Richmond Handyperson Scheme

For small repairs, Age Concern’s Richmond Handyperson Service supports residents of over 60 years of age or who have a disability. It assists with any practical job that helps an older or disabled person, such as repairing a curtain rail, fitting new or replacement locks, changing a light bulb if you are not confident on a pair of steps, and changing tap washers. It can also fit a key safe (available to buy from Handyperson), and offers a garden tidy-up service, and a safety and security check. There is a charge for this service of £30 for up to two hours’ work, plus a call-out charge of £5. All materials are charged at cost price except for materials that have been donated to us, which are supplied free of charge.

Telephone: 020 8876 0620.
