Know the home, know the fault

Over the past two centuries, clay mining brought continued employment and prosperity to the area. Today, homes around the Teign Estuary range from historic rural estates like Whiteway Barton to modern properties built during the extension of Calvados Park. With older teenage students catered for by Teign School and its sixth form college, busy local households rely on their kitchen appliances daily. Extractor hoods in these varied kitchens work hard to clear steam and cooking odours. In older rural homes, a working extractor helps prevent moisture building up on cold walls. In newer properties, open-plan living means a hood needs to be effective at stopping cooking smells from travelling into living areas. When an extractor stops pulling air effectively, the kitchen quickly fills with steam and condensation. This loss of suction is sometimes caused by a failing fan motor, or it might be a heavily blocked grease filter restricting the airflow. Motors can also become noisy or start vibrating heavily while running, which usually points to worn internal bearings or an unbalanced fan blade. Another issue is when the lights or the main control switches fail, leaving the cooking area dark or making it impossible to change the fan speed. We visit addresses from the centre out towards Coombesend. During a repair visit, we look at fans that will not run or have lost suction, noisy or vibrating motors, and lights or switches that have stopped working. We repair these appliances directly in your home. Please note that our cooking appliance repairs are electric and induction only, and we do not work on gas appliances.
