Home Improvement Agency Information
If you are responsible for repairs to your home, either as a home owner or a tenant, we want to help you.
We try to promote and support independent living, to enable people to remain in their own homes in comfort and security. We offer advice and support regarding home improvements, repairs and adaptations.
We can help to put you in touch with recommended builders to protect you from cowboy builders and try to find financial assistance to help people who would otherwise struggle to pay for vital repairs. Our scheme is focused on providing assistance to:
- People living in conditions that are potentially dangerous or harmful to their health.
- People with disabilities, or anyone coping with a long-term illness.
- Those receiving benefits.
We offer practical advice on any repairs, improvements or adaptations that you need, such as wiring, heating, draught-proofing/insulation, damp and replacement windows and doors. Our service provides a caseworker assigned to work on a one-to-one basis who will support you through the whole process.
For more information please go to the Warwickshire Accessible Housing website.
How does the Home Improvement Agency work?
We will assist you by finding the most appropriate solution for your financial circumstances.
We work closely with other service providers and with your permission can put you in touch with them. We can also arrange for a basic benefits check if required.
We can also discuss a variety of housing options and various means of financial assistance, including self funding.
We will help you to obtain competitive quotes from reputable contractors. All of the work done on your home will be monitored, ensuring that you are satisfied with everything, from start to finish.
All our advice is free and confidential. In some cases there may be a fee for the service, which you will be told about before deciding if you want to proceed. We don't want anyone to be deterred from using our service, so if you're unable to afford to pay anything we can do all that we can to help if there are genuine difficulties.
