SPECIALIST SERVICES
Specialist and seasonal services
Pool care, tank cleaning, pest control, monsoon preparation and looking after a property that is empty for months.
Specialist and seasonal services
Work that does not fit a monthly maintenance visit — either because it is seasonal, because it needs specific equipment, or because it happens on a cycle of its own.
Swimming pool maintenance
Water balance and dosing, skimming and vacuuming, filter backwash and media, pump and chlorinator checks, tile line cleaning. Weekly, fortnightly or seasonal contracts.
Water tank cleaning
Overhead and underground tanks drained, scrubbed, disinfected and refilled. Recommended half-yearly, and before a property reopens after standing empty.
Pest control
General disinfestation, termite treatment, rodent control and mosquito management. Coordinated through licensed operators on a scheduled cycle.
Pre-monsoon preparation
Roof and terrace inspection, gutter and downpipe clearing, drain rodding, damp survey, earthing check and generator test. Booked February to May.
Post-monsoon repair
What the monsoon found — damp patches, blocked drains, corroded fittings, failed seals. Inspected, reported and quoted as one package.
Deep cleaning
Property turnaround, post-construction clean, kitchen degrease, facade and glass cleaning. One-off or scheduled.
Absentee property care
Many properties are empty for months. Most of what goes wrong in an empty house is preventable and cheap to prevent.
Periodic walk-through
Taps and cisterns run, tanks and pumps checked, AC units run, damp looked for, roof and drains inspected. Photographs and a written note each visit.
What it prevents
Dry traps and drain smell, seized pumps, mould in AC blowers, undetected leaks running for months, and a garden that has become a jungle by the time you arrive.
Season opening
Property prepared before arrival — deep clean, AC serviced, water tested, appliances checked, garden cut. Booked against your arrival date.
Season closing
Water and power isolated where appropriate, tanks drained or treated, appliances shut down properly, property secured and photographed.
Handover to guests
Where the property is let, checks between guests and a contact number that answers.
Emergency access
A local key holder who can attend when a neighbour calls about water coming through a wall.
Statutory and cyclical items societies forget
These come round whether anyone tracks them or not. A committee that changes every year rarely inherits the calendar.
What each item covers: the typical cycle it runs on, and what PRESTA coordinates when it falls due. Frequency and scope are confirmed at the survey and set out in the written proposal.
Each proposal states which of the following are included for your property:
- Fire extinguisher servicing and refill
- Lift maintenance contract
- Generator service
- Water tank cleaning
- Pest control
- Earthing and electrical check
- Terrace and drain check
- Solar panel cleaning
