About the area

Your local handyman in Longbenton

Most people know Longbenton for its large estate of interwar and post-war housing and the big government offices near the Metro. Behind that, it is a close-knit residential area of semis and short terraces with generous gardens, and residents value prompt help with straightforward repairs.

Typical jobs for Handy Andrew in Longbenton include replacing internal and external door furniture, repairing garden fences and gates, fitting curtain poles and blinds, boxing in pipework and repairing bathroom fittings. Gardens here tend to be larger than average, so hedge cutting, clearing and shed repairs are also common. We work for homeowners and for landlords with rental houses in the area, carrying out small repairs between lets. Longbenton is in North Tyneside, a short hop from our Newcastle base, so we can usually find a time that suits you.

Typical homes: Large estates of interwar and post-war semi-detached houses and short terraces with generous gardens.
