As a hobby I repair and service small household appliances. For a few years now I have mainly dealt with vacuum cleaners often doing several a week. The Types of Appliance page shows other types of appliance I'm happy to try to repair or service.

I've always loved taking things apart to see how they work, so its great if I can repair items, save them from landfill and save the owners some money.

I find it frustrating but challenging that most manufacturers don't want their appliances repaired, they would rather you bought a new machine. Methods they use include casings that are held on with brittle plastic tabs, the plastic used can be very soft, screws are hidden and have security type heads. With care and experience most appliances can be opened up for repair but in rare cases collateral damage does occur.   

I am certified to undertake "Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment" (generally known as PAT testing) so I test items before I return them if necessary.

I still have a part time job and I volunteer at Dorking Repair Cafe  and the Edenbridge Repair Cafe. I have set up and run the Horley Repair Cafe @ St Wilfs, click this link to find out more - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570288325601

Items are brought to me by prior arrangement only, I am near the rail station in Horley, and I can usually offer a quick turnaround, subject to parts availability (if required). This saves you having to wait in for an appointment, and saves any mess in your property.  I am however willing to do call outs in some circumstances.
