Care and Repair - Value for Money

The Tandridge Care and Repair Agency helps older and disabled people remain in their own homes.

For a reasonable cost council handymen carry out small repairs and minor alterations to Council and private homes in the district. Things like gutter clearing, outting up shelves or assembling flat pack furniture that most of us take for granted. Last year 962 handyman jobs were carried out.

This is an example of where a local unbureaucractic initiative manages to make a difference to the lives of hundreds of people every year at a very reasonable cost.
