The Handy Van Service is a
not-for-profit service carrying out small repairs and
minor adaptations for more vulnerable members of the
community. We undertake a variety of repairs and
adaptations, but we do not offer a gardening or
decorating service.
Please note, this service is
only available to people living in the Horsham District.

Thanks to a
£2,000 grant from Sussex Police, the Handy Van
service is offering a one-off grass cutting and
shrub trimming service, for a temporary period,
for people:
• who are going in to hospital
• who have just come out of hospital
• whose usual gardener is on holiday/unwell
• who usually do it themselves but are currently
unwell
Primarily this is to deter burglars who are
attracted by an unkempt garden, and is meant as
a stop-gap until the client can either continue
doing it themselves, or their usual gardener
returns, therefore we will not be able to carry
out any other gardening jobs including edging
lawns, weeding/weed killing etc. And we cannot
take any clippings or cuttings away, but will
leave them neatly in an area of the clients
choice.
The charges are around:
£11 for small jobs
£20 for medium size
£30 for large jobs
We will carry out a free assessment with the
client or their representative to determine the
exact cost.
Our lawn mower and hedge trimmer are electric,
therefore we will need access to a power supply.
As well as this new service, clients can
continue to contact us on 01403 226005 for all
their usual requirements such as tap washers,
putting up curtain tracks, grab rails,
assembling flat pack furniture, clearing gutters
etc. etc.
Handy Van success
continues with 4000th customer
Mr and Mrs Edwards of Fabians Way in Henfield
became the 4000 th customers of the community
Handy Van service on 2 May 2008. The service
operates in partnership with Saxon Weald,
Horsham District Council, Age Concern and the
Horsham District Crime and Disorder Reduction
Partnership.
The couple, who are both in their 60s, were
presented with a bouquet of flowers and had
their job done free of charge to mark the
occasion.
