Home repairs

Your home must provide a safe environment for those living in it. If you are a homeowner or a private tenant, you may be able to claim help towards making repairs, improvements or adaptations to your home. Gov.uk has more information about the disabled facilities grants. If you are looking for a reliable local trader, please see Find an approved trader with the Buy With Confidence scheme. Buy With Confidence is an approved register of businesses, which have been thoroughly vetted and approved by Trading Standards.

Grants are provided at the discretion of your local district or borough council. Contact the local authority housing or environmental health offices for details of what is available.

For more information about adaptations, please see Adaptations to your home.
