Handyman service

Our handyman can provide a helping hand if you're a council housing tenant and any of the following things:

  • over 65
  • have a disability or vulnerability
  • living in sheltered accommodation or a hostel

Our handyman can support you with:

  • simple jobs or repairs, such as putting up shelves or curtain tracks
  • building flat pack furniture
  • installing a bathroom fitting
  • setting up your TV
  • other similar odd jobs around the house

You'll need to supply all the materials for the job, for example curtain tracks and nails.
