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 Trade Referral

This firm is included on the list of tradespeople maintained by Care and Repair Edinburgh to carry out work for local consumers where appropriate. They have been asked to provide references and relevant insurance and are believed to be reputable, but any contract is between the business and the consumer.

With effect from December 2015, Care & Repair Edinburgh is asking them to collect feedback from all of their customers so that consumers can see the type of work they normally carry out for all their clients, including work that is not for Care & Repair. This will help ensure that standards are maintained and will help consumers to judge which firm may be best suited to their needs.

Confederation of Aerial Industries

About: Formed in 1978 the Confederation represents installers, manufacturers, distributors & broadcast operators engaged in networking signals to all types of properties.

Membership: We are different from most trade bodies in that applicants for membership have to undergo an assessment to check they can achieve compliance to the CAI’s codes of practice & conduct which are recognised by broadcasters and government as best practice. By choosing a CAI member to advise or complete the work you require you are assured of competence & compliance.

Complaints: If a customer is unhappy with the standard of workmanship carried out by a CAI registered installer, or indeed is dissatisfied with an aspect of the job, and has been unable to resolve the problems with the Member concerned, the CAI has an official complaints procedure. The CAI will fully investigate any complaint that it receives against one of its Members and is empowered to impose sanctions on its Members if necessary.
