Handyperson service

​

For many older people, simple jobs such as changing a lightbulb, configuring a remote control or DIY can become a barrier to them feeling safe living at home.

​

That is where our handyperson services can make a difference.

​

We have a team of handyperson volunteers in all of our locations who have gone through our training and can support older people in their homes by carrying out a range of tasks including:

​

• Changing lightbulbs;

• Changing curtains;

• Fitting curtain rails or shelves;

• Cleaning insides of windows;

• Turning mattresses;

• Replacing batteries;

• Changing timers; and

• Doing small DIY tasks.

​

We can also take on larger jobs such as fitting keysafes, building flatpack furniture or fit new smoke alarms at very competitive rates, as well as help people find trustworthy tradespersons.

​

If you could do with some help, know someone who might need it, or have a few hours to spare and want to become a volunteer handyperson, call us on 0141 641 5169 or email us at
