We have a friendly and experienced team who will work with you to help you to apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant for adaptations, or apply for a Minor Works Grant or Renovation Loan for repairs.

Care and Repair specialise in organising adaptations, for example level access showers or extensions to provide sleeping, showering, bathing and toilet facilities.  The staff work closely with the occupational therapists, draw plans, arrange planning applications, obtain contractors’ quotations and inspect the building work.

Our caseworkers will visit you in their your home to give you free confidential advice on repairs, adaptations and improvements to your home.

We are available to individuals, relations, carers or professionals such as Occupational Therapists or social workers.

Care and Repair Services assist elderly, disabled and vulnerable people in East Cambridgeshire to organise building related works to their own homes that will allow them to remain living independently, safely and comfortably.

• There is no charge for our advice.
• The Agency charges fees if building works are organised, but any such charges will be agreed with the client before work commences.
• If the client is paying the cost is usually 5% of building costs.

The Agency will organise applications for financial help for the building costs and fees, where clients are eligible. Most jobs carried out by the Agency receive financial support.
