About the area

Your local handyman in Forest Hall

Brick terraces, Edwardian villas and 1930s semis line the streets around Station Road in Forest Hall, a well-established suburb just across the boundary from Newcastle in North Tyneside. Its older housing stock has plenty of character, along with the usual quirks that come with homes of that age.

Handy Andrew is now covering Forest Hall, and the jobs we expect most are classic older-house repairs: windows that stick or rattle, doors that need planing after years of settling, loose stair spindles, worn skirting and kitchen units past their best. We also put up shelving in alcoves, fit curtain poles above wide bays, reseal baths, box in pipework and redecorate individual rooms. Out the back, yards and gardens often need gate repairs, fencing and jet washing. We take care with original features, repairing rather than replacing wherever that makes sense.

Typical homes: A mix of late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces, larger period semis and interwar houses, with some later infill developments.

Services people in Forest Hall often need

Handyman Forest Hall: common questions

Will you keep the original features in my older Forest Hall house?

We always prefer to repair period features where possible, whether that is easing an original panelled door, refixing moulded skirting or tightening loose spindles. Where something cannot be saved, we will discuss replacements that match the style and proportions of the existing woodwork.

Can you put up shelves in alcoves with old plaster?

Yes. Older lime or gypsum plaster can be crumbly, so we drill carefully into the masonry behind and use fixings suited to the wall. Alcove shelving is usually supported on battens or concealed brackets, and we can cut shelves to fit walls that are not perfectly square.
