Care & Repair

Care and repair is a free and confidential client orientated service available to home owners over 60 or registered disabled. Private tenants may also qualify (when not the responsibility of a landlord).

Care and repair offers advice and assistance to maintain or repair the home in order that people can live in comfort in their own community.

Care and repair now offers:

• Advice and assistance
• Small repairs
• Home safety security
• A new service: Preventative repairs

The service provides advice, or on invitation our officers will carry out home visits to discuss what works may be needed.

Following the visit we can help by:

• Organising small repairs
• Giving advice or assistance
• Organising surveys or drawings to be prepared if necessary
• Obtaining estimates from reliable contractors (from our own approved contractors list)
• Providing financial assistance for preventative works should they meet the criteria (subject to financial assessment)
• Identifying and organising for home safety and security measures
• Referral to other agencies who may be able to assist

To arrange a visit or further information please contact the Association on 01290 428011 or 01290 428013. Alternatively you can contact us by letter, email or using the ‘contact us’ on this site.
