Washing machine repair in Birmingham: Renters vs homeowners

If you’re a homeowner:

You’re usually responsible for sorting repairs. Keep receipts, especially for major fixes — they could come in handy for warranty claims or home insurance. Some engineers will provide a service report or breakdown of work done, which is useful to file.

If you’re renting:

Responsibility typically falls to your landlord — especially if the appliance was provided with the property. Contact your letting agent or landlord before booking a repair. In some cases, they may already have a preferred tradesperson or appliance service centre they use.

Check your tenancy agreement if you’re not sure. If you arrange a repair yourself, you might not be reimbursed unless you’ve agreed it with them first.
