About the area

Your local handyman in Holystone

Most people across Tyneside know the name from the busy Holystone roundabout, but beyond the junction lies a pleasant residential area of largely modern homes, close to the open spaces of the Rising Sun Country Park and within easy reach of the A19 and Cobalt.

Homes here are generally newer, so the work tends to be about personalising and maintaining rather than restoring. Handy Andrew helps Holystone households with TV mounting, flat-pack assembly, hanging mirrors and artwork, fitting curtain poles, putting up garden fencing and repairing gates. As homes settle and age, we also see cracked bathroom sealant, sagging cupboard doors and interior doors that start to catch, all of which we can put right. If you work long hours, we can try to arrange a time that suits, and we always confirm the visit in advance so you know when to expect us.

Typical homes: Predominantly modern private housing estates of detached and semi-detached homes, with a small number of older properties around the original hamlet.

Services people in Holystone often need

Handyman Holystone: common questions

Why are the sealant joints cracking in my fairly new house?

Newer homes go through a period of settling and drying out, and timber floors and frames move slightly. That often splits silicone around baths and showers. We remove the old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone, ideally with the bath filled to allow for movement.

Can you hide the cables when mounting a TV?

Yes. We can run cables through trunking painted to match the wall, or on stud walls we can sometimes route them inside the cavity using a suitable kit. We do not move or add electrical sockets, as that needs an electrician, but we will make the installation look as tidy as possible.
