About the area

Your local handyman in Backworth

Backworth is a village of two halves. The original colliery village, with its terraces and the grand Backworth Hall nearby, sits alongside one of North Tyneside's larger modern housing developments, full of young families in recently built homes.

We are now taking on work across Backworth, and the jobs reflect that split. In the newer streets, people ask for flat-pack furniture assembly, TV wall mounting, curtain poles and blinds, shelves on plasterboard walls and help with minor snagging. In the older terraces, it is more often doors that stick, draughty windows, worn bathroom sealant and back-yard gates that need attention. Handy Andrew also fits babyproofing kit such as stair gates, cupboard locks and furniture anti-tip straps, which is popular with growing families. Whatever is on your list, we will give you a straight answer about what we can do.

Typical homes: Older colliery-era terraces in the original village, alongside extensive modern estates of detached, semi-detached and town houses built in recent decades.
