What we do

Care & Repair offers a free advice service to older people and is tailored to individual needs.

We support older people to repair, adapt and maintain their homes, enabling them to live as independently as possible with increased safety, security, warmth and comfort.

We can offer advice and details of reputable contractors over the phone and we have a casework service where a caseworker can offer advice on the phone or visit you at home and discuss your housing issues.

We may be able to help with small items such as the installation of handrails, to major jobs such as bathroom adaptations or roof repairs.

This service is for people aged 60+.

Is there a charge to use this service?

Anyone over 60, living in Cardiff and The Vale, can contact us and ask for help.
