About us

The two of us, and a van

Dion and Laura, who run L&D’s Property Maintenance Services Plus in Auckland

Dion and Laura.

We're Laura and Dion, a husband-and-wife team running a property maintenance business out of Glendene in West Auckland.

There's no office and no call centre. When you ring, you get one of us, and Dion is who you'll usually meet on the job. We like it that way: you know who's coming, and we know what we've promised you.

"We believe great workmanship, honest communication and genuine customer service never go out of style."

The idea behind the business is simple. A property, whether it's your home, a rental you own, a block of units you manage or a site you run a business out of, throws up a steady stream of small problems. A gate that's dropped. A wall that needs cleaning and repainting. Carpark bays that have faded out. A pile of flat pack that arrived last week. None of it is big enough to be worth chasing a specialist for, and all of it adds up.

So we made ourselves the number you ring for all of it. We turn our hand to most things, and when something genuinely isn't ours to do, we'll say so rather than have a crack and hope.

How we work

What you can expect from us

Reliable

We turn up when we said we would, and if something changes you'll hear it from us first.

Friendly

You're dealing with two people, not a process. Ask us anything.

Professional

Quoted properly, done properly, tidied up after. No surprises on the invoice.

Honest about scope

If a job needs a specialist trade, we'll tell you rather than take it on regardless.

Fully insured

We carry public liability cover, so a body corporate or property manager can put us on site without it being a conversation.

Homes and commercial

Not just a home handyman

A fair amount of our work is commercial and body corporate: carparks, common areas, signage, line marking, gym fit-outs and BWOF remedial work. That side of things means we're used to working around tenants, staff and the public, and to being one contractor a property manager can hand a list to rather than four.

It also means the residential jobs get the same approach. A fence repair at a house in Te Atatū gets quoted, scheduled and finished the same way a carpark refresh does.

New name, real work

We'd rather show you than tell you

We're new online, so you won't find a wall of reviews here yet, and we're not going to invent any. What you will find is a gallery of jobs we've actually done, and a phone number that gets answered. Have a look, then give us a call.
