This corner of Johannesburg is made up of some of the city's most established suburbs: Northcliff and its hill, Fairland, Blackheath and Cresta along Beyers Naudé Drive, and the leafy streets of Linden, Emmarentia, Greenside and Montgomery Park. Homes here are often older, with laundries tucked into outbuildings, kitchens that have been redone over the years, and the odd steep driveway.
That mix means a mix of appliances too, from a new integrated dishwasher in a renovated kitchen to a tumble dryer that has done years of winters. Whatever it is, the technician comes to you, finds the fault where the appliance stands, and explains the repair and what it will cost before any work starts.

Older homes and their quirks
In older houses, the appliance isn't always the whole story. A washing machine plumbed into an old outside laundry may have a sticky tap or a narrow drain that it struggles to empty into. A stove on an old circuit may trip the power because of the wiring rather than the stove. The technician checks the supply and the connections at the appliance as part of finding the fault, and tells you plainly if the problem is in the house rather than the machine.
If it turns out to be a plumbing or wiring job, you'll know exactly what to ask a plumber or an electrician for.
Tumble dryers through the winter and the storms
Highveld winters are cold, and summer afternoons bring storms, so the tumble dryer works through both. When it starts blowing cold air, stops turning or takes two cycles to dry a load, it's usually a heater, a thermal fuse, a belt or a blocked vent, and each is a standard repair. See tumble dryer repairs in Northcliff for the faults we fix. Empty the lint filter after every load in the meantime.
Renovated kitchens
If your kitchen has been redone, the oven may be built into a tall unit and the dishwasher hidden behind a cupboard door. Both can be repaired in place, and slid out only when the repair needs it. Mention a custom door panel or a tight stone worktop when you book.
No call-out fee when we repair it.If no repair is done, a R500 call-out applies. The technician finds the fault and explains the repair before any work starts, so you decide whether to go ahead.
