Home maintenance and gardening
There is help available with maintaining property for homeowners who would like to continue to live independently and safely in their own homes.
There are many service providers who can help with small home repairs and maintenance jobs and enable people to maintain their independence and live in safe homes.
Providers can help with things like electrical work, plumbing and drainage, home security, clearing rooms and lofts and organising home moves. They can also help with other small jobs such as putting up curtains, shelves and pictures, or re-hanging doors or tiling small areas.
You can visit our online service directory where you will find details of organisations that offer this type of service, and other services that will help you live independently: Handy help, repairs and gardening services
How to get in touch
You can contact any of the organisations direct, but if you are still unsure the Adult Social Care team will be able to advise you.
