Building a better, safer community
Celia Street
Residents’ Association
A FREE handyman service is offering a helping hand to all older residents in Liverpool.
The service will fit security chains, locks and bolts, fix floorboards, fit shelves,
unblock sinks and replace fuses -
The initiative was thought up by council staff in conjunction with Age Concern and housing associations to help older people continue to live independently in their own home. It is available to everyone over 50 regardless of whether people are homeowners or living in rented accommodation.
Anyone wanting to book a job in the north of the city can ring Arena on 261 0301 or Liverpool Housing Trust on 708 2410 to book an appointment with a handyman.
Those in central, south central and eastern Liverpool can contact the Riverside Group on 295 6240 and those in south Liverpool should contact South Liverpool Housing on 285 5690.
If an officer is not available then leave your name, address and phone number and they will call back.
A handyman will call out to the resident's home to advise on the parts needed, and make an appointment for the work to be carried out.
The handyman will always carry an ID card which should be checked before allowing anyone into your home.
