Community Repair

Fix, Learn, and Connect at Community Repair

Got an electrical appliance in need of a little TLC? Join our Community Repair sessions, where you’ll inspect, diagnose, and repair your item with the help of our team — no experience needed, just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn.

When and where:

Camden Fixing Factory on Thursdays from 11am–2pm

Haringey Fixing Factory on Mondays from 11am-2pm and every third Saturday of the month from 2pm-5pm

Here’s how it works:

  • Booking ahead is not required but repairs are first-come, first-served. If you do want a guaranteed time slot, there is the option to reserve your spot on Eventbrite here.

  • Plan to stay for your repair — we’ll guide you through the process step-by-step. (Sorry, no drop-offs!)

  • Some repairs are quick fixes, but others may take hours or require multiple sessions. Allow at least 45 minutes.

Here’s what you can bring to repair:

We currently focus on portable electronic appliances. While we can fix lots of stuff, there are limitations! Please check the list below before bringing things for repair.

Yes! We fix most portable appliances:

✔ toasters, kettles, blenders, fryers, slow cookers, etc

✔ radios, speakers, & other audio equipment

✔ lamps, fans, irons, hoovers, dehumidifiers, heaters, etc

✔ laptops & gaming consoles

✔ hairdryers, straighteners, steamers, diffusers

✔ dvd or blu-ray players, VCRs

Please don’t bring:

✖ white goods

✖ microwaves

✖ printers

✖ e-bikes, e-scooters, or EV batteries

If you’ve got an item that we can’t repair, The Restart Project have put together a Repair Directory of trusted repair businesses in London. Check them out to find a suitable fixer!

A heads-up: most of our Fixers are volunteers, so availability can vary week to week. While we do our best, we can’t guarantee a repair every time.
