| Care and Repair Care
and Repair Daventry and South Northamptonshire offers an advisory
service for elderly or disabled homeowners. Our staff offer practical
advice and guidance to people who need repairs or improvements to
their properties to enable them to continue living in comfort and
security in their own homes.
Care and Repair staff work predominantly with
older and disabled homeowners. There is a unique opportunity for
Care and Repair to promote better awareness of energy saving and
efficiency together with the latest security and safety issues.
In both these areas, through the Safe ‘n’
Sound project, Care and Repair will offer advice and guidance, visiting
clients in their own home.
Care and Repair is able to obtain funding for
specific schemes (subject to financial assessment) and also direct
clients to other forms of assistance.
Together with the other partners in Safe ‘n’
Sound, and our Handy Person Service, we are able to supply and install
security measures that may include the following:-
- Door chains
- Window locks
- Smoke detectors
- Intercom systems
Due to our extensive use of local contractors
to carry out repair and improvement works, which includes vetting
and quality monitoring of contractors, Care and Repair is ideally
placed to co-ordinate the implementation of targeted one off schemes
aimed at assisting crime prevention measures.
The advice of Care and Repair is free but
if private building work is organised a small fee will be charged.
