Emergency Appliance Repair in Clerkenwell

Parking is controlled and much of EC1 sits close to or inside the Congestion Charge zone — already included in the price you see at booking. Many buildings need the engineer buzzed through. Flag anything awkward when you book: a appliance job often means carrying a part in, and an engineer parked three streets away loses you time you have paid for.

Your price is fixed once you book it, but it is not the same for everyone — it varies by day, by arrival window, by same-day or Sunday, by postcode and by brand. Whatever it comes to for your slot is shown before you pay, and it covers the call-out, the diagnosis and the labour on the appliance. Parts are quoted separately.

Two things help. If anything is leaking, turn the water off at the isolating valve and switch the appliance off at the wall before we arrive. And leave the appliance switched off but still plugged in — an engineer who can watch the fault happen in your Clerkenwell kitchen diagnoses it far faster than one working from a description.

Usually, yes. Book before midday and the same-day appliance slots across EC1 are normally still open — seven days a week, evenings included. The booking screen shows the windows genuinely left for Clerkenwell rather than promising something we cannot deliver.

You get it straight, with the reason, and in writing if a landlord or an insurer needs it. What you paid covers the Clerkenwell visit and the diagnosis, so it is not refunded once an engineer has been sent out — but nothing further is charged when the repair cannot go ahead, and you are not left guessing what to do with the appliance.

Water coming out of something, a burning smell, anything tripping your consumer unit, and a full freezer that has stopped freezing. Those jump the EC1 queue. A dishwasher washing badly does not — we will book that normally and say so, rather than charge you emergency money for it.

Separately from the labour, always. The van carries whatever fails most often on appliances, which is why a lot of EC1 jobs finish first time. Anything that has to be ordered gets priced for you before it is fitted, and only goes on once you say yes. Parts carry the manufacturer's warranty; our labour carries twelve months.

No. We are electric-appliance specialists and we are not Gas Safe registered, so gas work has to go to a Gas Safe registered engineer — that is the law, not a preference. If you have a dual-fuel cooker, the electric oven, grill and controls are all ours; the gas burners are not.
