Home Improvement Agencies

Home Improvement Agency services are sometimes known as HIA's, Care and Repair or staying put schemes. Home Improvement Agencies are local not-for-profit organisations to assist eldery people, repair, maintain, or adapt their home. HIAs provide advice and information for home owners and private tenants and they will check to ensure what benefits and grants you may be entitled to. They can visit you at home, work closely with other agencies involved, help to identify reputable tradespeople to undertake works and oversee the work.
