How it works

One defect. One thread. Everyone aligned.

Watch a defect move through Defectly - the card alongside updates as each step scrolls into view.

Report

Report the defect

Log the defect in seconds: photos, location, and severity captured in a structured report. No vague texts, no lost emails. The defect gets a unique reference, a timestamp, and a home.

Assign

Assign and coordinate

Review the report, request quotes from rated local contractors, and approve the best one. Scheduling, quotes, and messages all live on the defect - not in five different inboxes.

Resolve

Resolve and verify

The contractor completes the work and uploads after photos. You verify the fix, everyone is notified automatically, and a complete time-stamped record remains - from first report to final sign-off.

Who it is for

Built for everyone in the property chain

One defect involves an owner, an occupier, a manager, and a trade. Defectly gives each of them the same clear picture.

Why Defectly

Everything you need to manage property defects

From a single rental to a portfolio of hundreds, Defectly keeps defect reporting, tracking, and resolution organised and transparent.

Log defects clearly

Report defects with photos, descriptions, and categories. Every defect gets a unique reference number and full audit trail.

Full visibility

See the status of every defect at a glance. No more chasing emails or wondering what happened to that repair request.

Find and assign contractors

Search contractors by trade, location, and rating. Assign work directly or request competitive quotes, all from the defect.

Keep everyone updated

Comments, status changes, and notifications keep all parties informed. No more communication black holes.

Evidence and documentation

Attach photos at every stage. Before, during, and after: build a clear visual record of each defect and its resolution.

Rate and review

Review contractors after work is completed. Build a trusted network of reliable trades for future work.

The difference

Stop losing track of property defects

The same leaking tap. Two very different weeks.
