No need to book in advance - just turn up with your item(s) any time between 10:00am-12:30pm.
Over the last year we have had a wide variety of items in for repair, most of which we were able to fix (and just a few that were either broken beyond mending or needing equipment we don't have). Here are some of the items we've repaired:
- Chair and other small furniture items;
- Bicycles;
- Some electric lamps;
- Various electric items such as sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, hedge trmmer, toasters, etc.
- A couple of laptops;
- Game controllers;
- A music stand;
- Lots of items for sewing;
- Various items needing gluing including spectacles, ceramics, wooden ornaments and plastic items;
- Sharpening knives, secateurs, shears and chisels.
At our last session in February, we carried out repairs on items such as a wooden gazelle, several pairs of trousers (and other sewing), a record player, a food mixer and several items to sharpen.
We will meet on the third Saturday of each month. Repairs will be available for:
- Clothing and fabrics;
- Small electrical items;
- Mechanical items;
- Electronics including computers;
- Small items of furniture;
- Bicycles;
- Tool sharpening (knives, scissors, chisels, shears, etc.).
We will also look at any other items but cannot guarantee we'll be able to repair them. Note that the time for last repairs to be accepted is 12:30pm.
Refreshments and cakes will also be available.
