Services available (National/regional service):
If you live in Camden, you may benefit from the Handyperson Service to help with minor repairs and maintenance, or Home Adaptation and Grants Service to help make your home more accessible.
Home Adaptation and Grants Service
This is for people who live in Camden and have a disability. It helps them to:
Adapt their home so they can keep living independently. Adaptations could include a level access shower, stair lift, ceiling track hoist and access.
Apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant to pay for the works – depending on your income, you may need to pay towards the cost of the work to your home.
We can help you whether you live in a housing association property, rent your home from a private landlord or own your home.
You do not need to be an MTVH resident to use this service.
How it works
This is the process:
You’ll need a referral from an Occupational Therapist. If you need a referral, self-refer to Camden Council’s Adult Social Care on 020 7974 4000 and pick option 1, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
Our surveyor will draw up a design based on your Occupational Therapist’s recommendations.
We’ll find the right builder to complete the works and manage the project for you until they’re finished.
