Handy Van

The Derbyshire Handy Van Network is open to people who are 60 and over or who have been referred by one of our partner organisations.
You can phone us and ask for the van to visit your home and get help with the following:
- home fire safety checks
- checking and fitting smoke alarms
- home security checks
- energy efficiency advice
We can also help with practical tasks such as:
- changing light bulbs
- securing carpets and rugs
- removing or hanging curtains
- checking stair rails are secure and appropriate
- installing key safes
- path and door access clearance
- securing tap washers to reduce dripping taps.
Unfortunately we can not offer an emergency service for plumbing or electrical problems.
With your permission we can also make referrals to our partners for additional services and support that may benefit you, for example Telecare Installations.
The Handy Van service is available Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm, just call the Home Improvement Agency to request a visit. Each household will be able to access this free service twice a year.
The Handy Van scheme partners are:
