The Property Maintenance Channel
I’m Andy Mac and I run the Gosforth Handyman channel on YouTube. I love teaching people about how things work and hopefully you can learn from some of my projects. From putting up a set of shelves through to how houses in the UK are built and much more. A very warm welcome to you wherever you are in the world!

Not sure what tools to buy? Confused by the vast range of options out there? I’m often asked what tools I use or what I’d recommend for a particular job. So here’s a list to help you find some of them.
Obviously some of the tools I use are old and you can’t buy them any more, so I’ve tried to find equivalent newer models where possible, or models I’d consider purchasing when tools finally give up the ghost. Hope you find this useful!
This is a topic very close to my heart. We’ve lived in all sorts of houses over the years – from very old houses through to very new houses. I’ve also worked in hundreds of new builds and lived in one for over 8 years. In this series I’m dispelling all the myths and fear mongering. What is new build life really like?
This neatly ties in with my series about new build houses. Newcastle Great Park is one of the biggest new-build projects in the north of England. I lived here for many years and worked in many of the houses. I know this estate intimately so thought I’d put together a series documenting its growth over the years.
There’s a whole load of extra content over on the Gosforth Handyman Member Zone. I created it as a safe space to discuss ideas and watch more niche content outside the mad, mad world of social media. Check it out – if it’s not for you you can cancel your subscription at any time.
“Andy has a way of explaining things that I just haven’t seen on any other channel! His videos are honest and down to earth. The member zone is like a whole new level of information without the craziness of public forums. Glad to be on board!”
