Islington’s handypersons’ scheme provides help with small repairs around the home. These might be things that the council’s repair service or a landlord would not normally cover:

- Electrical  works e.g. fix loose sockets, replace light fitting, fit additional phone socket
- Home maintenance e.g. fitting curtain rails or shelves, assembling flat pack furniture, fixing problems with doors and windows
- Plumbing e.g. plumbing in washing machines, repair of leaks in pipe work, replacement taps and fittings
- Security e.g. door and window locks, fitting spyholes and chains, hinge bolts

This is not an exhaustive list. Please contact the team to find out if the repair you require is covered by the scheme.
