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.
