    Washing machine repair

    Posted 03 October

    My washing machine was tripping my RCD, I called East Coast Appliances who knew what was wrong as soon as I told them the fault , they were able to advise of a rough guide price and what they thought the problem was. Doug and Tyler visited, replaced the heating element and completed the repair efficiently. They were both respectful of my home and requests. Would 100% recommend this company to friends and family, 10/10 service.

    Washing machine repair

    Posted 07 July

    Douglas and Tyler arrived within the scheduled timeslot, and I received a text to let me know they were on their way. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my appliance and even had the part ready on the van, offering me the choice between a genuine replacement or a more affordable alternative. The whole experience was hassle-free, from booking to job completion. They were professional, efficient, and easy to deal with. 5 stars — I would highly recommend East Coast Appliances to anyone

    Checking reliability of oven

    Posted 22 May

    The guy checked the reliability of the oven. Thankfully the oven was reliable and working well. No work needed doing. They said they would still charge. But no invoice came through so I'm giving them full marks.
