About Us

AB Property Services was established by Andrew Barrett and provides a full range of trade services to the commercial, industrial, retail and domestic sectors.

Andrew Barrett has over 20 years experience in the building industry and in 1985 commenced a career in cabinet making, followed as a wood turner, then an apprenticeship in fitting and turning and finally an apprenticeship in roof slating and tiling which culminated in an industry award for best apprentice.

In establishing the company in 1999, Andrew sourced a quality and dedicated team of skilled and licensed trade staff including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roof slaters and tilers and locksmiths who have now contributed in building the company's strong reputation, leading most of their peers, if not all, in the area of reliability, service quality and commitment.   These appealing qualities are the reason AB Property Services is in constant demand by numerous property managers, corporate bodies and maintenance service providers and have driven them to a No. 1 rank as a preferred contractor to one of Australia's leading providers of quality building and asset maintenance services.

As a talented all-rounder Andrew quickly grasped and modeled the company's core functions around clients' needs: ‘doing the right job' and ‘getting the job right' - the ability to deliver unparalleled and timely service in providing quality workmanship without compromise.

For over 10 years, AB Property Services' professional trades team has been made available to the needs of over 4000 clients on a 24 hour basis for various work including but not limited to emergencies of all sorts, roofing, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, renovation, maintenance, demolition, painting, fence and gate construction, metal fabrication and welding.

AB Property Services' ability to provide a range of skill types and experience to property maintenance, emergency related services and brand new construction makes them a building and maintenance one-stop-shop - a business model providing clients with a cost effective solution to their building and maintenance needs - supported by a fleet of fully equipped service vehicles to minimize time wasting and additional travel time particularly when providing emergency services.

Providing an effective after hours' emergency service requires considerable experience, dedication and sensitivity. AB Property Services recognize the urgency and importance of responding to an emergency and efficiently securing a site which has been damaged by fire, water, accident or by intention. To that end, the company guarantees to be on site within two hours of any emergency call where the security of the premises has been compromised and/or to prevent further damage.

AB Property Services is located in Kensington, an inner suburb of Melbourne, with offices located in Cranbourne, Dandenong, Diamond Creek, East Burwood, Gembrook, Noble Park, North Balwyn, Preston, Ringwood North and Spotswood. In Victoria they have been known to travel as far west as Ballarat, south to the Peninsula and Barwon Heads, east to Leongatha and Seymour in the north to attend emergency jobs. The AB Property Services network of licensed trades people also extend into Sydney where clients have also been able to experience and enjoy a quality and reliable service.
