Homes in Gunnislake

Know the home, know the fault

Residential properties built during the nineteenth-century mining boom make up a large part of the housing in this Tamar Valley settlement. Houses from that era were not originally designed with modern ventilation in mind, meaning a functioning extractor is essential to manage cooking odours and moisture. In a village surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, keeping the kitchen air clear relies heavily on these units. Whether the property is an older terrace or a more recent build, a cooker hood that has stopped pulling air leaves the kitchen vulnerable to lingering smells and condensation. When an extractor fan loses suction or stops running completely, the issue often lies with a burnt-out motor or a heavily blocked grease filter restricting the airflow. Motors can also become noisy or start vibrating over time as bearings wear down or if grease builds up on the fan blades, throwing them off balance. Another issue is when the lights or control switches fail. A broken switch might prevent the fan from turning on at all, while failed lighting makes cooking difficult. Sometimes, a simple replacement of the switch mechanism or addressing the motor connections is needed to restore normal operation. During a visit to Gunnislake, we look at fans that will not run or have lost suction, noisy or vibrating motors, and lights or switches that have failed. While we handle electric cooking appliances, we do not work on gas cookers or gas hobs.
