Home Adaptations and Assistance Policy - Home Safety and Handyperson services

Cumberland Home Improvement Agency manages Home Safety and Handyperson services, to provide a responsive service for minor repairs and adaptations. Minor repairs are defined as works which usually only require one person and can be completed in less than half a day.

These services are discretionary and depend on there being resources available at the time of application.

Such works can include:

  • carrying out a home safety check
  • minor safety works – dealing with trip hazards, such as loose flooring, or hazards impacting on getting into / out of the house (including door handles, gate latches, etc)
  • security improvements including changing locks, installing key safes or door spyholes
