Your Care & Repair Service is always here to help, even during this new way of life. We are taking calls and taking action, for people with various home repairs or maintenance needs.
Most recently an electrical fault meant an elderly lady had no lights or cooker until we arranged for an electrician to carry out some work, and a flood from upstairs had a disabled couple in a soggy situation while it leaked through their ceiling light fittings.
From a broken window to a leak from above, we know these household problems are still at the top of your list, so please call us if you need any help for a repair and we can arrange for one Officer to consider the best way forward with you.
The services offered by Care and Repair can:
- Help you to make informed decisions on how you can live independently
- Help you decide what repairs or improvements you need
- Help you find suitable contractors, surveys, drawing and quotations
- Help you fill in any grant application forms and any other paperwork required
- Identify and help you apply for grants from appropriate charities if required
- Be there for you when you need help

Small Repairs Service Survey
At Care and Repair in South Lanarkshire we are asked on a daily basis for assistance with small jobs that people need help with.
These jobs are generally too small for a Tradesperson to be interested in working on but are needed to enable people to continue to live comfortably in their own home.
We would like to start a Small Repairs Service that would address this need and would like to seek your views on this project. This Service would provide practical help with odd jobs and small repairs around the home, which you might find difficult if you are older or have a disability.
