Tips foe repairing burnt kitchen work tops
Jump to: Newest in thread
One of the tenants in a house share which I let out managed to burn the worktop. After investigating various options for repairing it , I decided to use a very fine sand paper to sand the burnt bit out .
Luckily this worked and I am now only left with a minor discolouration of the surface and two heat marks .
Luckily the tenant is no longer a tenant of mine |

You should get a management company. You always have issues with tenants, it sure would make sense to offload it onto someone else. Out of sight, out of mind. |

To me that's like paying someone to fix you're car when you can do it yourself 
My dad rents a couple of houses out and I've been and helped with a few repair jobs..why pay someone else to do something you could do.
Some of the damage is rather questionable....a bathroom radiator "fell" off the wall has been my favourite  |

. Hi . Thanks for the advice . A management company probably charge about 10 to 15 percent of the rents received . I actually enjoy managing issues myself otherwise I could not be a landlord . Luckily repairing the appearance of the worktop took less than five minutes and cost me £6 for a packet of very fine sand paper .
You must have an excellent memory of forum posts   |

. A management company would probably have charged at least one hundred pounds to do this repair which took me five minutes and the cost of a packet of very fine sand paper . |

Cos my time is more valuable than what I'd pay someone else, even if I just go by what my salary would break down to (without considering my need for down time). |

I guess, but it'd piss me off having one thing after another. 10% doesn't sound too much to me but we probably have different views on that. |

. Ten percent is fine for those who want a hassle free life . As I enjoy work and organising things it does not bother me . I like to be in control .
I use an agent in France for my apartment in Cap d Agde ,so have taken your advice on that one . |
