01Local knowledge
Homes in Gunnislake, and what they need
About Gunnislake
The place and its homes
Today, the area is mainly residential with a small handful of businesses ranging from pubs to garages and small shops. It is located in the Tamar Valley designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, though some recent industrial development has been attempted and achieved. For instance, early 2006 saw Hingston Down Quarry install a new asphalt production tower which is easily noticeable as it is proud of the skyline.

What that means for your appliances
In residential settlements that expanded during nineteenth-century industrial booms, kitchens come in various shapes and sizes. Fitting modern domestic appliances into these spaces means paying attention to ventilation and clearances. Fridge freezers and wine coolers require adequate airflow around their condenser coils to operate efficiently and maintain internal temperatures. When kitchens are updated with integrated appliances hidden behind cabinet doors, alignment is crucial. If a wooden fascia door sags on its hinges, it can prevent an integrated washing machine or electric oven from closing properly. A poorly sealed door allows heat or moisture to escape, forcing the appliance to work harder and potentially causing condensation issues or uneven cooking results.
02What we look out for
What these homes mean for your appliances
01
Managing washing machine vibration on wooden floors
Washing machines and washer dryers generate significant force during a spin cycle. If the appliance is not levelled correctly on a solid surface, the drum can vibrate excessively. This movement puts strain on the suspension legs and bearings, which eventually causes a loud rumbling noise during operation.
02
Frost build-up in integrated fridge freezers
When a fridge freezer is built into a kitchen cabinet, the outer wooden door must align perfectly with the appliance door. If the hinges drop, the magnetic seal cannot close completely. Warm air enters the fridge compartment, causing heavy frost to form on the back wall.
03
Uneven heating in electric ovens and cookers
Electric ovens and range cookers rely on heating elements to maintain a steady temperature. Over time, the internal filament inside a fan element can degrade and break. When this happens, the oven will circulate cold air, leaving food undercooked even when the thermostat light is on.

No, we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs, or any gas appliance. Our repair service is strictly for electric cooking appliances. We work on electric ovens, electric cookers, electric range cookers, electric hobs, and induction hobs, as well as cooker hoods and microwaves.
Standing water in a dishwasher usually points to a blocked filter or a restricted drain hose. Food debris can bypass the mesh and jam the drain pump impeller. If the appliance is plumbed into the same waste pipe as a sink, a blockage in the household plumbing can also prevent draining.
A tumble dryer needs good airflow to remove moisture. If the lint filter is blocked or the condenser unit is clogged with fabric fibres, the warm air cannot circulate properly. This forces the heater to work longer, which increases energy consumption and extends the drying cycle significantly.
