Wells is a captivating cathedral city nestled in the Mendip Hills, famous for its stunning Gothic cathedral, medieval Bishop's Palace, and the ancient Vicars' Close. The city features an enchanting mix of housing from 14th-century stone cottages and elegant Georgian townhouses in the historic centre to Victorian terraces along Chamberlain Street and modern family homes in developments like Strawberry Way. Located in central Somerset with excellent access to Bristol, Bath, and Glastonbury, Wells combines rich heritage with modern amenities, making it a highly desirable place to live.
In Wells' older properties, we frequently encounter washing machine issues related to hard water from the Mendip aquifer, which can cause limescale buildup in pumps and heating elements. The city's period buildings sometimes present drainage challenges that can lead to poor water evacuation and subsequent bearing problems.
Given Wells' mix of period properties and modern homes, we often find that repairing your existing washing machine is more practical than replacing it, especially considering potential installation challenges in older buildings. Our engineers can advise whether your machine's age and condition make repair worthwhile, taking into account the specific requirements of your Wells property.
“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.”
“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.”
“Machine was leaking and I was worried about the cost. The engineer diagnosed it as the door seal, gave me a fixed price before starting, and had the part in his van. Done and dusted in 45 minutes.”
