Care & Repair Edinburgh

Affordable DIY and repairs for older and disabled residents

Care & Repair Edinburgh 

Care & Repair Edinburgh provides a wide range of practical services to help older and disabled people repair, improve, and adapt their homes. Our aim is to support individuals to live independently, comfortably, and safely in their own homes for as long as possible. 

Who We Support 

We receive core funding from the Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership (a joint initiative between the City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian).
Because of this, our services are available to older and disabled residents who pay council tax to the City of Edinburgh Council. 

For nearly 40 years, we have supported Edinburgh residents aged 60 and over, completing more than 6,000 jobs every year across the city.

  • Key safes installation

  • Interlinked fire alarm installation 
  • Paid handyperson service for small household tasks 
  • Minor electrical repairs
