Age Concern

What is the Handyperson Scheme? The scheme provides Handypersons to carry out small repairs and jobs around the home. Help is available to Portsmouth residents living in the postal codes PO1-PO6, who are over the age of 59 and are unable to manage for themselves. The scheme operates Monday to Friday. An appointment to visit you at a convenient time will be made. Tenant or owner-it doesn’t matter! You could need a light bulb changed or some curtains putting up. No matter how small the job we can help you. Handypersons are fully insured. We provide a prompt and friendly service. All handypersons carry and show identity cards. How much will it cost? There is a minimum call out charge of £10 pound which includes the first hour. There after you will be charged of £5 per hour. We try and complete all jobs within the hour but if we take longer you will be charged accordingly. All donations that we receive will be put back into the Handyperson scheme. The donations will help to towards the running costs which include our van, volunteer expenses and staff costs. You can of course make larger donations if you so wish, which would be most welcome
