Looking after your home
You may need help looking after your home to make sure it's safe. This could be small or big repairs, or keeping your house tidy.
There are different services and support available depending on your situation. For example, your age, your income, or if you have a disability.
We recommend:
- You make sure you choose a reputable trader/handy person to carry out any work. Check they've got the correct qualifications. You can also ask other people who they think are good.
- You check who pays for repairs and maintenance. For example, if you rent or live in social housing, you may not be responsible for some work. Check with your landlord or social housing provider.
Small repairs and jobs
Small repairs and jobs could be fixing a dripping tap or replacing a light bulb.
Services will vary in what they offer, so check their websites for details. Some of these services may be free if you meet the criteria.
