Know the home, know the fault

Properties across Exeter range from historic medieval, Tudor and Georgian designs to the new town development of Cranbrook. The city sits on a river that widens into a floodplain and estuary, while remaining somewhat protected from heavy rain by being in the rain shadow of the nearby Dartmoor upland. With a large student population attending the two university campuses, plus domestic tourists visiting the area, local kitchens see heavy use. In shared student accommodation or holiday lets, extractor hoods work hard to clear steam and cooking odours. When multiple people cook throughout the day, grease and moisture build up faster inside the extraction system. When an extractor hood loses suction, the issue is usually a blocked grease filter or a failing fan motor. Motors that vibrate or become noisy are struggling to turn, sometimes because grease has bypassed saturated filters and coated the internal fan blades. If the fan will not run at all, the control switch or the motor itself might have failed. Failed lights are another issue, which can be caused by blown bulbs, faulty lamp holders or a damaged switch unit. Proper extraction is important for managing moisture in the kitchen, particularly when boiling pans create heavy steam. During a visit, we look at fans that will not run or have lost suction, noisy or vibrating motors, and lights or switches that have failed. Please note that our cooking appliance repairs are electric and induction only. We do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance, focusing entirely on electric domestic appliances.
