Who we help

Older and disabled residents in Edinburgh

We’re here to help you remain independent within your own home for as long as you desire and are able. Our team can carry out those fiddly tasks that become more difficult as we get older such as changing light bulbs or building flatpack furniture. We can also fit grab rails and ramps and even help you fit a level access wetroom. And if we can’t do the work, we have a list of specially vetted Trusted Traders we can recommend. Our list of services is on the right.

Family, friends and globetrotting children

If you know an older person in Edinburgh, our services can help make their home more manageable. This can be especially useful if you’re not within easy distance to help yourself. Our Handyperson service can do those little jobs that become more tricky as we get older while our trades team can make more substantial improvements to the home. See our full range of services on the right.

Healthcare professionals

Our services can help speed up hospital discharge or provide the adaptations needed to prevent unintentional harm. We can fit grab rails, ramps and keysafes enable people to get home as soon as is practical. We can also help fit a level access wetroom. And if we can’t do the work ourselves, we have a list of specially vetted Trusted Traders we can recommend. Our list of services is on the right.

City of Edinburgh Residents

Care and Repair Edinburgh receives its core funding from the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership which comprises City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian.
We can therefore only provide support to older and disabled residents of City of Edinburgh Council postcodes. The postcodes we can provide services in are EH1 – EH17 all areas, EH21 Newcraighall only, and EH28-30. All other EH areas are excluded as they aren’t in the City of Edinburgh Council’s boundaries.
