House Rules
Ashburton Repair Cafe (the CIO) operates using House Rules. These are subject to periodic review.
House Rules
The work carried out in the Repair Cafe is performed free of charge by volunteers.
A voluntary donation is greatly appreciated as this contributes towards our running costs. Please gift aid this donation if possible.
New materials used to effect a repair may be charged at cost – we will tell you about this in advance if the cost is more than £5 – and must be paid before the item is returned to you.
Neither the organisers, nor the volunteers, are liable for any loss that may result from advice or instructions concerning repairs, for the loss of items handed in for repair, or for any consequential loss or any kind of loss resulting from the work performed in the Repair Cafe.
Once offsite, the safety of items is no longer the responsibility of the Repair Cafe.
Visitors offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk.
Our volunteers making repairs offer no guarantee for the work carried out, and are not liable for any items which, subsequently, do not work properly at home.
Our volunteers are entitled to refuse to repair items.
Our volunteers are not obliged to reassemble disassembled appliances that cannot be repaired.
We reserve the right to accept only one item at a time from a client.
Visitors to Repair Café are solely responsible for the tidy removal of broken objects that could not be repaired.
The car park is only to be used for picking up or dropping off items. Please use the town car parks.
How to get involved
We are always looking for volunteers, so if you have experience in anything, please reach out and get involved. We are solely reliant on our volunteers and their expertise. Come and be part of the repair revolution!

Here are some of the comments we've received already.
We have been to the repair café a few times and love its buzzy, purposeful and friendly atmosphere. We have been so impressed by the results, tools and scissors sharpened and help with finding the best and most cost effective way of fixing a food processor. I would recommend anyone to take their broken or damaged articles along to see what can be done with them.
