What people say

Telephone call was dealt with promptly and advice given. It was reassuring to use a contractor that was recommended

It is so reassuring to know the trade people are vetted. Also, as always, the tradesman who came did a class job.

The hand rail at our back doorstep is just what we needed. The work was carried out promptly and efficiently by a pleasant worker. We are totally satisfied.

Calum is a very personable and competent young man. He listened carefully to the problem and fixed it. Can’t ask for more.

Very efficient service both on the telephone and by the joiner who came by to fit the keysafe. very impressed.

The key box was placed exactly where we wanted it to be put, with a maximum of efficiency and a minimum of fuss. You run a very good service which is greatly appreciated.

Alan is a gentleman. I’ve had him before and found him to be very helpful and willing to go the extra mile, by asking is there anything else I need done. This is an excellent service

Response from Care & Repair was prompt. Melvyn (volunteer) was caring and competent. A delightful man actually. I am so pleased that Care & Repair exists!
