How the service works

Before support commences, one of our friendly Handymen will visit you in your home to discuss the service and to understand your requirements. Once it has been agreed that our service is right for you, we will book a one off, or ongoing appointment with your allocated Handyman at a set day and time who will support you as per your needs.

All of our Handymen each have excellent references and have been checked through the Disclosure and Barring Service. We will regularly monitor the work carried out to ensure that you are happy with our service.

Any surplus income from Help at Home is used to support the work of the charity with older people.

Home Energy Checks

If you are struggling to keep warm this winter, get in touch with us for a home energy check. We can help by making sure your home is energy efficient.
What happens during a home energy check?
One of our experienced handypersons will visit your home to:
• Discuss and assess your heating patterns, health needs and home environment
• Install simple energy efficiency equipment, such as draught excluders around doors and windows, radiator panels and foils
• Give some key tips and advice and distribute relevant information guides on how to keep warm and save energy
• Provide information on other support services, depending on your needs.
Who is eligible?
This service is free and operates between October 2024 to the 10th of March 2025. The service is available to older people who are finding it difficult to keep their homes warm and are therefore at risk of cold-related illnesses. This could include people who are struggling to pay their bills, who are in fuel debt, who have no heating, or don’t know how to work their heating controls.
