Repair Drop-Off
Drop-off your broken household Electricals and have them fixed by our skilled volunteers.
Got a broken household electrical item? Bring it along to the Fixing Factory in either Camden or Hackney, where skilled local volunteers will try to repair it as part of their learning and development journey.
This service is a supplement to our free Community Repair sessions. If you can’t make the weekly Community Repair Sessions or don’t have time to wait around, then Repair Drop-Offs are for you!
How it works
Items can be dropped off to the Camden or Hackney Fixing Factory during our opening times. Just book a slot and we'll be there to collect your item.
We'll charge a small non-refundable fee to assess and do our best to fix your item (fees vary depending on the item). Not all items can be fixed, but we're a determined bunch and will let you know if your item is beyond repair.
We’ll repair your item as a priority and return it to you within 4-8 weeks. You’ll also get a one month warranty on the repair.
Every pound raised goes towards supporting our non-profit community repair hubs.
