Yes! Most of our corporate Clients have an-house maintenance team and use MrFix on an incidental basis when:
- The job requires specialist skills that your team lacks
- Your team members are occupied on other jobs
- The required team member is ill
- The team member is on holiday (in Holland that happens a lot around the Christmas & Easter holidays and especially during the so-called ‘Bouwvak‘, the traditional 3 weeks of builders’ holiday in mid-Summer
And yes: we can help you in emergencies too. There is a 50% surcharge for jobs that must start:
- in the evening/night (from 6 PM to 6 AM)
- on weekends
- on public holidays
- urgently (within 24 hours)
These surcharges do not accumulate, so there is never a 100% or 150% surcharge. If the job can also be done during the daytime, there is no surcharge if the expert chooses to do it in the evening or during the weekend.
Yes, you can use our contractors on a (more) permanent basis. For example, one of our experts does regular repairs in the rooms of an Amsterdam hotel every Monday. And a manager of a luxury apartment block has used MrFix to find a jack-of-all-trades who works from the porter’s lodge two days a week and does all small repairs in the 60-plus apartments. If you would like to discuss the options please call +31 20 675 0333 and ask for Michiel.
Yes, corporate Clients can normally offset the Value Added Tax (VAT) on MrFix’s invoices against the VAT they charge on their own invoices, so they effectively do not pay VAT. This goes for Dutch companies but not for VvEs (Verenigingen van Eigenaren, associations of apartment owners), which cannot offset VAT.

Yes, we serve many embassies, Government entities and international organisations.

Several of our experts (particularly in The Hague) can share their VOG if you wish.
