Stop chasing contractors.
FixRoute keeps every repair moving.
FixRoute closes every repair loop — tenant reports via link, you assign, contractor fixes, everyone auto-updated. Full timestamped audit trail. £19/month.
FixRoute is property repair management software for self-managing UK landlords with 1–20 properties. It costs £19/month and replaces WhatsApp-based repair coordination with a structured loop: tenants report repairs via a permanent web link, landlords assign contractors from a single dashboard, and contractors receive scoped job links with full details. No app or account required for tenants or contractors. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
What you're losing right now
The invisible tax every
landlord pays daily.
The average time lost to WhatsApp repair coordination — calls, chasing, re-explaining the same issue to your plumber.
Because there is no system. Just a phone number. Your tenants don't know what else to do.
Screenshot a WhatsApp thread in court. Go on. Post-Renters' Rights Act, timestamped records are what defend every possession claim.
That's what FixRoute costs. One avoided contractor call pays for three months.
Same boiler. Completely different outcomes.
What coordination looks like now
vs. what it should look like.
The law has changed
Your process probably hasn't.
UK landlord legislation moved fast in 2025–2026. Here's what every self-managing landlord must now comply with — and how FixRoute covers each one.
Section 21 is gone. Every possession claim can now be countered with a disrepair argument. Timestamped repair records document that you responded promptly — your primary defence against counterclaims.
From 1 May 2026 the scope expanded from 7 to 13 qualifying offences and the recovery window doubled to 24 months. Documented repair history is your evidence that you acted in reasonable time.
Under Section 11 you must respond to repairs within a reasonable period. "Reasonable" is determined by urgency. WhatsApp threads are not evidence. A timestamped response record is.
Landlords must register on the new national database. Repair and compliance records you build now become the documentation you need when registration opens. Start the trail today.

The repair loop
Five steps, fully tracked.
You make two decisions: assign it, approve the quote. FixRoute handles the rest.
Add a property — takes 30 seconds
FixRoute creates a permanent report link for that property. Send it to your tenant once via email, text, or WhatsApp. Every repair they ever submit goes straight to your dashboard — no more "can you just ring me?"
Reports the issue — no account, no app
They visit the link on any phone. Fill in the description, pick a category, attach photos. Done in under a minute. No registration. No password. If they can use WhatsApp, they can use this.
Review, triage, assign — one click
You get a notification. You see the report, the photos, the priority. Pick a contractor from your saved list, click assign. One email goes to your contractor. Nothing else for you to do.
Gets a link — no app, no account, no setup
They receive a plain email with a job link. They see the full details, photos, and priority. They accept, send a quote with a proposed date. You get notified. All from their inbox — no new software for them to learn.
Marks done — everyone updated automatically
Job complete. Contractor marks done. Your tenant gets an email. The ticket closes with a full timestamped record — photos, quote, scheduled date, completion notes. You're copied. Nothing to chase.
Your command centre
Everything across all your
properties. One screen.

Common questions
Everything you want to know
What if my contractor doesn't want to use another app?
There is no app. When you assign a job, your contractor receives a plain email with a link. They click it, view the job details on a standard web page, accept or decline, send a quote with a proposed date, and mark the job done — all from that one page. No account, no download, no setup. If they can read an email, they can use FixRoute.
What if my tenant isn't particularly tech-savvy?
The report form is a single web page with three fields: description of the issue, a category dropdown, and optional photos. There is no account to create. No password to remember. It works on any phone, tablet or computer. If a tenant can send a WhatsApp message, they can fill in this form.
What happens when the 14-day trial ends?
You'll receive an email reminder before your trial ends. If you want to continue, you add a payment method. If you don't, your account pauses — no surprise charges, ever. We don't require a card upfront because we want you to try FixRoute properly, not worry about accidentally being billed.
Is my data secure? What about GDPR?
FixRoute is built with GDPR compliance as a baseline: data is encrypted in transit and at rest, we never sell your data to third parties, tenants can request deletion of their data, and we maintain a complete audit log for compliance purposes. You can find the full details in our Privacy Policy.
I only have 1 or 2 properties. Is it worth it?
£19/month is 63p per day. Even a single property with one repair per month typically involves multiple phone calls, texts and follow-ups. The audit trail alone — with timestamped quotes and job completion records — is valuable if a tenant dispute ever arises. Landlords with just one property often tell us the peace of mind is worth more than the price.
Do I need to migrate anything from WhatsApp?
No. There is nothing to import or migrate. Add a property, copy the link, send it to your tenant. That's the entire setup. New repairs come through FixRoute from that moment on. Old WhatsApp threads stay where they are.
What is FixRoute and how does it work?
FixRoute is property repair management software for self-managing UK landlords with 1–20 properties. It replaces WhatsApp-based repair coordination with a structured loop: tenants report repairs via a permanent web link (no app, no account), landlords triage and assign from a single dashboard, and contractors receive scoped job links with full job details. Every action is timestamped, creating an audit trail for Section 11 compliance and deposit disputes. It costs £19/month flat.
How does FixRoute compare to Fixflo?
Fixflo is built for letting agencies managing 50+ properties and starts at approximately £82/month. It requires tenants and contractors to create accounts, and onboarding takes days. FixRoute is built for self-managing landlords with 1–20 properties. It costs £19/month — no accounts required for tenants or contractors, and setup takes 2 minutes. For the full comparison, see FixRoute vs Fixflo.
Does FixRoute help with Section 11 compliance?
FixRoute creates a timestamped record of every repair: when the tenant reported it, when you responded, when a contractor was assigned, when the job was completed. Under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, you must respond to repairs in a reasonable time — FixRoute's audit trail documents that response. This record is valuable in any dispute with a tenant or local authority. For more detail, see our guide on FixRoute's audit trail and Section 11 compliance.
