I have become of an age where I can no longer perform even the easiest

they will come back at a future date but never turn up.
If I wish to have my boiler service regularly I can pay a company an
annual fee then they will come as and when required. Id there no company
that does a similar thing for small general maintenance jobs? The
companies that advertise on TV are useless.

You could probably find something similar in your neck of the woods.
