Handyman Denton Burn

Living in Denton Burn

Denton Burn sits on the West Road (A186) on the western side of Newcastle, close to the point where it meets the A1 Western Bypass. It is a well-connected spot, with buses running straight into the city centre and quick access to the bypass for the MetroCentre and the rest of Tyneside. History is never far away here either: a short stretch of Hadrian's Wall and the Denton Hall Turret survive beside the West Road, a reminder that the Roman frontier once followed the same line.

The housing is mostly mid-twentieth-century, with rows of semi-detached houses and a good number of bungalows set back from the main road, plus a handful of older properties and some more recent infill. It is a popular choice for people who want a quieter residential street with a parade of shops nearby, and it has a sizeable older population alongside young families.

Help with the jobs that are hard to get round to

A lot of our Denton Burn customers are people who have owned their homes for a long time and would rather not be up a ladder or on their knees under a sink any more. Others are adult children arranging help for a parent, or new owners getting a recently bought bungalow ready to move into. In all of these cases, being able to hand over a list of small tasks to one tradesperson saves a lot of hassle.

Bungalows bring their own set of jobs. Loft hatches that stick, doors that need trimming after new flooring is laid, grab rails or extra handholds fitted to solid walls, and shelving set at a comfortable height are all common requests. For anything involving timber, from doors to bespoke storage, our carpentry services cover the work neatly and safely.

Jobs we regularly carry out in Denton Burn

• Trimming and re-hanging doors after carpets or laminate are replaced
