Repair at Your Service

Our newest project at The Furniture Project is Repair at Your Service, which provides a range of repairs and services to the most vulnerable members of our community such as

  • Home Safety and fall prevention measures
  • Odd jobs e.g. replacing light bulbs, resetting clocks/thermostats
  • Cleaning and washing
  • External maintenance e.g. garden clearance, leaf collecting, painting fences/sheds
  • Removal/disposal of small household items and green/general waste
  • Home security measures e.g. locks, wireless alarms, key safes
  • Small DIY job tasks e.g. flat packed furniture, putting up shelves

Our project gives support to those living in isolation, on a low income, families with support needs, retired or disabled helping people with odd jobs, small repairs and maintenance tasks they are unable to carry out themselves.

The project has been funded by The National Lottery People’s Project and kindly supported by Carrs Billington. It runs weekly on a Monday and Tuesday and one Saturday each month and currently operates within:

  • Stranraer
  • Kirkcolm
  • Leswalt
  • Portpatrick
  • Lochans

The first job at each address labour will be provided free of charge (subject to terms and conditions)
