ELITE-LEVEL HOUSEMATES
minus the dirty dishes
Housemate is an independent property services company, looking after homes and properties across Exeter and East Devon.
We started with a pretty simple idea: getting work done on your property shouldn't be such hard work. So we're building the kind of property company we'd want to have around our own homes — straightforward, dependable, easy to deal with and genuinely proud of the work we do.
No call centres. No faceless quotes. No passing the buck.
Just good people, doing good work, and taking responsibility for getting things sorted.
Proud to be
Built differently
We think there's room for a different kind of property company. One that combines the skills and practicality of a great tradesperson with the communication, organisation and attention to detail you'd expect from a great service business.
That means listening properly. Being straightforward when something changes. Respecting your time and your home. Caring about how something looks as much as how it works. And taking ownership of the job from beginning to end.
Nothing revolutionary. Just how we believe it should be done.
ROLLING BACK THE YEARS
Some things were better the old-fashioned way.
Turning up when you say you will. Doing what you said you'd do. Taking pride in a job well done. Treating people, and their homes, with respect, and being there to put things right when something doesn't go to plan.
We're bringing a bit of that old-school approach to customer service back, while building a property company that feels firmly fit for today.
EASY ON THE ENVIRONMENT
We're not going to pretend a van full of tools is saving the planet. But we do believe lots of small, sensible decisions add up.
Repairing rather than replacing. Reusing materials where we can. Reducing unnecessary waste. Looking after things properly so they last longer. And making thoughtful choices about the materials we use.
We're always looking for ways to do good work with a little less impact.
PROPER PEACE OF MIND
Inviting us into your home requires trust. We don't take that lightly.
We'll treat your property with respect, communicate clearly and be straightforward about the work we're doing. If something unexpected comes up, we'll talk to you about it. If there's a problem, we'll take responsibility for putting it right.
When we're finished, we'll leave your home as we'd want someone to leave ours. Every time.
LET’S GET STARTED
Tell us roughly what you need and we'll come back with a straight quote — usually within 24 hours. No job's too small, and nothing's too big to plan properly.
1: WHAT DO YOU NEED?
Tell us about the property, what you'd like to get done and anything else you think we should know. Photos are always helpful, but don't worry if you're not quite sure what you need yet — that's what we're here for.
2: WE TAKE A LOOK
We'll have a chat about the job and get a better understanding of what you're looking to achieve. If we need to see things for ourselves, we'll arrange a convenient time to take a look and talk through the options with you.
3: YOU GET A QUOTE
Once we know what's involved, we'll put together a clear quote for the work. You'll know what we're proposing, what's included and what it'll cost — so you can decide if you'd like us to roll up our sleeves and get started.
