolio - property types, size spread, current maintenance spend and compliance calendar. This scopes the service and informs the commercial proposal.

2

Service configuration

Your service preferences are agreed - which job types go through TMS, which contractors you retain direct relationships with, and how communications flow to your team and landlords.

3

Contractor onboarding

TMS maps your current contractors against their own network. Where you have existing supplier relationships, TMS can work alongside them.

4

First live jobs

Your first reactive and planned jobs go through TMS. Your team sees how status updates, invoices and completion records are handled.

5

Ongoing management

TMS runs the maintenance workflow in the background of your agency. Regular account reviews ensure the service is performing to your expectations.

Frequently asked questions

What agents ask before they start with TMS Group UK Ltd.

Does TMS replace our existing maintenance contractors?
TMS operates as a managed layer above your contractor relationships. They can work alongside existing contractors, replace them where you prefer, or manage a subset of job types while your team retains direct relationships for others.
How does TMS communicate with our tenants and landlords?
TMS communicates under your agency identity where preferred, or as a named maintenance partner. Your team sets the communication preference during service configuration.
What is the response time for reactive repairs?
Response time SLAs are agreed during the service setup and depend on the type and urgency of repair. Emergency response, next-day and standard timescales are all options.
Can TMS cover properties outside our local area?
TMS has a national contractor network, which makes them suitable for agencies with properties spread across multiple areas or for portfolio landlords with properties in different regions.
How are invoices handled?
TMS consolidates all coordinated works into a single monthly invoice for each agency. This simplifies your accounts process and gives you one document to reconcile against job records.

About TMS Group UK Ltd

Who is TMS Group UK Ltd?

TMS Group UK Ltd was established to address the coordination problem that sits at the centre of every managed lettings portfolio: the gap between a maintenance request arriving and a completed job being reported back to the landlord. By operating as a managed partner rather than an individual contractor, TMS removes the overhead of contractor coordination from the lettings team and replaces it with a single accountable relationship - one point of contact, one invoice, one source of truth for every job across the portfolio.
