Homes in Torquay, and what they need
About Torquay
The place and its homes
Situated on the southwestern coast of England, forming one-third of Torbay on the western side of the bay, Torquay has a population of about 48,563 people. Originally based upon fishing and agriculture, the local economy began to develop into a fashionable seaside resort in the early nineteenth century. The modern urban area is made up of a number of small settlements that were amalgamated. Wellswood and the Lincombes were built up by wealthy Victorians who, influenced by their travels around the Mediterranean, built large villas with Italianate features and towers. In larger historic properties, kitchens are sometimes expanded, meaning washing machines might sit further from the original plumbing, putting extra strain on drain pumps.

What that means for your appliances
The second phase in the expansion of the town began when Torre railway station was opened on 18 December 1848. After World War II several private high-rise blocks of flats were constructed above the Rock Walk cliffs and harbour, giving the area a Monte Carlo feel. In high-rise apartments, appliances like washer dryers are a practical choice when outdoor drying space is limited. When a washer dryer stops drying but still washes, the issue is sometimes a blocked condenser chamber or a tripped thermal thermostat. We repair these appliances, along with fridges, freezers, and electric ovens, in homes across the area.
02What we look out for
What these homes mean for your appliances
01
Dishwasher drainage faults in holiday accommodation
Seaside resorts have many holiday lets where dishwashers run heavily during the season. A dishwasher that fails to drain at the end of a cycle might have a blocked pump filter or a kinked waste hose. Clearing debris from the filter area resolves some drainage problems.
02
Washer dryer heating failures in apartments
Flats without outdoor space rely on tumble dryers and washer dryers. If a dryer drum turns but the clothes remain wet, the heating element or a thermal fuse may have failed. Lint build-up restricts airflow, which causes the machine to overheat and trip the safety thermostats.
03
Integrated fridge freezer temperature problems
Modernised kitchens feature integrated fridge freezers hidden behind cabinet doors. If the appliance struggles to maintain a cold temperature, poor ventilation around the condenser coils is a possible cause. A failing compressor or a faulty thermostat also prevents the fridge from cooling properly.

Call 01752 922765Yes, we travel to homes near the English Riviera Wheel, Torre Abbey, and Kents Cavern. We cover the whole bay area.
No, we do not work on gas hobs, gas cookers, or any gas appliance. Our cooking appliance repairs are strictly limited to electric ovens, electric cookers, electric range cookers, and electric or induction hobs. We also repair cooker hoods and microwaves.
Washing machines in apartments need to sit perfectly level on a solid floor. If the machine rocks, the spin cycle will cause heavy vibration. Worn suspension legs or damaged drum bearings also create excessive movement and a loud rumbling noise during the spin.
A clicking noise from a wine cooler usually indicates a fault with the starter relay or the compressor. If the appliance is built into a cabinet, poor ventilation causes the compressor to overheat and shut down. We repair wine coolers, fridges, and freezers in homes across the bay.
