If anything went wrong and they happened to have not used suitably qualified workers then there would be some questions to be answered. Most of the workmen would be covered by some sort of liability insurance. If the problem was electric, gas, or some other regulated acitivity IME the bulk of minor maintenance work is water plumbing related or very minor electricals (eg. pendant fitting replacements). Much of the rest is minor carpentry and door furniture. Heating usually requires registered gas fitters. Things like decorating and dealing with damp etc. are usually scheduled to larger companies. A local managing estate agent will usually have a stack of 'repair blockeys' they know and will choose the one they think will best deal with the job. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.
