Handyperson Service

Our FREE Handyperson Service

The Handyperson Service is provided by us for our tenants and delivered by Glasgow Care & Repair.

The Service provides practical assistance by carrying out small repairs and tasks around the home.  

The labour is FREE OF CHARGE - payment is only required for any materials required to be purchased by the Handyperson.  Materials could be items like a light bulb, shelf, wireless doorbell, towel rail or curtain pole. The Handyperson can purchase these items for you or you may wish to provide them yourself. 

There are also many jobs you may require which do not require materials, such as moving furniture from one room to another or moving large items outside for uplift (arranging the uplift is the responsibility of tenants), turning heavy mattresses, changing curtains, changing time on clocks and central heating timers, replacing a washer, light shades, adjusting roller blinds, plane internal doors after new carpets fitted, fix loose hinges on cupboard doors or re-seal around the bath. 

Some small jobs around the garden may be carried out such as repairing locks on huts, gates, hanging flower baskets or supplying and fitting an external grab rail (not bannisters).

Glasgow Care & Repair can also provide signposting to tenants looking for a local contractor for jobs such as:  connecting washing machines, painting and decorating or building flat pack furniture.

To check whether you are eligible for the service, contact Glasgow Care & Repair.  Generally you require to be aged 65 years or over or have a long term illness or disability – Glasgow Care & Repair will provide full details on this.
