Care and Repair Edinburgh

Care and Repair provide a wide range of practical services and advice to assist elderly and disabled people in Edinburgh to live in their own homes in more comfort, security and with greater independence. The services include work which may be carried out either by our in-house teams of volunteers and experts, or by our trade referrals service.

If the work you need cannot be done by our in-house services, we can give you the names of contractors who can help. The tradespeople on our list have been asked to provide references and relevant insurance. They are independent contractors who will carry out the work for you. We do not set charges and the contract is between the contractor and yourself.

Care and Repair Edinburgh In-house Team

Our in-house teams carry out a variety of work such as Handyperson Service, Home from Hospital Service and Small Repairs Service. The volunteers can carry out a range of DIY and Technical jobs in clients' homes. The Handyperson volunteers are from a variety of backgrounds: some are working, others are retired, but all wish to help our clients. The volunteers have a wide range of skills and we have both male and female team members. We appreciate your feedback about the work that they carry out for you.
