Homes in Totnes

Know the home, know the fault

Working in Totnes, a market town at the head of the River Dart estuary, means visiting properties of all ages. The historic wealth here is visible in the numerous merchants' houses built during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is said this area has more listed buildings per person than any other town. Historic homes usually have uneven floors or quirky kitchen layouts, which can make pulling out a built-in dishwasher tricky. The town also draws tourists interested in its status as a transition town, meaning some properties serve as holiday lets where appliances get heavy use from different guests. Families are also drawn to the alternative private schools providing primary and secondary education, keeping domestic kitchens busy. A dishwasher that will not drain usually has a blockage in the filter or a jammed drain pump, leaving dirty water sitting in the base at the end of a cycle. When dishes come out wet or cold, the heating element or its wiring has usually failed, stopping the machine from reaching the correct temperature. Poor cleaning results are sometimes caused by blocked spray arms or a faulty wash motor that cannot push water around the cabinet with enough pressure. Leaks can develop from worn door seals or split internal hoses, while error codes might point to a control board issue preventing the cycle from starting. When visiting a property in Bridgetown or the surrounding area, we look at draining faults, heating issues, leaks, and machines that refuse to start. We check spray arms, door seals, and error codes to find out why the appliance is not cleaning properly. We repair appliances in customers' homes, including washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges, freezers, and electric ovens. We do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance.
