Home maintenance service

The Home Maintenance Service helps our older members in particular to engage qualified, safe, reliable and trustworthy tradespeople to undertake maintenance work on their premises. The service is managed by COTA NT staff with the assistance of  suitably qualified volunteers. 

The Home Maintenance Service  is designed to connect a COTA NT member and a local tradesperson, to ensure both parties get the job done at a fair price. It’s designed to provide members with peace of mind, improved safety and comfort in their homes and support. It’s also designed to help local trades and do what we can as an organisation to support local Territory economy and jobs.

What sort of jobs does the service cover?

The quick answer is jobs of all sizes, and with different degrees of urgency. The maintenance service has helped to prevent electrical shock, falls at home, home safety and also dealt with some of the little irks that too often we just end up living with.

Which local tradies are used?

The Home Maintenance Service is designed to make available to COTA NT members, trades people from companies that are skilled in their professions, offer good old-fashioned customer service and true value for money. The businesses that we have selected are trustworthy companies, who are long-established local businesses with excellent reputations for honesty and reliability. And all of their employees have current police checks.
