About the area

Your local handyman in Blakelaw

Built largely in the post-war decades, Blakelaw is a residential estate in the north-west of the city with a mix of semi-detached homes, terraces and low-rise flats. Many households here are families or long-standing residents, and the jobs we see reflect that.

Handy Andrew is often asked to fit stair gates and cupboard locks for young children, put up shelves and curtain poles, assemble beds and wardrobes and repair kitchen units that have seen years of daily use. Outdoors, fence panels and gates are common requests, as is jet washing paths and patios. For older residents, we can fit grab rails and other small aids that make getting around easier. We handle small jobs and minor repairs only, keeping things affordable and quick. If you live in Blakelaw and have a few tasks waiting, call 07960 485 880.

Typical homes: Mostly post-war semi-detached houses, short terraces and low-rise flats with front and rear gardens.
