About the area

Your local handyman in Elswick

Rising up from Scotswood Road on the north bank of the Tyne, Elswick has a long industrial history and today offers a mix of Victorian terraces, Tyneside flats, post-war housing and newer developments. That variety means jobs range from period features to modern fittings.

In older terraces, Handy Andrew often eases sash and casement windows, rehangs doors, repairs back-yard gates and seals draughts. In flats and newer homes, we assemble furniture, mount TVs, reseal bathrooms and fit curtain poles and blinds. Many properties in Elswick are rented, so we also help landlords prepare homes between tenancies with patching, painting and minor repairs. We focus on small jobs only, leaving fixed electrics, gas and structural work to the right specialists. If you live in Elswick or manage property here, call 07960 485 880.

Typical homes: Victorian terraces and Tyneside flats, post-war housing and newer developments on the slopes above the river.

Services people in Elswick often need

Handyman Elswick: common questions

Do you work with landlords in Elswick?

Yes. We help landlords and letting agents get properties ready for new tenants, including painting, filling holes, fixing cupboard doors, replacing handles and resealing bathrooms. We can work from your inventory or checklist and keep you updated.

Can you repair back-yard gates?

We can. Yard gates in older terraces often sag, stick or no longer lock. We can rehang or adjust gates, replace hinges and bolts and fit new latches so the yard is secure again. Where timber has rotted, we can replace damaged boards too.
