DIY Help Please

[missgotty]

Is there anyone kind enough to volunteer/help an elderly disabled women living in Islington, London to put up a chest of drawers flat pack and fix one of the drawers? Her current chest of drawers has been broken for some time and I am trying to find someone to help her. Please pm if you can.

Many thanks,

There's a Mobility Repair Service in Islington that does this sort of thing. It's quite cheap. Google it. Or if you have a copy of Islington Life the details are in there. I threw away my copy.

Failing that contact your local Age Concern or ask for help on Freecycle.

Thanks I've tried the mobile repair service, the first time they showed up late and without the right tools, I had to direct them to the nearest DIY store to get the tools but they didn't have time to finish the job. The second time I waited all day but the repair guy didn't show up at all so I won't be calling them again. The search continues.....

Wow. My mum has used MRS' plumber a few times. They have her an am/pm appointment and rang an hour before they came to say they were on the way. The guy had to b*y parts and gave my mum a quote and returned a few weeks later. The guy then didn't need to do as much work as originally expected, so the cost was cheaper.

Touch wood, the people I know have had nothing but good things to say about this charity/service, which is about to be cut.
