About the area

Your local handyman in Heddon-on-the-Wall

As its name suggests, Heddon-on-the-Wall stands on the line of Hadrian's Wall, and one of the longest surviving stretches near Newcastle can be seen at the eastern end of the village. Perched on a hill above the Tyne valley, Heddon combines an old core around St Andrew's Church with more recent estates and bungalows, all just beyond the city's western boundary.

Handy Andrew is now working in Heddon. The hilltop location means homes take the full force of westerly winds, so fence panels, gates, gutters and shed roofs are among the most common jobs. In older stone properties, we ease windows and doors, draught proof and carry out sympathetic repairs, while in newer homes we hang shelves, fit blinds, mount TVs and assemble furniture. We also fit grab rails and handrails, which is popular with residents in the bungalows. Get in touch to arrange a visit.

Typical homes: Older stone cottages and houses around the village centre, with post-war estates, bungalows and newer private homes on the outskirts.

Services people in Heddon-on-the-Wall often need

Handyman Heddon-on-the-Wall: common questions

Do you cover Heddon-on-the-Wall even though it is in Northumberland?

Yes. Heddon is only a short drive from Newcastle's west end along the A69, and we now cover it alongside Throckley, Newburn and Wylam. Being in Northumberland rather than Newcastle makes no difference to the work we can do.

Why does my gate keep sticking in winter?

Timber swells in wet weather, and hinges and posts can move after strong winds, particularly on an exposed site. We can plane the gate, adjust or replace hinges and latches, and check the post for movement or rot. Fixing the cause rather than forcing the gate saves damage.
