Repairs suited to Newcastle housing
Newcastle sits on the north bank of the Tyne, opposite Gateshead, and Newcastle City Council is based at the Civic Centre on the Haymarket. Across the city, flats make up 32.3% of homes, semis 34.6% and terraces 23.6%. Many streets are lined with Tyneside flat pairs, with two front doors side by side, so door repairs are a common job on them.
The city has many conservation areas, including Central, Jesmond Dene, South Jesmond, Ouseburn, Leazes, Summerhill Square, Gosforth and Brandling Village. Sash and period windows in Grainger Town, around Grey Street, and in the Jesmond conservation areas are usually better repaired than replaced; see our sash window repairs page.
With 22.8% of homes privately rented and 27.3% socially rented, landlords regularly need lock, hinge and door-closer repairs. For window repairs Newcastle landlords can book on a tenant's behalf, and door repairs Newcastle households need, from a dropped leaf to a failed mechanism, are covered on our door repairs page. For jammed locks, snapped keys and lockouts, see our locksmith service in Newcastle.
Within the city we have separate pages for West Denton, close to our NE15 base, and Heaton in the east. Where a frame cannot be repaired, our replacement windows page explains our approach.
Typical property in the area: tyneside flats, terraces, semis and period homes in the conservation areas.

Questions
City repair questions
Who is responsible for the door on an upstairs Tyneside flat?
Usually the owner or landlord of that flat, since each flat in a pair has its own front door. Whoever is responsible can book us, and we repair the lock, hinges or closer on that door alone.
Can sash windows in Grainger Town be repaired?
Yes. Cords, weights, beads and glass can be repaired so the period frame stays. Check with Newcastle City Council before any change in a conservation area.
Can a Newcastle landlord book a lock change for a tenant?
Yes. Landlords and agents can arrange the work, and we agree access with the tenant who lives there.
