How we can help:

Small repairs and maintenance: We provide practical help where the issue affects your safety, security, dignity, or the energy-efficiency of your home.

Free safety equipment: Installing grab rails, banister rails, and carpet trims.

Home safety check: If you are new to our services, you are eligible for a free home safety visit to check for any needed repairs or support, identify trip hazards, and refer you on if further assistance is required.

If you are unsure whether we can help, please get in touch anyway. This service is free, you only pay for the costs of the materials needed to complete the work.

Hospital Discharge Handyperson Service

We accept referrals from all Manchester hospitals to enable the safe discharge of patients and prevent avoidable hospital readmissions.

In addition to our standard safety adaptations, this service includes fitting key safes and moving furniture to accommodate medical equipment.

Home Repairs Support

If you own your home and you are planning larger repairs, renovations, or adaptations, we’ll provide you with free advice and support throughout the process.

Free technical support and supervision

Our Technical Officers can help you get competitive quotes from reputable contractors; draw up a schedule of works so it’s clear what the contractor should do; and supervise and inspect the work if you decide to go ahead with it

Understand your funding options

We can help you understand your funding options and check whether you are eligible for any loans or grants. This may include grants for things like boiler replacement, major repairs, essential white goods, and furniture, for people most in need.

Protect yourself from rogue traders

If you want to proceed independently with your works, we can provide you with details from our list of trusted contractors. We vet and interview all contractors on the list and ask for feedback on their work.

Our advice is always free.
