Care & Repair’s main service is the adaptation and repair of our client’s homes. We offer a ‘holistic’ service which means that we try to help clients in all aspects of their lives including ensuring they are receiving all the benefits that they are entitled to and to help them in both the social and personal aspect.
These adaptations can help our clients to not only access their bathing and toilet facilities but also in some instances to access their homes safely.
These include:
- Level access showers
- Stairlifts
- Ramps
- Door widening
- Lifts and hoists
The repairs available can ensure a home is safe and secure enough for a client to remain living there.
Examples of repair work which will be considered are:
- Roof repairs
- Damp proofing

What is included in our service?
We provide a ‘holistic’ service. This means we try to help clients not just in relation to specific works they have in mind, but also in relation to other work, intervention or assistance which they would benefit from. This can include signposting to other organisations who can assist in areas that we can’t.
