The cost of the wrong contractor
A grounds contractor you have to chase is a risk to your reputation.
For a managing agent or estates manager, poor grounds maintenance isn't a tidiness problem — it's complaints, compliance exposure and budget you can't predict.
Resident complaints
Missed visits and patchy standards land on your desk, not theirs.
Compliance gaps
No documented RAMS or COSHH — and the liability sits with you.
Unpredictable budgets
Surprise invoices and ad-hoc charges that blow the service charge.
Chasing for proof
No record of what was done, so every query becomes your problem.
Avery removes all four — fixed pricing, documented compliance, named teams, and a photo report after every visit.
