About the area

Your local handyman in Walker

Walker has changed a great deal since its shipyard days, and its housing reflects every chapter, from traditional Tyneside flats and interwar council homes to modern regeneration estates close to the riverside. It is a proud, close-knit part of east Newcastle where people want repairs done properly and at a fair price.

Handy Andrew carries out the everyday jobs that keep these homes comfortable. We fix dripping taps and leaking waste pipes, reseal baths, replace broken cupboard doors, fit new internal doors and handles, and patch and paint walls. Outside, we repair fences and gates and clear blocked gutters. Landlords and housing providers with properties in Walker also use us for end-of-tenancy work. We explain what we are doing as we go and leave the place clean, so you can get on with your day.

Typical homes: Traditional Tyneside flats and terraces, interwar and post-war council-built semis, and newer regeneration housing near the river.

Services people in Walker often need

Handyman Walker: common questions

Do you work on rented properties in Walker?

Yes. We help private landlords and agents prepare homes between tenants, fixing doors, replacing worn fittings, resealing bathrooms, filling holes and repainting. We can work from a check-out report or a written list and let you know about anything else we notice that might need attention.

Can you fix a leak under my kitchen sink?

Small plumbing repairs such as leaking waste traps, worn tap washers, loose fittings and replacing isolation valves are well within what we do. We do not work on boilers or gas appliances. If the leak turns out to need a heating engineer, we will tell you straight away.
