Wondering where heat could escape from your home?

An uninsulated home can lose heat through the walls, roof and floor.

Improving insulation or draught proofing means your home can keep more heat in and you can save money on your energy bills.

Did you know, people in the UK lost over £10bn in 2024 to overpriced, abandoned, or shoddy home maintenance work?

One in four people experience problems with home improvements – from undue pressure to overpay, to builders disappearing with deposits. Citizens Advice has said home renovations are one of its biggest sources of consumer complaints.

We’ve known about the scale of this problem for a long time, which is what we’ve designed our Home Repairs Support Service around. We take the stress out of renovations.

Our vetted contractors will never:
· Demand upfront payments
· Arrive without an ID
· Carry out unapproved extra work

We provide the oversight and the trustworthy industry contacts to make sure our clients are never left out of pocket by rogue traders.

Unmasking traitors and picking our colleagues off... Just a standard Wednesday at Manchester 'Scare & Despair' 🔪👀

Last week, we gathered for a 'Scare & Despair' themed staff away day, with our very own game of The Traitors. Trust was thrown out the window, side-eyes were exchanged, and a few very quiet "murders" took place before midday.

Despite all the betrayal, it was a brilliant day filled with laughs and a great lunch.

As part of the challenge, each team designed a poster to promote the Barrack Street Hub. Take a look - which one is your favourite?

🧩 We love building jigsaws at Manchester Care & Repair! We love it so much that we've set up a jigsaw corner in the office.

It gives us a break from our screens, a change of scenery, and a quick reset during the day - not to mention the long list of cognitive benefits that come with building jigsaws.

This is one tradition that's definitely coming with us to our new home at the Barrack Street Hub.

🩵 Here's Annie, building a 500-piece jigsaw of 'The Lakes'.
