Handyman Hedworth

Home help in Hedworth

Hedworth is a residential area on the southern side of Jarrow, stretching towards Boldon and the open land beyond. Hedworth Lane runs through it, and the area is mainly made up of family homes built from the 1960s onwards, with semis, terraces and detached houses set around quiet closes and crescents. Fellgate is next door, and the A19 and A184 are close at hand, so it is a convenient spot for people commuting across the region. For us, Hedworth means a lot of well-kept homes whose owners want reliable help with the jobs they do not have time for.

Popular jobs in Hedworth

Homes of this age have usually been modernised at least once, and many are ready for another round of updating. Here is what we are most often asked to do:

• Mounting TVs, mirrors and large pictures securely on plasterboard and block walls
• Fitting shelving and storage in garages, utility rooms and box rooms
• Replacing tired internal doors and fitting matching handles throughout
• Painting rooms in fresh, neutral colours and refreshing gloss on woodwork
• Stripping and replacing mouldy silicone around baths, showers and sinks
• Replacing a dripping kitchen mixer tap or a worn bathroom tap
• Repairing and repainting garden fences, gates and sheds

Most of these are covered by our handyman repairs and fitting service. Replacing a worn tap or sorting a bath seal falls under our plumbing work, and we are happy to combine the two in a single visit.

Garages and storage

Many Hedworth homes have a garage or a utility space that has slowly turned into a dumping ground. With a few sturdy shelves, wall hooks for bikes and tools and perhaps a simple workbench, that space can become genuinely useful again. We can plan a layout with you, choose fixings that suit the walls and get everything up in one go. For more built-in storage, such as cupboards under the stairs or fitted shelving, our carpentry service covers the joinery.

How we quote

To get a quote, use our contact form or phone us and explain the job. A list with photos is ideal, because it helps us judge what materials and time are needed. For simple tasks we can usually price from that; for bigger jobs we will arrange to see them first. Every quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

We are honest about what we do and do not cover. We do not carry out electrical or gas work, so tasks such as new sockets, light fittings or boiler repairs need a suitably qualified specialist.

Fresh paint and tidy woodwork

A lot of Hedworth homes still have the woodwork that went in when they were built or first modernised, and after decades of family life it can look tired. We fill dents and gaps, sand back chipped gloss and repaint skirting, doors and frames, often alongside walls and ceilings. Our painting and decorating service can take on one room at a time or a whole floor, so you can spread the work in a way that suits you.
