Islington Council Handyperson Scheme

The Islington Council Handyperson service is for older residents & those with a disability. Carers in receipt of Carer’s Allowance or Direct Payments can also use the service. You do not need to live in a council property to be eligible. However, the service does not cover repairs that are the responsibility of a landlord.
