Homes in Okehampton

Know the home, know the fault

Properties around the northern edge of Dartmoor range from older buildings dating back to when the settlement grew on the medieval wool trade, through to twenty-first century housing developments on the eastern edge. With new homes also being built in the area, kitchens vary considerably in size and layout. A modern fitted kitchen might house a built-in single or double electric oven at eye level, while an older property could rely on a freestanding electric cooker slotted between existing cabinets. Whatever the setup, a broken cooking appliance disrupts daily routines. When an electric oven fails to heat, the issue is usually a blown heating element. A fan oven might still circulate air, but the food remains cold if the circular element surrounding the fan blade has failed. Uneven cooking can occur when a thermostat stops reading the internal temperature accurately, causing the appliance to overheat and burn meals or shut off too early. Sometimes, the main household electrics trip the moment the oven is switched on, which points to an earth leak from a degraded component. Physical wear also takes a toll, leaving door hinges unable to close fully or seals letting heat escape. We work exclusively on electric and induction cooking appliances, so we do not repair gas cookers or gas hobs. We travel out to homes across the vicinity, including nearby places like South Zeal, to diagnose and repair faults. During a visit, we look at ovens that will not heat or only heat on some functions, alongside those that trip the electrics. We also investigate faulty thermostats, controls and clocks, as well as replacing worn door hinges, seals and glass.
