About the area

Your local handyman in Guidepost

A former mining village in south-east Northumberland, Guidepost sits alongside Choppington and Stakeford, a short drive from Bedlington and the River Wansbeck. It is a little further out than most of our work, but Handy Andrew does travel up from Newcastle for households here, particularly when there are a few jobs worth bundling into one visit.

The housing mix brings its own needs. Older terraced and semi-detached homes can have draughty doors, worn window seals and back yards with tired gates, while newer estates call for flat-pack assembly, shelving and fence repairs. We also help landlords with small repairs between tenancies, and fit grab rails and stair rails for older residents who want to keep living independently. Get in touch with a description or a few photos, and we will let you know whether we can help and when we expect to be in the area.

Typical homes: A mix of older terraced and semi-detached former colliery housing alongside newer private estates.

Yes. For landlords we can fill and touch up walls, fix loose door handles and cupboard hinges, reseal baths and showers, replace curtain poles and tidy gardens. We stick to minor repairs and do not carry out fixed electrical, gas or structural work.
