In a world of automated call centres, week-long wait times, and “we can fit you in next month” responses, one thing is standing out more than ever: speed.

At EPM, we’ve built our reputation on being fast, responsive, and reliable — not just for emergencies, but for the day-to-day jobs that need doing quickly and properly.

As we head into 2026, we’re doubling down on what we believe is the future of property maintenance across Devon: reactiveness.

Here’s why it matters — and how we’re making it our mission to be the most reactive maintenance company from Exeter to South Hams.

Why Reactiveness Matters Now More Than Ever

Homeowners today expect the same speed and service they get from online retailers and takeaway apps. If your heating breaks, you want it sorted today, not “next Thursday.”

And it’s not just about comfort. In many cases, delays mean:

• More property damage

• Increased cost of repairs

• Greater disruption to family or tenants

• Loss of trust in the trades altogether

People don’t just want a good tradesperson anymore — they want one who shows up when they say they will. Quickly. Clearly. Without excuses.

What We’re Seeing Across Devon

Over the past 12 months, we’ve seen a growing number of:

• Landlords switching to us after slow responses elsewhere

• Homeowners needing same-day callouts for heating, drainage or electrics

• Local businesses needing fast solutions without red tape

And we’ve made sure we’re ready — with better systems, more availability, and a team focused on getting to the job faster than ever.

What Makes EPM Different

• We pick up the phone — no waiting on hold

• We offer clear, honest estimates — no faffing

• We arrive when we say we will — and we get it sorted

• We’re based locally — and cover the area from Exeter to Ivybridge, fast

In 2026, we’ll be expanding our team, increasing van stock, and rolling out new service options to handle even more reactive work across plumbing, heating, drainage, electrics and general maintenance.

A Final Word from EPM

We’re not trying to be the biggest. We’re aiming to be the fastest, the most trusted, and the team people turn to first — because they know we’ll show up and sort it.

If you live in Exeter, East Devon, or down to the South Hams, and want a maintenance company that puts speed, service, and simplicity first — you’ve found us.

We’re EPM. And 2026 is going to be our fastest year yet.
