Please complete the booking form below if you have an item that you would like the Repair Cafe volunteers to look at. The most important aspect is what the problem is and what you have done to try and rectify it. An email confirming the next Repair Cafe date and your appointment will be sent to you. We look forward to seeing you at the Repair Cafe.
If you do not want to book an appointment but want to connect with us, you can find our contact details here.
Come and have fun upcycling, refilling, renewing, refreshing and repairing!

1. You must complete the top section of the Registration Form for HRC records before any repairs can be
considered. All information is treated with the utmost confidence. If you choose to leave an email address, this
will be added to our mailing list and you will automatically be reminded of future Repair Café events.
2. Sharp tools and dangerous equipment are present and sometimes used in repairs. You must exercise control
over, and be responsible for, the behaviour of children in your care whilst attending the HRC. Children will not be admitted unless accompanied by an adult.
3. The advice and repair service is conducted by experienced volunteers. Although there is no charge for their time, skill or advice, you are invited to make a voluntary donation to cover our costs which include the purchase of tools and equipment, and building lighting, heating and maintenance.
4. Normally, a maximum of ONE item per visitor will be examined per visit. However, should time allow, extra items may be considered for examination and repair.
5. All repairs carried out at the HRC are performed at your own risk. Neither the organisers of HRC nor the repairers in personal capacities or otherwise are liable for any accidental damage or loss that may occur to either your goods (including vehicles) or your personal effects during your time at the HRC.
6. After making an initial assessment of your item, our repairers will discuss the repair with you. Sometimes our
repairers may be unable to effect a repair for various reasons. You will be told these reasons, but our repairers
are fully entitled to use their discretion and refuse to repair an item should they so decide.
7. You may be given advice, e.g. tips on how to prevent a future failure.
8. Normally you are responsible for providing any consumables such as leads, plugs, fuses, zips, etc. that may be
needed to fully complete a repair. As our repairers cannot carry a comprehensive stock of parts, a second visit to
HRC may be required to complete your repair.
9. You should remain with the repairer while the repair is being carried out in order to see how the repair is being done and to pick up new skills. Items must not be left with the repairer and collected at a later time. There may be occasions when a repairer offers to take the item home in order to better diagnose the fault or effect a
repair. Neither the repairer nor HRC assume any responsibility for safe keeping.
10. Volunteers and visitors are expected to treat each other with mutual respect.
11. You are responsible for the removal of all items brought into the HRC. There are no facilities at the HRC for the disposal of your items.
12. Where applicable, electrical equipment will be subject to a Portable Appliance Test prior to leaving the HRC. Our repairer will either deem the appliance safe to use, or not safe to use. HRC takes no responsibility in any form whatsoever for any item, repaired or otherwise, once it has left the HRC.
13. HRC do not provide any warranty or guarantee on any repairs carried out and are not liable in any way should an item subsequently not work properly or fail again or cause any consequential loss or damage.
14. Neither the organisers of HRC nor the repairers in personal capacities or otherwise are liable for any loss or
injury whatsoever that may result from any repair carried out or for any advice or instructions given and used at a later date.
