About the area

Your local handyman in Walkergate

Served by its own Metro station and sitting just off the Fossway, Walkergate is a settled residential area of east Newcastle where rows of interwar semis and terraces line quiet, regular streets. Many of these houses are now approaching a hundred years old and are on their second or third generation of owners.

That age brings a familiar set of jobs. We regularly replace tired internal doors, fit new skirting and architrave, box in exposed pipework, put up curtain poles and blinds, and hang shelves in alcoves either side of the chimney breast. Outside, we refit gutters, repair sheds and replace fence panels. If you have recently moved to Walkergate and want to get a few things sorted before decorating, Handy Andrew can work through your list efficiently and give you a realistic idea of time beforehand.

Typical homes: Predominantly 1920s and 1930s semi-detached and terraced houses with front and back gardens on regular suburban streets.

Services people in Walkergate often need

Handyman Walkergate: common questions

I have just bought a 1930s house in Walkergate. Where should I start?

Many buyers start with practical jobs before decorating: easing doors and windows, fixing loose banisters, replacing tired handles, boxing in pipework and putting up curtain poles. We can walk round with you, note what needs doing and work through it in a sensible order so you are ready to paint.

Can you box in pipes neatly in an older house?

Yes. Exposed pipes are common where heating has been added over the years. We build a timber frame, clad it in MDF or plywood, and leave access panels where valves need to be reached. The boxing can then be painted to match your skirting or walls.
