    Professional Airbnb Management In Cardiff

    Property management for Airbnb and Booking.com rentals requires local expertise and reliable contractors. Whether you're managing a single property or multiple short-term rentals in Cardiff, you need someone who can handle maintenance issues quickly and professionally.

    Graphite Host provides comprehensive property management in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Barry and Penarth. Our network of trusted, vetted local tradespeople ensures your Airbnb and Booking.com property is always guest-ready. We coordinate everything on your behalf – you don't need to chase contractors or manage multiple phone calls.

    How We Protect Your Property

    Comprehensive maintenance coordination that keeps your property in excellent condition.

    Maintenance Coordination

    We coordinate all repairs and maintenance through our network of trusted, vetted local tradespeople. From plumbing issues to appliance repairs, we handle it all.

    Emergency Coordination

    Guests reach a person through our 24/7 human guest communications, so an urgent problem is reported as it happens. We then arrange the repair with our network of local tradespeople — we don't promise a specific callout time.

    Damage Protection

    We handle damage claims with platforms like Airbnb on your behalf, documenting issues and ensuring you're properly compensated.

    Regular Inspections

    Scheduled property inspections between guests to identify and address maintenance issues before they become problems.

    Comprehensive Maintenance Approach

    Reactive Maintenance

    Quick response to urgent issues reported by guests or identified during stays. We coordinate immediate repairs to minimise disruption.

    Preventative Maintenance

    Scheduled inspections and maintenance to prevent problems before they occur. Regular checks of heating, plumbing, and appliances.

    Turnover Inspections

    Property checks between guests to identify any damage, missing items, or maintenance needs before the next arrival.

    Our Trusted Network

    We work exclusively with vetted, insured local tradespeople across the five areas we cover. All work is coordinated through us, ensuring quality standards are met and you're kept informed throughout the process.

    Damage Claims Management

    Guest damage happens occasionally in short-term rentals. When it does, we handle the entire claims process on your behalf through platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com.

    We document the damage with photos, coordinate repairs through our trusted network, and submit claims to ensure you're properly compensated. You don't need to deal with the stress or paperwork.

    Document

    We photograph and document all damage with detailed evidence for claims.

    Repair

    We coordinate immediate repairs to get your property guest-ready again.

    Claim

    We submit and manage the entire claims process with the platform.

    Emergency Coordination

    Maintenance problems don't keep to business hours. Whether it's a burst pipe or a broken boiler in winter, a guest can report it to a person straight away through our 24/7 human guest communications, so the problem reaches us when it happens rather than the next morning.

    We have established relationships with tradespeople in the areas we cover who take on urgent short-let work. Availability varies with the trade and the time of day, so we don't promise a specific callout time — we arrange the work as soon as someone can attend and keep you and the guest updated while we do.

    How repairs are approved and charged

    Up to £250: we approve the work ourselves, so a small fault doesn't sit waiting on an email. Above £250 we come to you first — with one exception: where there is an urgent risk to guest safety or of damage to the property and we can't reach you, we may authorise the necessary work.

    What it costs: we pay the third-party supplier and bill you the exact supplier cost. No markup, no admin fee. Safety inspections and certificates are coordinated where they're needed and re-billed the same way.

    Common Emergency Situations We Handle:

    •Heating system failures
    •Plumbing leaks and blockages
    •Lock-outs and security issues
    •Electrical problems
    •Appliance breakdowns
    •Property access issues

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need planning permission for an Airbnb in Cardiff?

    It depends on the exact location and usage. Cardiff Council has rules regarding the change of use from a primary residence (C3) to a short-term holiday let (C6). We recommend consulting with the council, especially if your property is let for more than 182 days a year.

    Which areas in Cardiff perform best for Airbnb?

    Cardiff Bay and the City Centre are highly lucrative due to corporate and event-driven demand (like Principality Stadium events). Pontcanna and Roath are also very popular for premium stays and visiting professionals.

    How do you handle late-night emergency maintenance?

    A guest can reach a person at any hour through our 24/7 human guest communications, so a broken boiler or a lockout in the middle of the night is reported to us straight away rather than sitting until morning. We then arrange a tradesperson from our local network. We don't promise a fixed callout time, and overnight availability depends on the trade involved.
