Services · Mobile app development · Home maintenance apps
We provide home maintenance app development Manchester housing providers, build to rent operators, managing agents and heating firms can rely on for day to day repairs. Residents report faults with photos, engineers receive jobs on their phones, and managers see every open case against its deadline. For social landlords in Greater Manchester, Awaab's Law makes an honest, timed record of each repair a legal duty as well as good practice.
Codeeo has a team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. We work remotely with Manchester clients, running every workshop, review and demo by video call.

Features for Manchester
Manchester's housing splits sharply. The city centre and its edges, from Ancoats and New Islington to Deansgate and Castlefield, are full of new apartment towers run by build to rent landlords and managing agents, many with shared plant and communal heating. Further out, in Gorton, Harpurhey, Moston and Wythenshawe, social landlords look after large numbers of older houses and low rise flats, while Didsbury and Chorlton have owner occupiers with ageing boilers. One app cannot treat these the same way. The capability set below is chosen for that mix, and we cut or reorder it to match your portfolio.
Many central Manchester blocks take heat and hot water from a shared plant room. Ofgem began regulating heat networks in January 2026, so residents' outage reports, billing questions and complaints need logging with dates and outcomes. The app separates a single flat with no hot water from a block wide failure and alerts the operator differently for each.
Heat network operators can show how each outage and complaint was handled.
When a lift is out, the water is off for a riser repair or the plant room is being serviced, everyone in the building gets one clear notice with expected timings and updates. Residents stop reporting the same fault forty times, and the concierge desk stops fielding the same question.
One shared fault, one notice, far fewer duplicate reports.
Reports that indicate damp, mould or an emergency hazard are flagged automatically and tracked against the timeframes now set for social landlords in England. Officers see the investigation date, the make safe date and the written summary owed to the household, all from the same case screen.
Deadlines are visible before they are missed, not after.
Lifts, door entry, fire alarms, emergency lighting, water tanks and communal boilers each carry a service schedule, a responsible contractor and the last certificate. The calendar shows what is due across every building you manage in the city, with overdue items pushed to the top.
Statutory and contractual servicing is never left to memory.
Build to rent residents in Manchester expect their landlord's app to handle more than repairs. Alongside fault reporting it can manage parcel notifications, amenity booking for gyms or roof terraces, move in snagging lists and tenancy documents, all under your own brand.
A single resident app that people open every week, not once a year.
Heating firms working in south and east Manchester can sell annual service and breakdown cover through the app, take payment by Direct Debit, and book engineers by postcode. Plan holders' breakdowns are prioritised in the scheduler automatically.
Predictable, repeat heating maintenance income.
Providers with homes in Manchester, Salford, Trafford or Oldham often use different contractors in each area. Each contractor logs into a portal limited to their own jobs, updates status, uploads photos and submits invoices, while you see everything together.
Many contractors, one consistent record.
Social landlords report Tenant Satisfaction Measures to the Regulator of Social Housing. The dashboard pulls repairs completed on time, satisfaction scores collected after each job and complaint figures straight from live data, rather than from a separate survey workbook.
Regulatory returns built from the same data your team uses daily.
Landlords and agents in Fallowfield, Withington and Rusholme face a rush of inspections and repairs every summer between tenancies. The app builds a checklist for each house, assigns trades in a sensible order and shows which properties are ready for the new intake.
Summer turnarounds planned house by house instead of firefought.
In blocks above eleven metres, England's fire safety rules expect regular checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors where possible. Staff complete each check in the app with photos and defects noted, and failed doors become repair jobs straight away.
Safety checks and the repairs they trigger live in one place.
Manchester operators we suit
The right maintenance app for a twenty storey rental tower near Piccadilly would frustrate a council repairs team in north Manchester, and the reverse is just as true. Before we propose features, we look at who your residents are, what buildings you are responsible for and which regulators or contracts you report to. Here are the four Manchester situations we see most often. Plenty of Manchester organisations combine two of them, such as a housing provider that also runs a build to rent brand, and the platform can serve both under separate branding.
You own or run purpose built rental blocks in the city centre or around Salford Quays, with on site teams and a resident experience to protect. Your current repairs tool is generic, and residents compare you to the slickest consumer apps. We build a branded resident app with repairs, building notices and amenities, connected to the maintenance and heat network data your operations team needs. Data from the resident app also shows which Manchester buildings generate the most repairs, helping asset teams plan their next refurbishment.
Branded, and owned by you rather than rented per unit.
Your homes are mainly terraces, semis and low rise flats across the east and north of the city, many built before modern insulation standards. Damp, mould and heating failures are your biggest risk. You need statutory clocks, clear officer workflows and evidence that stands up to the Housing Ombudsman. We focus the first release on reporting, triage and timed follow up. Officers can attach moisture readings and photos at every visit, so a case history is complete if a family later complains.
Built to fit alongside your housing management system.
You manage blocks on behalf of freeholders and residents' management companies, and leaseholders want to see what happens to their service charge. A maintenance app that records communal repairs, planned servicing, contractor quotes and completion photos per building gives directors and leaseholders a transparent view without endless emails. Major works and their quotes can be shown alongside the consultation stage reached, which saves agents a great deal of correspondence.
Each building's directors can see only their own block.
You service and repair boilers for homeowners and small landlords across south Manchester, Stockport and Tameside. You want online booking, a proper diary for your engineers, digital service records and annual reminders that bring customers back without phone chasing. We build a compact app around those tasks, ready to grow when you add engineers. Customers can also pay for one off repairs in the app, which removes the awkward wait for an invoice to clear.
A focused first release for a small engineering team.
Engagement options
Most Manchester clients begin with a defined first release built to a fixed scope, typically resident reporting, engineer jobs and a dashboard. After launch, a monthly retainer keeps the app updated as rules change and adds features such as heat network reporting or amenity booking. Larger providers sometimes prefer dedicated engineers working inside their own digital team. We collaborate remotely in every case, with video calls, shared boards and written updates. Whichever route you take, the Manchester team that owns the app afterwards is involved from discovery, so handover is a formality rather than a surprise.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Our technology choices follow your existing housing, finance and building management systems. We favour well supported mobile frameworks, a web dashboard for officers and agents, and UK hosting where your data policy asks for it. Where buildings already have sensors for heat, humidity or leaks, we can read their data into the dashboard so problems are spotted before residents report them.

03Marketing and tracking
A short discovery phase to map your buildings, residents and rules.
We begin by understanding the stock you manage, from city centre towers to suburban houses, and how repairs move through your organisation today. From that we write a scope covering the first release, its user types and its integrations, plus a delivery plan you approve in writing. Building and testing only start once that plan is agreed, and a single block or estate pilots the app before wider rollout. Smaller heating firms usually move from discovery to a working first release faster, because they have fewer systems to connect.
