Repairs apps for London blocks, leaseholders and the landlords responsible for them.

Home maintenance app development London landlords can trust has to handle something most cities do not: millions of flats where responsibility is split between freeholder, leaseholder, managing agent and tenant. Codeeo builds the resident app, the engineer app and the management dashboard that sort out who should fix what, log the repair, book the trade and keep the safety records that London's taller buildings now require.

Our 80+ people are based in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and we have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. London clients work with us remotely, and every discovery session and review happens by video call.

Built for London housing

Features that reflect how London homes are owned, managed and repaired.

A repair in London often starts with a question rather than a job. Is the leak coming from the flat above or from the roof? Is the window the leaseholder's or the freeholder's? Does the block count as a higher risk building, with extra safety obligations? Converted Victorian houses in Hackney and Lambeth, mansion blocks in Kensington and Maida Vale, council estates in Southwark and Tower Hamlets and new towers in Stratford and Nine Elms all answer these differently. These capabilities are chosen so the app gets the answer right before an engineer is sent.

Explain your project
  • Responsibility checker

    Each building carries rules drawn from its leases and tenancy agreements, so the app can tell a resident whether a reported item is theirs to fix, the landlord's or the freeholder's. Disputed items go to a property manager with the relevant lease clause attached rather than bouncing between inboxes. Residents learn the answer at the point of reporting, which is far kinder than a rejected job two weeks later.

    Fewer wasted callouts and fewer arguments about who pays.

  • Leak tracing between flats

    Water coming through a ceiling in a London block is rarely the fault of the person reporting it. The app links reports from flats above and below, lets an officer request access from neighbouring households and records the source once it is found. Photos from each affected flat sit side by side, so the surveyor can often judge the likely source before visiting.

    Leaks traced faster, with the right household contacted first.

  • Building safety records

    For buildings that meet the higher risk definition under the Building Safety Act 2022, repairs that touch fire compartments, cladding or structure feed into the building's safety information. The app records what was changed, by whom and with what materials, ready for the accountable person to review. Contractors receive a prompt to upload product data sheets whenever their work touches a fire stopping detail.

    Repairs data supports the building's safety case rather than sitting apart from it.

  • Fire door inspections

    Blocks above eleven metres need regular communal fire door checks under England's fire safety rules. Officers walk each floor with the app, record the condition of closers, seals and frames, and turn any defect into a repair order in one tap. Inspection histories per door show which ones fail repeatedly and may need replacing rather than patching.

    Fire door checks and fixes recorded in the same place.

  • Section 20 major works tracking

    When qualifying works will cost leaseholders over the consultation threshold, landlords must consult first. The dashboard tracks each notice, the observation period and the contractor estimates, so major works on a London block do not start before the consultation has run its course. Leaseholders can view the notices that apply to their building inside the app, with the dates for comments shown clearly.

    Consultation steps followed and evidenced for every major project.

  • Communal heating and hot water

    Older estates and many newer developments share a central boiler house. The app recognises when reports cluster in one block, raises a single plant fault and messages every affected household, keeping individual flat faults separate. Heating engineers see the plant room's service history and the last fault before they arrive on site.

    One outage handled once, with residents kept informed.

  • Access arrangements and keys

    Concierge desks, key safes, gate codes, parking bays for vans and preferred visit times are stored per building and per home, visible only to the engineer booked for that job. Residents can confirm or rearrange visits in the app. Sensitive details such as key safe codes expire from the engineer's phone once the job is closed.

    Engineers get in on the first attempt more often.

  • Gas safety for converted flats

    Landlords letting flats in converted houses need an annual gas safety check for every appliance and flue they are responsible for. The app schedules them by building, groups visits so one engineer covers a whole house, and stores each record against the right flat. Tenants receive their copy of the record digitally within the required period after the check.

    Annual checks completed in fewer trips.

  • Multi borough performance view

    Housing associations often own homes in a dozen or more boroughs. The dashboard filters repairs, hazard cases and complaints by borough, estate and contractor, so managers can answer a councillor or the regulator about one area without building a spreadsheet. Contractor performance can be compared fairly across boroughs because every job is timed the same way.

    Clear answers about any part of the portfolio, on demand.

  • Resident updates by text and app

    Every stage of a repair, from booked to engineer on the way to completed, triggers an update by push notification or text. Residents can reply with photos or questions, which land in the job record rather than a shared mailbox. Residents who prefer it can choose text messages only and never install the app at all.

    Fewer chasing calls and a full conversation history per job.

London clients we build for

Four London maintenance operations this is designed for.

London's repair operations range from national housing associations with homes in every borough to a single heating engineer covering a few postcodes. The common thread is density: many homes stacked together, shared parts of buildings and complicated ownership. We decide what to build by understanding which of these you are and which buildings you answer for. Where an organisation fits more than one description, such as a landlord that also manages blocks for third party freeholders, the platform handles both with separate permissions.

01

Housing associations working across many boroughs

Your stock spans estates, street properties and new build blocks from Barking to Brent, with residents speaking many languages and repair contractors that differ by area. You need statutory hazard timeframes, complaints that follow the Housing Ombudsman's code, and data for the regulator. We build a resident app and dashboard that sit over your housing management system and give each borough team its own view. Translated reporting screens help households across east and west London report problems in their first language.

Designed to work with the housing system you already have.

02

Block managing agents

You run blocks on behalf of freeholders and residents' management companies, often hundreds of buildings each with their own leases, contractors and budgets. Leaseholders want visibility of communal repairs and spend. We build a maintenance app where each block has its own rules, contractor list and reporting, and directors log in to see only what concerns their building. Service charge budgets per block can be compared against actual repair spend as the year goes on.

Per block rules, contractors and permissions.

03

Build to rent and large private landlords

Your residents in Wembley, Stratford or Nine Elms expect a smooth app, and your reputation depends on fast, visible repairs. You also have plant, lifts and amenity spaces to keep running. A branded resident app tied to your planned maintenance and contractor network gives residents confidence and your operations team control. Snagging lists for new residents and defects within the developer's warranty period can be tracked in the same platform.

04

Heating and plumbing contractors

You service boilers in houses across outer London and handle landlord gas safety checks in inner London flats. Parking, access and tight appointment windows eat into your day. A booking and scheduling app that groups jobs by area, stores access notes and issues digital certificates helps your engineers fit in more visits without rushing them. Customers can see an engineer's arrival window and pay on completion from their phone.

Scheduling designed around London access and parking.

Six stages to a London maintenance app residents actually use.

  1. 01Buildings and responsibilitiesWe catalogue the London buildings in scope, their lease and tenancy structures, safety classification, shared plant and contractors, all through video sessions with your team.
  2. 02Repair rulesCategories, responsibility rules, priorities, statutory clocks and approval limits are written up and agreed so the app behaves the way your policies already say it should.
  3. 03Resident tested designPrototypes are tried by residents of different ages and languages, and by engineers on their own phones, before any production code is written.
  4. 04Build and integrateApps and dashboard are built in sprints and connected to housing, finance and contractor systems, with a recorded demo after every cycle.
  5. 05Borough pilotA single borough or group of blocks goes live first, so access rules, leak linking and notices are proven in real London buildings.
  6. 06Expand and refineRemaining boroughs join in stages, and live repairs data and resident feedback decide what we improve next.

Technology

What we build this with.

The stack follows your existing housing management, finance and document systems, the phones your engineers carry and your data policies. We typically use cross platform mobile frameworks, a web dashboard and UK hosted cloud services. Where blocks already have leak detectors or boiler monitoring, their alerts can open repair jobs automatically.

Questions London landlords and agents ask us.

Split ownership, shared plant and building safety duties shape the design.

In much of London, a repair must first be assigned to the right party: the tenant, the leaseholder, the landlord or the freeholder. Blocks share roofs, risers and heating plant, and taller buildings carry extra legal duties. Our London apps model buildings, units and responsibilities from the start, so routing, consultation and safety records work correctly instead of being added later as exceptions. That groundwork also makes it easier to add new London buildings as your portfolio grows.
