Homelink is our home adaptation service that can help you stay independent.
This service is run by our Homelink team, who provide home adaptations. The handyperson can carry out minor adaptations and repairs to make you feel safer and more secure at home.
You must be the owner-occupier of your property or live with a relative to use this service. For tenants, we can only help if the work would normally be your responsibility, rather than your landlord’s.
Appointments can be made for a morning or afternoon on an agreed date. We do not provide an out of hours service, emergency service or specific appointment times.

Our handyperson service does not make a profit, but it does need to cover its operational costs. As a result, some of its work is subject to a charge. Contact us to enquire about individual charges.
