Homes in Paignton, and what they need
About Paignton
The place and its homes
This coastal settlement on the shores of Tor Bay grew significantly from a small fishing community after a new harbour was built in the mid nineteenth century. The older central streets feature fine examples of Victorian architecture. In these period properties, kitchens were not originally designed for modern domestic appliances. Fitting a washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer into a Victorian layout can mean appliances are installed tightly against walls or under narrow counters. When machines are boxed in without adequate ventilation, fridge freezers and tumble dryers have to work harder to manage heat, which can lead to component failure. The local economy relies heavily on tourism and family holidays, meaning there is a wide selection of holiday accommodation. In holiday lets, domestic appliances endure heavy use during the summer season. Washing machines and washer dryers process continuous loads of towels and bedding, while dishwashers are run daily by visiting families. This intense cycle of use accelerates wear on moving parts like drum bearings, door hinges and pump filters. Whether it is a holiday apartment near the pier or a family home, we repair washing machines, dishwashers, electric ovens and cooling appliances.
02What we look out for
What these homes mean for your appliances
01
Heavy use in holiday accommodation washing machines
Holiday properties process large volumes of laundry during the tourist season. Continuous washing of heavy towels puts significant strain on washing machine drum bearings and motor carbon brushes. Overloading the drum can also damage the door seal, leading to leaks from the front of the appliance.
02
Poor ventilation for fridge freezers in older properties
The central streets feature many Victorian properties where modern appliances are squeezed into tight spaces. Fridge freezers and wine coolers need adequate airflow around the condenser coils to dissipate heat. Without this gap, the compressor runs constantly to maintain temperatures, which eventually causes the cooling system to fail.
03
Electric oven elements failing during family meals
Electric ovens and range cookers rely on heating elements that degrade over time through repeated heating and cooling cycles. When an element fails, it usually trips the household electrics or leaves the oven blowing cold air. We replace faulty elements in electric and induction cooking appliances.
03Where we go
Paignton and around it
Our repair area covers the whole of Paignton, including the Hookhills estate, Waterside, Broadsands and Galmpton. Because the settlement absorbed nearby villages as it expanded, we also visit homes in Goodrington and Preston. Beyond the immediate bay area, we travel to repair domestic appliances in the nearby towns of Torquay, Brixham, Totnes and Dartmouth.

No. We only repair electric and induction cooking appliances, such as electric ovens, electric cookers, electric range cookers, and electric or induction hobs. We do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs, or any type of gas appliance in your home or holiday let.
Dishwashers in holiday lets endure heavy daily use from visiting families. A failure to drain is usually caused by a blockage in the pump filter or the waste hose, often from food debris or broken glass. The drain pump itself can also fail and require a replacement part.
Yes. Many older properties built in the Victorian architectural style have compact kitchens where appliances are installed tightly under counters. We repair washing machines, washer dryers and tumble dryers in these spaces. The machine will need to be pulled out to access the internal components for the repair.
