Home maintenance

Home maintenance services are those which can help elderly people deal with the need for internal and external home repairs, improvements and adaptations. Home Improvement Agencies, also known as Care & Repair services, offer help with repairs, adaptations and improvements to older people - particularly those who are home owners or private tenants on low incomes. Elderly disabled people also sometimes need help to maintain their garden, or undertake small household jobs like changing taps or light fittings, putting up shelves or curtain rails, or replacing door or window locks.
