About the area

Your local handyman in Gateshead

Just across the Tyne from Newcastle, Gateshead covers a wide range of homes, from Victorian terraces and Tyneside flats in Bensham and Saltwell to inter-war semis, post-war estates and modern apartments near the quayside. Handy Andrew crosses the river regularly to help residents and landlords throughout the borough.

The jobs vary as much as the housing. In older terraces, we ease windows, rehang doors, repair yard gates and fit draught proofing. In newer homes and flats, we mount TVs, assemble furniture, fit curtain poles and blinds and reseal bathrooms. Gardens bring fence, gate and shed repairs, as well as jet washing. Landlords call us for end-of-tenancy work. We keep to small jobs and minor repairs, with no fixed electrics, gas or structural work. If you are anywhere in Gateshead, call 07960 485 880 to book.

Typical homes: Victorian terraces and Tyneside flats, inter-war and post-war semis and estates, and modern apartments near the riverside.

Do you cover all of Gateshead?

We cover Gateshead town and many of its surrounding neighbourhoods. As Gateshead is a large borough, it helps to tell us your area when you get in touch so we can plan travel and, if possible, group your job with others nearby.

Can you work in Tyneside flats in Gateshead?

Yes. Tyneside flats are common in areas like Bensham and Saltwell. We are used to working in upper and lower flats, carrying tools up narrow staircases and keeping noise and dust to a minimum for neighbours.
