Handyperson Service

Lochaber Handyperson Service will complete minor repairs, tasks and small jobs around the home in order to contribute to your well-being and safety. Our Service is available to people aged 65 or over, and to people living with a disability, across all tenures including home owners, privately rented tenants and Council and Housing Association tenants; although we cannot carry out repairs which are the responsibility of your landlord.

We do not charge for our labour or travel expenses, but you may have to make a contribution towards parts and materials as required. We will discuss any costs prior to works being carried out. Our Handyperson staff have been vetted by Disclosure Scotland and will show you their identification badge when they knock on your door.

We also fit 'Aids to Daily Living' such as grabrails and other items to help you to remain living independently in your own home in safety and comfort. We also install other types of equipment if Health and Social Care assess a need.

We also deliver and uplift Community Aids and Equipment loaned to people by Health and Social Care.

Unfortunately we cannot take on work that is normally undertaken by a skilled tradesperson, work on gas appliances or work which falls within the scope of NIC, EIC or SELECT (Electrical). We are also unable to undertake plumbing, decorating or gardening work.

We offer advice for people who need to arrange for their own tradesmen for larger repairs and we can refer clients to Care & Repair for assistance with eligible larger repairs & adaptations.
