Richmond Handyperson Scheme

For small repairs, Age Concern’s Richmond Handyperson Service supports residents over 65, unpaid carers and those with a long-term disability. It can assist 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). There is a charge for the service of £30 an hour plus materials, or £20 an hour plus materials for those receiving Pension Credit.
