 | What does it do?The agency offers a range of services including a Small Repairs Service (small jobs provided at low cost such as fitting grab rails, minor repairs or putting up shelves to help older or vulnerable people to stay safe, secure and comfortable in their own homes) and a Core Service (information and practical support to help people in respect of larger home repairs, improvements, maintenance or adaptations). |
Who it is for: Older, disabled or vulnerable people who live in Cheshire West and Chester. | Where it is available: Local service covering: Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Vale Royal (Cheshire). | What it costs: For our Small Repairs Service - £10/hr + cost of materials; Minor Adaptations in the former Vale Royal area are free to customer but the referral needs to be made by an OT; Falls Prevention adaptations in the former Chester and Ellesmere Port & Neston areas are free to customer but the referral needs to be made by Age UK.
For our core service (major adaptations) our initial advice is free but we charge 10% of the per-VAT cost of the works; for support we give customers in respect of Disabled Facilities Grants or Equity Loans (in partnership with the Council); the cost of the work may be covered by the grant or loan dependent on circumstance. | How to access or apply for it: Telephone: 0151 355 1313 (Ellesmere Port office) or 01606 590893 (Winsford office). | What to expect then: Someone will be in touch to take some details and then make an appointment to go round and either do the work (Small Repairs) or discuss our service and what we can offer (core service). | Classification(s): Home maintenance, Home improvement agencies | Info last updated: 20/02/2012. |
