House rules

Shalford Repair Café – House Rules and Disclaimer for Visitors / Item Owners. To see our Terms and Condition click this link

Shalford Repair Café cannot attempt repairs on microwave ovens, high pressure parts e.g. on coffee machines, high voltage (>240v) equipment, lithium batteries (including those in electric vehicles), items suspected of containing asbestos and other toxic materials and legally restricted items. We perform repairs of items that would otherwise be disposed of, not alterations, upgrades or routine maintenance that can be commercially sourced.
All repairs carried out at Shalford Repair Café are performed free of charge on a voluntary basis by the repairers but voluntary donations are welcome to help pay for operational costs and the future development of the service.
Item owners are encouraged to work with the repairers whenever practical in order to see how the repair is being done and to pick up new skills.
Item owners are expected to remain with the repairer while the repair is being carried out. Items should not be left with the repairer and collected at a later time.
Neither the organisers of the Shalford Repair Café nor the repairers are liable for any loss or injury that may result from any repair carried out at the Café or for any advice or instructions given and used at a later date.
The Item owner is responsible for providing any consumables such as leads, plugs, fuses etc that may be needed to fully complete a repair.
Repairers offer no guarantee for any repairs carried out with or without their help and are not liable if any repaired items do not work properly at home or break down again in the future.
After making an initial assessment of an item, repairers are fully entitled to use their discretion and refuse to repair an item should they so decide.
Repairers are at liberty to refuse to repair and/or reassemble any appliances that are deemed to be hazardous, semi hazardous or beyond repair.
Item owners are responsible for the removal of all items that cannot be repaired.
A maximum of ONE item per person will be examined. Should time allow, extra items can be considered for repair on the completion of a registration form for each item.
Parents or Guardians are responsible at all times for the behaviour of their children whilst on the Shalford Repair Café site.

Terms & Conditions

Shalford Repair Cafe (SRC) Terms and Conditions

The work carried out in the repair café is performed free of charge on a voluntary basis by the repair experts on hand. Voluntary donations are greatly appreciated.

Users must complete a registration form for each item. All information provided will be treated with complete confidence and never passed to a third party.

Users must remain with the repairer while the repair is being carried out in order to see how it is done and may be asked to help.

Repairers are free to refuse to repair items. If the repair requires materials or a part that is not available, the user will be provided with details of how to get it themselves and will be shown how to fit it or can return for this. They may be asked to pay for any in-house items that need to be used.

If the repair requires more time than practicable, the user and repairer may come to their own arrangement if they mutually agree. They must exchange contact details. If the item is taken off site during this process, SRC insurance does not apply.

If the item cannot be fixed, the repairer is not required to reassemble the item. The user must tidily remove everything.

To keep waiting times low during busy periods, only one item per person will be accepted. Users may join the back of the queue for a second repair if there is time left.

SRC and its repair experts are not liable for losses of any kind that result from their activities. They offer no guarantee for the repairs carried out and are not liable if an item turns out not to work properly at home or breaks down later. Users must accept responsibility for their repaired item(s) on leaving.

PLEASE NOTE: SRC will do its utmost to ensure safe working, but some repair processes may be hazardous. Users are responsible for their own welfare and are particularly asked to ensure any children accompanying them are kept safe.
