About Upkeep

Upkeep is for the homeowner who knows the boiler needs a service and can't remember when it last had one. A house has a dozen jobs that come round every few months or years, and the reminder, when there is one, never says which filter to buy. Upkeep starts from a proposed schedule for your type of house and records the date, the part and a photo each time a job is done. The next reminder names that part, and the whole history prints as a PDF for a buyer or a surveyor.

What it does

What does Upkeep do?

  • A schedule to start from

    Pick your type of house and Upkeep proposes the jobs and how often to do them. Untick whatever doesn't apply.

    /house/due
    Upkeep: What's due

  • Reminders with the part number

    Each reminder names the filter or part you used last time, so you can buy it on the way home.

    /house/t/[id]
    Upkeep: One job

  • Seasonal jobs

    Jobs like "before the first frost" are tied to a month and remind you early in it.

    /house/record
    Upkeep: The record
The problem

What problem does it solve?

A house has a dozen jobs that come round every few months or years: the boiler, the smoke alarms, the filter under the sink. Few people write them down. When a reminder does arrive it doesn't say which part to buy, so the job waits for another weekend.

How the demo handles it

Upkeep proposes a schedule from your type of house, so nobody starts with a blank list. Marking a job done takes a date, and the part number from last time is already filled in. Each record feeds the next reminder and adds to the house's history. Overdue jobs stay on the list, without a daily email about them.

  • Quick to mark done

    Only the date is required, and last time's part number is already filled in.

  • Before and after photos

    Photos are shrunk on the phone before upload, which also strips their location data.

  • The history as a PDF

    Every job, date, part and photo in one document, ready for a buyer or a surveyor.

Why is it built this way?

  • Overdue stays overdue

    A missed job keeps its due date and stays on the list until it's done. It never quietly slides to later.

  • The next date counts from when you did it

    A boiler serviced two months late is next due a full year after that service.

  • You can't mark a job as fine yourself

    A job's status is worked out from its history by a nightly job, and the database won't let a user change it.

  • One reminder per job

    Each due date sends one email. An overdue job doesn't email you again every morning.
