For South Hetton residents, we recommend repairing washing machines under 8 years old, as this typically proves more cost-effective than replacement. Given the mix of housing types in DH6, from compact terraces to larger family homes, we help you choose the most practical and economical solution for your specific situation.
“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.”
“I nearly bought a new machine but decided to get a repair quote first. So glad I did — the pump replacement cost £95 and it's worked perfectly for 6 months since.”
