The short answer
you buy a FixAble plan for someone else's home. When something goes wrong, they report it and our team sorts it. It's the same plans and the same team as buying for yourself.
You can't always be there.
Most of us know someone we worry about a little. A mum who won't mention the dripping tap until it's been going for a month. A daughter in her first house, working out what a stopcock is. A dad who still thinks he should be up the ladder clearing the gutters.
You can't always be the one who pops round. A FixAble subscription means they have one team to call, and you know who's turning up.
Who it suits.
Parents and grandparents. One number for the dripping tap or the sticking door, and a team they'll get to know. No searching for a tradesperson. No strangers.
First-time buyers. The first year in a home is full of jobs nobody warned you about. A plan takes the guesswork out of who to call. See Your first year as a homeowner.
Newlyweds and new neighbours. A wedding or housewarming present for the home itself. More useful than another set of glasses.
Someone going through a change. After a bereavement, a separation or a move, having the house looked after is one less thing to think about.
What they get.
Every plan includes labour, up to £250 of materials on every job, and an appointment booked within 24 hours of reporting an issue.

How gifting works.
- Choose their plan. Essential, Comfort or Complete, depending on their home.
- Pay upfront for 12 months. One payment covers the whole year; there are no monthly gift payments. Essential costs £239, Comfort £419 and Complete £599.
- Add their details. Tell us whose home it's for and where they live in Greater Manchester.
- They call us when they need us. When something goes wrong, they report it and our team sorts it.
Good to know.
- Their home needs to be in Greater Manchester.
- Their first repair request can be made 14 days after the plan starts.
- Gifts are prepaid for 12 months and have a 14-day cooling-off period.
- FixAble is a subscription, not insurance. See what's not included.
- You pay upfront for the gift; the recipient uses the plan for their home. Enquire about a gift.
How to bring it up.
Some people don't love being given help. It often lands better as "I've sorted this so neither of us has to think about it" than "I'm worried about you". It's a gift of a trusted team, not a comment on how they're coping.
Give them one team for their home.
All work is done by our own in-house team at Fogerty Group, based in Ancoats.
