Handyman Melton Park

Handyman services in Melton Park

Melton Park is a quiet residential estate on the northern side of Gosforth in NE3, close to the Great North Road and the open land around Gosforth Park. It feels a little removed from the bustle of Gosforth High Street, yet the shops, the Regent Centre Metro and the city centre are all within easy reach. The estate is made up mainly of privately owned semi-detached and detached houses and bungalows, with tree-lined roads, good-sized gardens and garages or driveways.

Homes here are generally well cared for, and owners tend to want work done properly and to a good finish. Much of what we do in Melton Park is about improving and maintaining a house rather than emergency repairs: adding storage, updating rooms, keeping gardens in shape and dealing promptly with small problems before they get bigger.

Adding storage and improving rooms

Fitted shelving and storage are popular requests. Alcoves beside chimney breasts, space under the stairs, garages and home offices can all be put to better use with well-built shelves or cupboards. Our bespoke joinery is made to measure on site, and we finish it so it is ready to paint or already painted to match the room.

We also redecorate rooms from top to bottom, including ceilings, walls, doors and skirting, and can hang wallpaper for a feature wall or a whole room. Customers often ask us to update a guest bedroom, refresh a dated hallway or repaint woodwork that has yellowed over time. Find out more about our professional decorating.

Gardens and outdoor timber

Melton Park's larger gardens mean more timber to look after. Decking, fences, gates and sheds all suffer in the North East weather, and replacing a few rotten boards or a broken panel early stops problems from spreading. We can also take down an old shed you no longer need. For gardens with hoses and outside taps, a leaking or frost-damaged outside tap is a simple fix worth doing before winter.

Bungalow owners on the estate sometimes ask us for small adaptations that make day-to-day life easier, such as lowering shelves, fitting extra handholds by steps or adding lever handles to doors. These are simple changes, but they can make a home more comfortable for the long term, and we are always happy to talk through what might help.

Asking for a quote

To get things moving, use our enquiry form or call the number on our website. A short description of the job and a few photos will help us understand what you need. For made-to-measure joinery we will usually visit to measure up before confirming the price. Every quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

We agree a convenient time with you, keep you informed as the work progresses and make sure the house and garden are left clean and tidy at the end.

As well as Melton Park, we work throughout Gosforth, Brunton Park, Wideopen and Hazlerigg, all within easy reach of our Jesmond base.
