Handyperson Service
We do appreciate this service as there are jobs we cannot now do. Your volunteer is a gem and we do enjoy his visits.
The Care and Repair Edinburgh Handyperson Service is free and is carried out by a team of experienced volunteers. The volunteers can carry out a range of DIY jobs in clients' homes. The Handyperson volunteers are from a variety of backgrounds: some are working, others are retired, but all wish to help our clients.
The volunteers have a wide range of skills and we have both male and female team members.
Our team of volunteers will carry out the following types of jobs:
- Changing lightbulbs
- Fitting carbon monoxide detectors and batteries
- Fitting plugs and changing fuses
- Hanging pictures and photographs
- Fitting curtain rails and hanging/changing curtains
- Fitting door chains, viewers, doorbells etc
- Offering advice on home safety and security
The Handyperson was very efficient-it’s the quickest time that my curtains were taken down and new ones put up, in next to no time!
The Handyperson service is free – you will only be charged for the materials used by the volunteer to undertake the job.

The Handyperson Service offers a FREE home safety/security check and we will install a range of security items if required.
