Repair, Reuse, Save
Our shedders have been busy fixing, making and mending for the local community — saving households money and keeping perfectly good items out of landfill.
The Numbers at a Glance
What We Do
🔧 Repairs
From hedge trimmers and vacuum cleaners to rocking horses and radios — if it’s broken, bring it in. Most items are brought back to life for pennies.
🔨 Making
Planter stands, display blocks, perspex stands and even 3D-printed car parts. If it can’t be bought, we’ll often make it.
♻️ Reuse & Resale
Furniture and tools repaired and passed on to new homes rather than the tip. A second life costs far less than a new one.
🔌 Safety Testing
Electrical items are PAT tested, so everything that leaves the shed is safe to plug in and use.

Good for Wallets, Good for the Planet
Repairing instead of replacing kept an estimated 131 items out of landfill — around 27 cubic metres of waste, or five to six household wheelie bins. That also avoided an estimated 3.5 to 4.5 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions from landfill waste.
