Help With Repairs for Windsor & Maidenhead Elderly & Disabled People

‘Repair With Care’ – A Service from The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead

The Repair With Care service is funded by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and operated on their behalf by Maidenhead and District Housing Association.

This Windsor & Maidenhead service helps elderly and disabled people to carry out repairs and improvements to their homes. The service also offers help to secure funding for essential work, advice on what improvements are available as well as helping to manage the instalment of any equipment.

The service is available to anyone with a disability or if you are aged 60 or over.
In order to take advantage of the service you must also be the home owner or private tenant living within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Repair With Care can arrange:

• General building works and minor repairs
• Adaptations to bathrooms and showers
• Installation of stair lifts
• House insulation

How Can You Use the Service?
• Contact a Member of the Repair with Care Team
• A member of the team will visit your home to discuss and identify your needs
• If you decide you would like to go ahead with any proposed ideas but cannot afford to pay for them, the team may apply for funding for the work to be carried out.
• If you do not take advantage of any proposals then you will NOT be charged for the advice provided by the team. If, however, the team does organise any work on your behalf, there will be a small fee to contribute towards the team's running costs. This can usually be included as part of any grant that covers the cost of work.

There is also a Handyman Service available for small DIY jobs around the house.
