Homes in Tavistock

Know the home, know the fault

Properties around Tavistock range from homes for miners constructed during the mid-nineteenth century to the distinct local Bedford style of architecture seen in many cottages. The area is expanding rapidly as a residential base for people who commute to Plymouth, alongside a sizeable retired population. It also serves as a hub for visitors exploring West Devon and Dartmoor. In busy commuter households or properties accommodating tourists, washing machines run heavy cycles of clothing and bedding. Older cottages might have smaller utility spaces, meaning machines are sometimes pushed tightly under counters. This can put strain on hoses and make vibration more noticeable if the appliance is not sitting perfectly level on the floor. When a washing machine will not drain or spin, the issue is usually found in the pump area. Blockages from coins or hair can stop the impeller from turning, leaving water sitting in the drum. If the machine will not fill or start, the door lock might be failing to engage properly, or the inlet valve could be faulty. Leaks typically originate from degraded door seals, loose internal hoses or a cracked pump housing. Excessive vibration on a spin cycle or a noisy drum points towards worn suspension legs or failing drum bearings. We also diagnose heating faults where the element has failed, causing the appliance to display error codes or trip the electrics mid-cycle. We diagnose and repair washing machines directly in your home. During a repair, we look at draining, spinning, filling and heating faults. We inspect the mechanisms for doors that will not open or close, trace leaks from seals and hoses, and investigate machines that trip the electrics. Our domestic appliance repair service covers washing machines, washer dryers and tumble dryers, though we do not work on gas appliances.
