We’re Looking forward to seeing you and your broken stuff

Chailey Repair Cafe October Update

There is a tendency nowadays to when you unpack your new appliance to throw away the instruction manual!

We know that nowadays many are online, but if you have kept the instructions, take the time to read them, because it may well help you solve some of the faults yourself.

This applies particularly to any form of vacuum cleaner, notably Dysons where you need to clean and wash the filters.

Sadly, we see too many of these where the innards are all bunged up because the filters have never been cleaned since it was new!

If you no longer have the instruction manual, you'll find one online which you can print them out and keep close to hand.  

Stuff is getting more complicated nowadays and it really does pay to understand how it works – help us to help you and if do you have the instructions, please being them with you when you visit!

Although you can bring as many items as you wish to be repaired, we only permit you to book in one at a time, in fairness to those who will be in the queue behind you.

Once your first item has been looked at, you can of course book in the next and join the list – if you’re there early enough, there’s a good chance we can also look at the next one.  

Chailey Repair Café is part of a  world-wide movement where volunteer experts repair things free of charge – although a donation towards running costs is invited. Anyone can bring along broken items or clothing needing repair from home, and have a cuppa and a cake and then watch while your repair is done in front of you.

You’ll find us at St Peter’s Church, Chailey on the A275 at Chailey Green on the second Saturday of each month (12th October, 9th November, 14th December and so on) between 1000hrs and 1300hrs where we have a full Café service including our legendary cakes!

Not sure if we can fix your broken item?  Contact  us at chaileyrc@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do to help.

See you very soon!!
