Home repairs and improvements outfit HomeServe has launched a free emergency home repairs service for all social care workers.
The Walsall company said it will send an engineer to homes free of charge to fix home emergencies any time until the UK lockdown is over.
HomeServe has set aside £1m to cover the cost of these repairs, which are also open to NHS staff.
Free emergency repairs including plumbing, drainage and heating will be provided by HomeServe’s network of qualified engineers, typically the same day, it said.
“During these trying times, a home emergency could become an additional source of disruption and anxiety when it’s needed the least,” said HomeServe chief executive Richard Harpin.
“We hope that by offering them free emergency repairs, we can show how grateful we are at this time of intense difficulty. While you look after us, we’ll look after your homes,” he added.
Social care workers can contact HomeServe for a free emergency repair on 0330 0247 222 or via homeserve.com.
