Handyperson Scheme
We aim to ensure people are safe in their homes and are not at risk of tripping or falling.
Our Handyperson can:
- Replace light bulbs
- Ease doors and windows
- Make loose carpet and flooring safe
- Fit smoke alarms and batteries
- Fit door chains and minor security measures
- Fit grab rails and hand rails
- Install key safes
- Make tripping hazards safe
If you require work which is not covered by the Handyperson Scheme we may be able to assist with details of a reliable contractor you can contact.
Our Promise
We will do our best to react quickly but unfortunately we do not offer an emergency or out of hours service.
Is there a charge for the Handyperson Scheme?
The Handyperson's labour is free of charge, but you will be charged for the cost of any necessary materials.
We also welcome donations to assist with the funding and continuation of the scheme.
