The Fixery

The Fixery is a community repair and reuse hub. It welcomes residents to repair, reuse and swap items, helping them reduce waste, save money and strengthen community connections. It looks to be a novel new idea, developed by Richmond Council and Habitats & Heritage.

You can:

  • Repair it – Repair bicycles, clothing or small electrical items
  • Swap it – Swap clothes and refresh your wardrobe
  • Refill it – Refill your empty household cleaning and laundry products
  • Purchase pre-loved teddy bears or small craft materials – Fabrics, buttons, ribbons, and more
  • Connect with others – Sit and relax at our on-site café with delicious coffee and snacks available for purchase

Open Fridays and Saturdays, 11am to 4pm. All services will incur a small fee or expected donation. 

Repairs are done by volunteers from Twickenham Repair Café. You can bring small items for repair: electrical appliances, clothing, furniture, crockery, housewares, bicycles, toys. If it’s broken and you can carry it, there’s a good chance it will be repaired.

Large items are excluded: the site is a small-scale community venue. If you wish to check that a specialist repairer will be available on the day, please email info@twickenhamrepaircafe.org.
