St Albans District Fixers are coming to Lourdes Hall, Harpenden, were we will be partnering with the LiveSimply team at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic church to help repair household items you might otherwise throw away.
As usual, we are offering both electrical and electronic repairs, and repairs and minor alterations to clothing and fabrics.
Free parking is availalble along Sounthdown Rd. (The very limited parking at the hall is reserved for volunteers with heavy or bulky equipment.)
Please note: Due to high demand, bookings are limited to one item per visitor (or household), or one electrical plus one clothing at a different time. After serving other visitors we may be able to look at a second, time permitting, or at least give you a brief assessment.
This is not simply a free repair. We hope you will also learn something: perhaps why your item broke, possibly even how to fix it yourself another time, or how to choose a more durable replacement and make it last longer. Hence if you drop your item off expecting to collect it later, we'll only look at it if we run out of work.
Fixing times can vary considerably and hence your booked time is not a firm fixing slot, rather a means of smoothing the flow and avoiding excessive wait times. Tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits will be available while you wait, and a chance to chat with the hosts and other visitors.
