Appliance repair engineers in Middlesbrough

What to put in your job description

• The appliance, the make and the model number (usually on a label inside the door or on the back).
• Roughly how old it is, and whether it is still under warranty.
• What is wrong: it won't start, leaks, doesn't heat or cool, makes a noise, or shows an error code.
• Whether it is built in or free standing.
• Whether it is a gas cooker or hob: gas work needs a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Don't put your name, phone number or address in the description: every trade who covers your area reads it. Your name, phone, email and address go only to the trades who take the job (3 at most).

Questions to ask before you hire

• Is there a call-out charge, and is it taken off the repair price?
• Do you carry parts for this make, or will you order them and come back?
• If the repair costs more than the machine is worth, will you tell me before you start?
• What cover do you give on the parts and the repair?
• For a gas cooker or hob: are you on the Gas Safe Register?

Registers and schemes to check

There is no legal register for appliance repairers. Work on a gas cooker, hob or other gas appliance must by law be done by an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. Before a repair, look the model up on the government's product recall list on GOV.UK: a recalled appliance is often repaired free by the maker. We don't check this for you yet.

Your council in Middlesbrough

Your local council deals with rubbish and bulky waste collections, and with planning if the job changes the outside of your home. For most of Middlesbrough that is Middlesbrough Council; a postcode at the edge may be in a neighbouring council's area.

We take jobs from TS1, TS2, TS3, TS4, TS5, TS6, TS7, TS8, TS9 for Middlesbrough. Trades choose the districts they cover.
