AMC Pricing & Packages for London Properties

One of the most common things we hear from new clients is: “I just want to know what it’s going to cost.” That’s a fair ask — and it’s exactly why we’ve made our Annual Maintenance Contract pricing as clear and straightforward as possible.

At Catalyst Home Services, we offer flexible AMC packages for London homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients. Whether you’re looking for a basic annual check-up or a fully comprehensive maintenance programme with priority emergency cover, we have a plan that fits. And if none of our standard options is quite right, we’ll build you something bespoke.

Let’s find the right plan for your property. Book a consultation → or call us on +44 7400 265421.

How Our AMC Packages Are Structured

Our Annual Maintenance Contract service is built around three core packages, each designed to suit a different type of property and level of need. All packages include scheduled preventive maintenance visits — the foundation of any good AMC — and can be enhanced with add-ons tailored to your property.

Here’s how they break down at a glance:

  • Essential Plan — Ideal for straightforward residential properties
  • Standard Plan — Our most popular option for homeowners and single-property landlords
  • Premium Plan — Comprehensive cover for larger homes, HMOs, and commercial clients

All packages are available as part of our Residential AMC or Commercial AMC programmes, and can incorporate PPM (Planned Preventive Maintenance) visits as either standalone or full-contract arrangements.

Prices shown are indicative guides. Your final quote will follow an initial property survey, which we carry out free of charge.

The Catalyst AMC Packages

Essential Plan — From £199/year

Best for: Single-occupancy homes, owner-occupiers with newer plumbing systems, or landlords looking for a reliable annual check-in.

The Essential Plan is our entry-level option, designed to make professional property maintenance accessible without an outsized commitment. It’s not a stripped-down product — it’s a focused one. You get the essentials covered, professionally and reliably, every year.

What’s included:

Not included: Emergency call-outs, drainage inspection, pipe surveys, or reactive repairs (available to add on).

Standard Plan — From £349/year

Best for: Older properties, buy-to-let landlords with one or two properties, and homeowners who want proper peace of mind rather than minimum cover.

This is the plan most of our residential clients choose. It extends the Essential plan with drainage checks, a more detailed pipework inspection, and discounted priority response for emergency situations — meaning if something goes wrong between visits, you’re not starting from scratch.

What’s included:

  • Two scheduled maintenance visits per year (pre-winter and spring recommended)
  • Everything in the Essential Plan, plus:
  • Drainage flow check and visual inspection (see Drainage Services)
  • Pipework and joint inspection for signs of corrosion or wear (see Leak Detection & Repair)
  • Blocked drain early-warning assessment (see Blocked Drain Clearance)
  • 10% discount on all reactive call-outs during the contract year
  • Priority booking (within 48 hours) for non-emergency issues
  • Written report with photographic documentation after each visit

Optional add-ons: CCTV drain survey (see CCTV Drain Survey), emergency plumbing priority cover.

Premium Plan — From £599/year

Best for: Larger homes, HMOs, landlords with multiple properties, and commercial clients wanting comprehensive cover with fast emergency response.

The Premium Plan is our most complete offering — a genuinely all-in approach to property maintenance that combines scheduled PPM visits, priority emergency access, and a broader scope of checks. It’s particularly well suited to landlords who want to demonstrate active property management, and commercial clients who need reliable documentation for compliance purposes.

What’s included:

  • Three or more scheduled maintenance visits per year (frequency agreed at survey stage)
  • Everything in the Standard Plan, plus:
  • Full drainage inspection including CCTV survey option (see CCTV Drain Survey)
  • Pipe condition assessment and sewer access check (see Sewer Line Repair)
  • Water heater efficiency assessment (see Water Heater Installation)
  • Priority emergency cover — guaranteed 4-hour response (see Emergency Plumbing)
  • 15% discount on all reactive and installation work
  • Detailed compliance-ready maintenance log for each visit
  • Named account manager for direct communication

Also available: Multi-property discounts for landlords with two or more properties under contract.

Custom & Commercial Packages

No two properties are identical — and the same is true of the businesses and landlords that own them. If the standard packages above don’t quite map to what you need, we’re happy to build a custom plan from scratch.

Our Commercial AMC programme is specifically designed for offices, retail units, mixed-use buildings, and larger residential portfolios. Commercial packages typically include:

  • Agreed visit frequencies suited to your operational calendar
  • Out-of-hours visit options to minimise business disruption
  • Compliance documentation suitable for building management records
  • Integration with your existing facilities management processes
  • Multi-site coverage across Greater London

For Commercial Plumbing clients, we can also bundle reactive plumbing services into a single monthly retainer — making budgeting predictable and reporting straightforward.

What Affects the Price of an AMC?

Maintenance contract pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’d rather explain the factors involved than give you a number that doesn’t reflect reality. Here’s what influences your final quote:

Property age and condition — Older properties, particularly those with Victorian-era pipework or ageing boiler systems, typically require more detailed inspection. A newer property with modern plumbing will generally sit at the lower end of the range.

Property size and complexity — The number of bathrooms, the length of pipework runs, and the complexity of the drainage layout all affect how long a thorough visit takes.

Number of visits per year — More frequent visits mean earlier problem detection and lower reactive repair costs over time, but also a higher annual contract value.

Add-ons and extras — Emergency priority cover, CCTV drain surveys, and pipe condition assessments all add value — and cost. We’ll always be clear about what’s optional and what’s included.

Multi-property portfolios — Landlords with two or more properties can typically benefit from bundled pricing. The more properties you bring under a single contract, the more we can do on cost.

Why Professional Maintenance Contracts Are Worth It

It’s tempting to manage property maintenance reactively — only calling a plumber when something breaks. But the maths rarely works in your favour. A single burst pipe repair or emergency call-out can easily cost more than an entire year’s maintenance contract. And that’s before you factor in water damage to floors, walls, and belongings.

A properly structured AMC gives you:

  • Predictable annual costs — no nasty surprises
  • A maintained service history — valuable for property sales, lettings compliance, and insurance purposes
  • Faster response when things go wrong — contract clients are prioritised
  • A relationship with engineers who know your property — meaning problems get spotted faster over time

Our engineers are fully qualified and hold all relevant industry certifications — view them on our Licences & Certifications page. All work is carried out in line with current UK building regulations and Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) guidance.

Who We Work With

Homeowners — An AMC is one of the most practical things you can do for a property you’ve worked hard to buy. Our Essential and Standard plans are designed to fit typical household budgets without cutting corners.

Landlords — Whether you manage one property or twenty, our maintenance contracts help you meet your duty of care, stay ahead of compliance requirements, and avoid the operational stress of reactive maintenance. Residential AMC and multi-property packages are available.

Commercial property managers — Predictable costs, detailed documentation, and a guaranteed response time are non-negotiables when you’re managing occupied commercial space. Our Commercial AMC is built around those needs.

Property developers — Snagging, handover preparation, and ongoing maintenance for show homes or newly completed units all benefit from a structured maintenance arrangement. We also offer New Build Plumbing and can carry that relationship forward into an AMC post-completion.

FAQs

How much does an annual maintenance contract cost in London?

Our AMC packages start from £199 per year for the Essential Plan and go up to £599+ per year for the Premium Plan. Commercial and multi-property contracts are priced individually following a free survey. The final cost depends on your property size, age, the number of scheduled visits, and any add-ons you choose. We always provide a written quote before any commitment is made.

What’s the difference between the Essential, Standard, and Premium plans?

The key differences are the number of annual visits, the scope of each inspection, and the level of priority access to reactive and emergency services. The Essential Plan covers a single annual visit focusing on core systems; the Standard adds a second visit and drainage checks; the Premium adds full drainage inspection, emergency priority cover, and a guaranteed 4-hour response time. Full details are on this page, and we’re happy to walk through the options on a call.

Can I upgrade my plan mid-year?

Yes. If your circumstances change — for example, if you take on a new rental property or your home undergoes significant works — you can upgrade your plan at any point. We’ll adjust your contract and pro-rate the cost accordingly.

Is a survey required before I can sign up?

For our Essential and Standard plans, a brief telephone consultation is usually sufficient for smaller, straightforward properties. For Premium, commercial, and multi-property contracts, we carry out a free on-site survey first. This helps us give you an accurate quote and design a visit schedule that actually suits your property.

Do you offer multi-property discounts for landlords?

Yes. Landlords with two or more properties under a single contract can access bundled pricing, which typically represents a saving of 10–20% compared with individual contracts for each property. Contact us to discuss your portfolio and we’ll put together a tailored proposal.

What happens if something goes wrong between scheduled visits?

All contract clients receive preferential call-out rates and priority booking for reactive issues. Premium plan clients additionally benefit from guaranteed 4-hour emergency response through our emergency plumbing service, available around the clock via our 24/7 emergency line.

Can I cancel my AMC contract early?

Our standard contracts run for 12 months. If you need to cancel early, we ask for 30 days’ written notice. Any visits already completed will be charged at their pro-rated value; any unused portion of your annual fee will be refunded. We keep our terms fair because we’d rather earn your renewal than lock you in.

Which areas of London do you cover?

We cover a wide area across Greater London. Visit our Service Areas page to check your postcode, or give us a call and we’ll confirm coverage directly.
