Small repairs
Anchor Staying Put has a Small Repairs Service for older people who own their own home and live in Newcastle or Gateshead. This has been set up to help people to carry out repairs to their property at an affordable price.
They have a team of Small Repairs Technicians who will visit you in your home and assess the work required. The type of work that they can help with includes minor joinery, plumbing and non-electrical mains work. They can also help with things like changing light bulbs and door handles. They charge a flat fee of £5 or £10 for each job that they carry out (depending on the size of the job), plus the cost of any materials that they purchase on your behalf.
For further information, call the Small Repairs Service at Anchor Staying Put on telephone number 0191 495 6177, or you can write to or email them using their main office contact details which are given below.
The Royal British Legion
The Poppy Calls service aims to help give veterans and members of the ex-Service community the freedom to stay independent in their own homes. This scheme is designed to offer help with awkward jobs such as minor repairs, or fitting essential devices such as smoke detectors and care phones.
Poppy Calls is offered to beneficiaries who qualify for assistance under The Royal Charter, which includes those who have served in the Armed Forces and their widows or dependents. Telephone 0800 032 0306 for further information.
