Ability Property Services

What Ability Property Services does

Ability Property Services is an Irish private company providing nationwide property maintenance, building services, and facilities management to residential, commercial, and public-sector clients across all 28 counties. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Ballybane, Galway, with additional offices in Dublin and Cork, the company operates over 35 mobile teams supported by an in-house 24/7 helpdesk and a vetted network of approved local contractors. Service revenue is generated across four streams: planned and reactive maintenance (plumbing, heating, electrical, cleaning, security, landscaping, PAT testing); building services and fit-outs (property upgrades, property adaptations, industrial cleaning); SEAI-registered One Stop Shop energy upgrades (insulation, heat pumps, solar, BER certification); and managed facilities services including PSA-licensed security, grounds maintenance, and contract-based maintenance agreements.

The commercial model is sales-led, with direct relationship-based selling into Approved Housing Bodies, Local Authorities, Property Funds, nationwide landlords, retailers, and multi-site public-sector bodies. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, billed on a pay-as-you-go or project basis. Distribution relies on dedicated account management, an in-house dispatch helpdesk, and the mobile field workforce rather than digital self-service channels. Marketing is light-touch: an SEO-optimised website with location-specific service pages, organic LinkedIn and Instagram presence, an email newsletter, and earned media via industry news commentary.

The company's core technology layer is operational rather than productised: it comprises route-optimisation software to reduce travel time and carbon footprint, an in-house helpdesk platform for scheduling and emergency response, and trade certifications (RGII, OFTEC, Safe Electric, PSA, SEAI, and ISO 9001/14001/45001/45005) that function as regulatory moats and procurement prequalifications. There is no proprietary software product, app, or API offering, and no disclosed AI, machine-learning, or data-product capability. Scale signals include delivery of more than 3,500 boiler services and over 150 full property rewires annually, supported by an 8-person leadership team headed by Executive Director Declan Gorman and Director Aidan Diskin.
