In-House Maintenance
The deadplumb advantage. When the dishwasher fails or the tap leaks at 9pm, the same operator managing your booking is also a licensed tradie. Most issues sorted same-day.
End-to-end short-term rental management across Mandurah, the Peel region, and Perth metro. Run by an active Airbnb Superhost with a builder on the team — when something breaks at 9pm, we don't call a tradie. We fix it.
Active Airbnb Superhost · Builder on the team. Most managers coordinate maintenance — we deliver it. Twenty years of construction means leaks, broken appliances, and tile cracks are fixed in hours, not days. That's the deadplumb difference.
Whether you have a property ready to list or need help getting one to short-stay grade, deadplumb handles the whole cycle.
Professional listings across Airbnb, Stayz, Booking.com and Vrbo. Property styling guidance, photography coordination, copy that converts, and the operational details that win the algorithm.
Pricing tuned for Mandurah seasonality — school holidays, long weekends, Perth tourism flow, Crab Fest. Calendar managed across all channels with conflict prevention and minimum-stay optimisation.
Enquiry response within an hour during waking hours, after-hours support for arriving guests. Check-in instructions, local recommendations, troubleshooting, and post-stay review management.
Trusted cleaners scheduled around your calendar. Hotel-grade linen supply, restock checklists, deep-clean rotation. Quality inspected by an experienced builder — not just trusted on photos.
The deadplumb advantage. When the dishwasher fails or the tap leaks at 9pm, the same operator managing your booking is also a licensed tradie. Most issues sorted same-day.
Performance reports each month — occupancy, ADR, revenue, expenses, maintenance log. Clean statements ready for your accountant. Transparency by default, not on request.
No setup fees. No hidden charges. No upsells on services that should already be standard. One transparent percentage covers the whole operation.

Most managers quietly add cleaning fee markups, photography fees, restocking fees, maintenance call-out fees, listing fees, "premium support" upgrades. We don't. The 20% covers everything operational. The only extras are guest cleaning fees (which guests pay) and out-of-scope renovation work (priced separately).
Site walk-through. Photos, condition notes, short-stay readiness check, recommended improvements, projected nightly rate.
Written agreement with clear scope, fees, and reporting cadence. Month-to-month — no lock-in.
Listing creation, photography, copy, pricing setup. Live on Airbnb and partner platforms within 7–14 days.
From there: we run it. You receive monthly reports and pay-outs. Major issues escalated — minor ones handled.
We run our own short-stay property. We know what guests look for, what hosts get wrong, and what the algorithm rewards — because we live it.
Twenty years on the tools. When the dishwasher fails or a tap leaks at 9pm, the same operator managing your booking is also licensed to fix it.
School holidays, long weekends, Perth weekend escapes, fishing seasons, Crab Fest. Pricing set for Mandurah — not from a national algorithm.
You speak to the same person every time. Guests speak to a real human, not a chatbot. No call-centre handoffs.
Short-stay management focused on the Mandurah holiday-rental zone — Mandurah, Halls Head, Falcon, Dawesville and surrounds — plus Perth metropolitan properties suited to corporate, leisure, and event-driven stays.
We'll respond with a free property assessment and a projected nightly rate range. Typical response within four business hours.
