About the area

Your local handyman in Wideopen

Strung along the Great North Road between Gosforth and Seaton Burn, Wideopen began as a roadside mining village and has steadily grown, with older terraces near the main road and newer private estates spreading out behind. It sits just over the boundary in North Tyneside, but for many residents Newcastle is very much on the doorstep.

Handy Andrew covers Wideopen regularly. Popular jobs include assembling furniture in new-build homes, mounting TVs, fitting curtain poles and blinds, and putting up shelving in rooms where the walls need the right fixings. Older terraces call for door easing, draught proofing and patching tired plaster. In gardens we replace fence panels, repair gates and jet wash patios. If you have recently moved into one of the newer developments in Wideopen and have a snagging list, we can help work through the minor items too.

Typical homes: Older terraced houses along the Great North Road, with large modern private estates of semi-detached and detached homes behind.

Services people in Wideopen often need

Handyman Wideopen: common questions

Can you help with snagging on a new-build home?

We can sort out minor snags such as doors that catch, loose handles, cupboard doors that need adjusting, gaps in sealant and missing fixings. If the developer is still responsible under warranty, it is worth reporting the issues to them first, but many owners prefer us to handle small items quickly.

What fixings do you use on new-build plasterboard walls?

Plasterboard needs the right fixings, especially for TVs and heavy shelves. We locate studs where possible and use heavy-duty plasterboard anchors elsewhere, and we check for pipes and cables before drilling. If a wall is not suitable for a heavy item, we will explain the alternatives.
