About the area

Your local handyman in Scotswood

Scotswood's story is closely tied to the industries along Scotswood Road and the Tyne. Much of the older housing was cleared in later decades, and the hillside has since been redeveloped, with new homes now standing alongside remaining older streets and post-war housing.

For Handy Andrew, that mix means a varied workload. In newer homes we fit blinds, curtain poles, TV brackets and shelving, assemble furniture, put up sheds and add fence panels to new gardens. In older properties, we rehang doors, draught-proof, box in pipework and repair kitchen units. The slopes leading down to the river mean garden steps and fences need firm fixing. Landlords with houses in the area use us for small repairs between tenancies. Scotswood is only a few minutes from our Newcastle base, so we are often nearby.

Typical homes: Newly built family homes on the regenerated hillside, alongside older terraces and post-war housing.
