About the area

Your local handyman in Spital Tongues

Squeezed between the Town Moor and the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Spital Tongues is a compact neighbourhood of tight terraced streets, Tyneside flats and a sprinkling of newer infill. Many homes here are rented to hospital staff and students, so a lot of our work is about keeping older properties tidy, safe and comfortable between tenancies.

Handy Andrew handles the small jobs that build up in these houses: sticking doors, worn sealant around baths, loose curtain poles, dripping taps and kitchen cupboard hinges that have given up. Landlords and letting agents use us for end-of-tenancy touch-ups, while owner-occupiers often call for painting, shelving or TV wall mounting. Because streets in Spital Tongues are narrow and parking is tight, we plan visits carefully and bring what we need in one trip, so a job is done with minimal disruption to you and your neighbours.

Typical homes: Mostly late-Victorian and Edwardian brick terraces and Tyneside flats on narrow streets, with some modern flats and student-style infill developments.

Services people in Spital Tongues often need

Handyman Spital Tongues: common questions

Parking is difficult in Spital Tongues. Is that a problem?

Not usually. The streets are narrow and spaces fill up quickly, especially near the hospital, so we plan ahead and load the van with everything needed for the job. If you have a permit or a visitor space available, letting us know in advance helps us arrive on time and keep the visit short.

Do you work for landlords with student or hospital-staff lets?

Yes. Many properties here are rented, and we regularly help landlords and agents with turnaround work between tenants: patching and painting walls, fixing cupboard doors, resealing bathrooms, replacing broken handles and checking windows open and close properly. We can work from a list and send photos once the jobs are complete.
