Lostwithiel, Cornwall's former medieval capital, sits gracefully along the River Fowey between Bodmin Moor and the coast, maintaining its status as one of Cornwall's most historically significant market towns. The town features a delightful mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, and characterful stone cottages, many dating back centuries and reflecting Lostwithiel's rich heritage as a former port and stannary town. Located just off the A390 and perfectly positioned between Liskeard and St. Austell, Lostwithiel serves as a gateway to both Bodmin Moor and the beautiful Fowey estuary.
In the PL22 area, we frequently encounter drainage issues related to the older plumbing systems common in Lostwithiel's period properties, particularly in the Victorian terraces and historic cottages. The town's softer Cornish water means we also regularly service machines with soap buildup and filter blockages that can affect performance over time.
For Lostwithiel residents, we typically recommend repairing washing machines under 8 years old, especially given the town's distance from major appliance retailers and the value of maintaining reliable appliances in this close-knit community. Given Lostwithiel's character properties, many with specific space constraints, repairing your existing machine often proves more practical than sourcing and installing a replacement.
“Really easy process. Described the fault, got contacted by two engineers the same day, chose the better-priced one. Turned out to be the carbon brushes — sorted in under an hour.”
“Good experience overall. Took about 3 hours to hear back but the engineer who came was excellent — knew exactly what the fault was from my description before he even looked at it.”
“Got 3 quotes within an hour. Engineer came next morning, fixed the drum bearing and it's been perfect ever since. Would have cost me £400 for a new machine — paid £140 for the repair.”
