Minor Repairs · Summer 2023

Multi-Trade Property Maintenance

A full day of minor property repairs was carried out for a low-income family — including carpentry, basic plumbing and patch plastering — addressing issues that had been outstanding for over two years.

I couldn't believe what they achieved in one day. The garden looks wonderful and I can finally get outside again. I am so grateful.
