About the area

Your local handyman in Tynemouth

Few places on the North East coast are as handsome as Tynemouth, with its priory ruins on the headland, a bustling Front Street and rows of Victorian and Georgian houses facing the sea. Beautiful as they are, those older properties take a battering from salt air and coastal wind, and they reward regular, careful maintenance.

Handy Andrew helps homeowners here keep on top of it. We ease and draught proof timber windows, repaint weathered woodwork, refix gutters loosened by storms and replace fence panels in exposed back gardens. Indoors, we fit shelving in alcoves, hang pictures and mirrors on old plaster, and reseal baths and showers. Much of the village sits within a conservation area, so we favour like-for-like repairs that respect the character of the building, and we are always happy to talk through options before starting.

Typical homes: Georgian and Victorian terraces and townhouses around Front Street and the seafront, with Edwardian and interwar family homes further back from the coast.

Services people in Tynemouth often need

Handyman Tynemouth: common questions

My house is in the Tynemouth conservation area. Does that affect repairs?

It can. Changes to features like windows, doors and frontages may need consent in a conservation area, so we focus on repairs rather than replacement, using matching materials and finishes. If you are unsure whether something needs permission, it is best to check with North Tyneside Council before work starts.

How often should exterior woodwork be painted by the sea?

Salt and wind wear paint down faster on the coast than inland. It is worth checking windows, doors and fascias every year and touching up any cracked or flaking areas before water gets into the timber. We can prepare, fill and repaint smaller areas to stop rot getting a foothold.
