Got a washing machine that’s making a weird noise? A boiler that won’t fire up on a cold morning? You’re not alone. Most homes in Nuneaton face a broken appliance at some point, and figuring out what to do next can feel overwhelming. This page pulls together the most useful guides from our blog so you can decide whether a quick fix is within reach or if it’s time to call in a professional.
Doing a little troubleshooting yourself often saves a few hundred pounds. For example, a clogged filter is the most common cause of a dryer that won’t heat. A quick clean with a screwdriver and a vacuum can restore performance in minutes. The same goes for a dishwasher that isn’t draining – checking the pump and the hose can spare you a callout fee.
When you’re dealing with a water heater, flushing out sediment is another low‑cost maintenance task. Our guide on “Water Heater Maintenance: Should You Flush or Drain?” walks you through the steps in plain English, with the tools you probably already have in the garage. Remember to turn off the power or gas before you start; safety first.
Some jobs need a trained eye. If you notice a gas smell near your boiler, or the oven won’t heat despite a blown fuse being replaced, it’s time to call a certified engineer. Mishandling gas or electrical components can be dangerous, and professional repairs often come with guarantees that protect you later.
Our post “Can a Plumber Fix a Boiler?” explains why a Gas Safe registered engineer is the right choice for most boiler issues. Likewise, an electrician should handle any work involving an electric hob or extractor fan, especially when wiring is involved. A quick call now can prevent costly damage down the line.
Beyond safety, a pro can diagnose hidden problems. A water heater that’s 20 years old may have a corroded anode rod that’s not obvious from the outside. Our “Should You Repair a 20 Year Old Water Heater?” guide helps you weigh repair costs against replacement, so you make an informed decision without guessing.
Whether you’re fixing a leaking washing machine, checking a boiler’s pressure valve, or learning when to replace a thermostat, the key is to start simple. Look at the symptoms, try the easy checks we list, and only call for help when the issue involves gas, high voltage, or internal components you’re not comfortable opening.
