Handyman Shiremoor

Handyman work across Shiremoor

Shiremoor is a former mining community in North Tyneside, now a busy residential area with its own Metro station and good links to Newcastle, Whitley Bay and the coast. Northumberland Park and the retail parks at Silverlink are close by. The housing is largely terraced and semi-detached homes, much of it built in the twentieth century, along with newer estates on the edges.

It is a practical, down-to-earth place, and the jobs we are asked to do here reflect that: getting things working properly, making rooms look smart again, and dealing with niggles before they become bigger problems.

Jobs we regularly do in Shiremoor

• Fixing leaks under kitchen and bathroom sinks and replacing worn taps with our plumbing service
• Unblocking slow sinks and replacing shower heads and hoses
• Bleeding radiators and tightening drippy valves
• Repainting living rooms, bedrooms and woodwork
• Rehanging internal doors and replacing broken handles and latches
• Replacing tired kitchen unit doors, hinges and drawer fronts through our carpentry and joinery
• Assembling flat-pack furniture bought from the nearby retail parks
• Fitting curtain poles, blinds and shelves

For landlords and letting agents

Shiremoor's good transport links make it popular with tenants, and with that comes a steady need for maintenance between and during tenancies. We can work from a list sent by the landlord or agent: touching up and repainting walls, resealing a bath, replacing a broken cupboard door, fixing a dripping tap or putting up a new curtain pole. We keep you informed as work is completed, which is handy if you do not live locally. Our handyman service is built around exactly this kind of mixed job list.

Small businesses

Shops, offices and workshops around Shiremoor and the nearby business parks can call on us for shelving, door closer adjustments, office furniture assembly and a fresh coat of paint in staff areas. We try to fit around opening hours where we can.

Older terraced houses in the centre of Shiremoor often have narrow hallways and steep staircases, which can make decorating awkward. We bring suitable steps and access equipment so stairwells can be painted safely, and we take care with tight corners and old woodwork. In the newer homes on the outskirts, it is more often a case of adding storage, mounting a TV, or repainting builder's magnolia walls in colours the owners actually like. Either way, we plan the job so that disruption to your home is kept to a minimum and you can carry on with your day. Commuters who use the Metro during the week can also ask about arranging access so the work is done while they are out.

Booking a visit

To get a free quote, send us the details through our contact page or ring us. Let us know what needs doing and attach a few photos if you can. Simple jobs can often be priced from that alone, and for more involved work we will come out first to take a look.

Once booked, we arrive prepared, protect the work area and tidy up when we are finished. We do not carry out electrical or gas work. If a job needs an electrician or gas engineer, we will tell you rather than guess.

We also cover neighbouring Murton, Earsdon, Preston Grange and South Wellfield, and travel across to Wallsend and Killingworth too. Wherever you are around Shiremoor, we would be pleased to hear from you.
