 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan and Sue have been exceptional in helping us tear down our old pool motor shed and constructing a new one. Dan has been more than kind, patient and informative throughout the job. Both are very easy to communicate with and accommodating. Once again so appreciative of your amazing work, thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Surve after reading the positive reviews. We required a quick turnaround on various jobs at an empty investment property. Dan and Sue went out of their way to accommodate such a late notice request even working weekends to fit us in. Their communication was great, the itemised invoice and photos were very beneficial as we don't live close by and rely heavily on communication, photos and a professional operator. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan was the best. Not only was his work top quality, he communicated everything clearly and was a joy to have in the house. Sue was also great with prompt responses and booking queries. I can't recommend Surve Property Maintenance highly enough. They will be the first to call next time I need something.

What property managers say

★★★★★

“In over 10 years as a property manager I have never come across a better maintenance team than Dan & Sue. Not only are they both lovely people, but the quality of the workmanship, reliability & response times are top class.”

How It Works

1. Tell us about the job

Call us, or fill in the quote form and tell us what needs doing and where. Photos help, but they’re optional.

2. We book you in

Small jobs are booked straight in at our callout rate. For bigger jobs we’ll quote a fixed price or agree an hourly rate — whatever suits you. Free on-site look within 10 km of Robina.

3. Job done properly

We turn up on time, do the job right and leave the place clean. If anything isn’t right, I’ll come back and fix it.

Meet Dan & Sue

I’m Dan — a licensed tradesman and former builder with more than 35 years in the building industry, including 15 years running my own licensed building company. These days I focus on skilled repairs and maintenance, where precision and reliability make all the difference.

SURVE Property Maintenance is a family business: I do every job on site myself, while my wife Sue looks after bookings and communication with homeowners, landlords, tenants and property managers. No subcontractors — you deal directly with the people who stand behind the work.

Common Questions

How does your pricing work?

Small jobs: one callout fee covers travel and your first hour on site — no 2‑hour minimum — then 30‑minute increments. Larger jobs (6+ hours) are charged at a straight hourly rate with no callout fee. The standard callout applies around Robina; it may be slightly higher further out. We’ll confirm your exact price by phone or email before we start. All prices include GST; materials are extra.

Do you work on commercial and strata properties?

Yes. As well as homes and rentals, we look after commercial premises, retail shops and strata common areas — repairs, carpentry, doors and windows, drywall and plaster, and painting, all completed to builder‑level standards. We work during business hours and don’t offer an emergency or after‑hours service.
