Tom Knapper needed help maintaining the bungalow he built for himself in 1970.
Volunteer builders have repaired the bungalow of a 93-year-old man who can no longer maintain his own home.
The charity was set up to carry out work for members of the UK construction industry who are battling illness or injury. HIs wife died a couple of months before the Covid-19 pandemic began and his son said he found living alone in isolation very difficult. The Band of Builders upgraded Mr Knapper's central heating system, carried out plumbing in the bathroom, created new steps outside the front door, fixed the garage roof and changed the guttering.
