🔧 Appliance Repair Add-On Services (Preventative Maintenance Guide)

When repairing household appliances, the main fault is often only part of the picture. Many breakdowns are caused or influenced by wear, blockages, buildup, or parts that are close to failing rather than fully broken.

To help improve reliability and reduce repeat issues, we offer optional add-on services during repairs. These are only carried out when relevant and always explained before any work is done.

The aim is simple: help your appliance run more efficiently, safely, and for longer after the repair.

🧺 Washing Machine Add-On Services

Washing machines rely heavily on water flow, drainage, and seals. Small issues in these areas can quickly turn into leaks or repeated breakdowns.

  Helps improve drainage performance, reduces pump strain, and prevents error faults caused by blockages.

• 💧 Inlet hose inspection or replacement – £20–£60

  Prevents leaks or bursts caused by worn or brittle hoses and improves water supply reliability.

• 🧼 Door seal seating clean & mould treatment – £15–£35

  Ensures the seal sits correctly and helps prevent recurring leaks, smells, or mould buildup.

  Reduces excess movement, noise, and long-term wear on internal components.

• 🔍 Leak point inspection (hoses and connections) – £10–£30
