“Maider has looked after our rental units in Bloemfontein for two years. Tenants stay longer, and we get fewer emergency calls about leaks or broken fittings.”
“We run a small guesthouse and need the garden and paintwork to stay neat between bookings. Their monthly plan handles it without us chasing anyone.”
“The team replaced a faulty geyser valve and fixed two doors in one visit. Clear quote, tidy work, and they arrived exactly when they said they would.”
“We coordinate maintenance for a portfolio of family homes across the Free State. Maider’s reporting and follow-through make our job far simpler.”
“After a storm damaged our roof and fence, they handled the repairs quickly. The site was left clean, and the insurance paperwork was straightforward.”
These are a few of the homeowners, rental managers and small businesses that rely on Maider Services for regular upkeep and one-off repairs.
We started in 2016 with a single van, a set of basic tools, and a simple rule: finish the job properly or don't take it. That rule still guides how we schedule work, check quality, and build long-term relationships with homeowners across the Free State.
Our founder, Cindy Motsepe, began by handling small repair calls for neighbours: leaking taps, stuck doors, and broken fence latches. Word spread quickly because we showed up when we said we would and left the workspace cleaner than we found it.
After repeated requests from rental property managers, we introduced scheduled domestic cleaning and garden upkeep. Instead of one-off visits, we built monthly care plans with a fixed checklist, so nothing got missed between appointments.
We invested in training for painting, tiling, and appliance installation. This let us handle bigger projects like bathroom resealing and kitchen cabinet repairs without subcontracting, which kept quality control in our own hands.
Every completed job now goes through a final inspection by a senior team member. We photograph the finished work, confirm the client's satisfaction, and follow up within a week to catch any issues early. This reduced repeat callouts by nearly half.
Today we manage maintenance for over 40 rental units and small commercial spaces. Our team of vetted tradespeople handles everything from seasonal gutter cleaning to emergency plumbing fixes, always with transparent hourly rates and a clear completion time.
Maider Services started as a small neighbourhood crew fixing leaky taps and clearing overgrown yards. Today we run scheduled maintenance plans for homes across the Free State, but the approach has not changed: show up on time, do the job properly, and leave the property in better shape than we found it.
South African homes deal with hard water, summer storms and dry winter air. Our checklists are written around those realities, not copied from overseas manuals. We inspect roofs before rainy season, service geysers before the cold snap, and treat gardens according to the local soil and rainfall.
Local knowledgeEvery person who enters your home has been through reference checks, a practical skills assessment and a background screening. We pair newer team members with experienced hands until they meet our standard for tidy, careful workmanship.
Trusted tradesmenYou know the rate before we start. No surprise call-out fees, no vague line items. If a job takes longer than expected, we stop and confirm before continuing. The quote you approve is the price you pay.
Clear pricingAfter each visit, a supervisor reviews the completed work against a checklist. If something is not right, we come back and fix it at no extra charge. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job.
Quality controlWe work around your schedule, not the other way around. Book a single visit or set up a recurring monthly plan. Rental property managers get a dedicated contact person and a shared log of completed tasks for each unit.
Flexible schedulingLandlords and letting agents trust us with routine inspections, turnover cleans and small repairs between tenants. We send a photo report after every visit, so you always know what was done and what needs attention next.
Rental property careCindy coordinates daily schedules, checks completed work and handles client follow-ups. She spent six years managing residential maintenance crews in Gauteng before joining Maider, so she knows how to keep a roster moving without cutting corners.
Victoria inspects finished jobs, reviews client feedback and runs the rework process when something falls short. Her background in property management means she catches the small details that usually get missed, from sealant lines to fixture alignment.
Edwin handles the trickier repairs: plumbing fixes, door alignment, drywall patching and appliance installations. He has worked on older Free State homes and newer complexes alike, and he carries the tools needed for most jobs on the first visit.
Babalwa manages bookings, sends reminders and makes sure every client knows what to expect before a technician arrives. She also tracks recurring care plans and adjusts schedules when a property needs extra attention between visits.
Every Maider technician passes a background check, completes a practical skills assessment and works under a clear code of conduct. That is the baseline, not the exception.
