Washing machine / dryer repair
Fridge & freezer repair, before the food goes.
Not cooling, freezing everything, leaking water or humming all night. We prioritise cooling faults because a warm fridge costs you money every hour it stays warm.

Fridge & freezer
Cooling faults, fixed fast.
A fridge that is not cooling is a clock running against a full shopping trip, so these get same-day priority. Freestanding, integrated and American-style side-by-side units.
Tap your problem ↓
Not cooling at all
Thermostats, fan motors, start relays and compressor faults. We diagnose which before quoting, because the difference in cost is significant and you deserve to know.
Book →
Freezing everything
Milk turning to ice in the fridge usually means a failed thermostat or a damper stuck open. An affordable fix that people often live with for months.
Book →
Water inside or on the floor
Blocked defrost drains are the usual culprit, and they are cheap to clear. Split water lines on plumbed models are the other.
Book →
Noisy or constantly running
Fan motors, worn compressor mounts and iced-up evaporators. A fridge that never switches off is quietly adding to your electricity bill.
Book →
Ice build-up & frost
Failed defrost heaters, timers and door seals letting warm air in. Cleared, replaced and tested through a full cycle.
Book →
Integrated & American-style
Integrated units refitted properly into the housing, and side-by-side American fridge-freezers including water and ice dispensers.

Not cooling is treated as urgent — there is food and money at stake.

Seals and thermostats
The cheap, common causes checked first — a worn door seal explains a lot of poor cooling.
