Highlights
"Douglas was great from start to finish. He actually diagnosed the issue over the phone and gave me a rough idea of the cost, which was really helpful. When he came out, he confirmed it was the drain pump, replaced it, and had the dishwasher up and running again in no time. Really straightforward, honest service and everything was left clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend East Coast Appliances Ltd and would use again without hesitation."

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.
Job was attended to professionally (and friendly too!), and they when a small hose leak was discovered afterwards they came back the next day free of charge to sort it.
Brilliant friendly experts - well done
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
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.
Polite, informative young man. Had to order part, gave quotation for part before ordering with appx idea of getting work done. Work to be carried out later in month at our request. Would use again as prompt and reasonably priced
Very helpful and able to give me a price on the phone. Their next availability didn’t suit my schedule so they passed my details to another company to help me. This is definitely going above and beyond for their customers and I would highly recommend.
called east coast appliances as my washing machine and tumble dryer had stopped working I had seen they have good reviews and they do not lie. they pre diagnosed both of my machines over the phone and my washing machine I could do myself and saved me an extra charge but the tumble dryer I could not so they gave me an estimate over the phone and it was very well priced the engineers Doug and Tyler arrived within 2 days of the call within the 2 hour time slot and was very professional and fixed my tumble dryer within 45 minutes I am very happy with the service provided and will recommend to fri
Fitted my job in at short notice. Despite failing and refusing to work for several days, the appliance worked ok when they arrived. They carried out checks and suggested I monitor it, then they'd come to make necessary repairs.
Great communication, changed my day and time at short notice after they had a cancellation. Fixed the dishwasher quickly and kept me informed what they were doing as they did it
Absolutely fantastic, can't rate them highly enough. Will definitely use them again if any of my electrical appliances need repairing
The whole experience was very respectful. Doug explained everything I needed to know He was on time, clean and tidy and put everything back as it was before starting the process. Would definitely have him back for other jobs that may need doing
My dishwasher came up with an E15 error code and wouldn't complete the cycle, I called Doug and he knew exactly what was wrong with it, arranged a booking for the next day with his office, Doug came with the correct part and was able to fix it ! So pleased with the service and will definitely be recommending this company to anybody that asks.
Very friendly and tidy - was efficient at detecting fault. Gave good advice going forward. Really pleased with the whole service
Josh arrived on time of the time slot given (12.00-2.00pm) Very polite and pleasant young man. Diagnosed the fault immediately and carried out the repay. All done in 45mins. I was extremely pleased withe the service. Excellent.
When I booked the appointment Josh gave me an accurate quote up front. He gave me a time slot and updated me on the engineer’s ETA. On his arrival, Doug quickly diagnosed the fault and fitted a new drainage pump. Doug was very efficient and courteous and there was no mess at all. I would certainly use East Coast Appliances in the future and will not hesitate to recommend them to my friends.
Good service with a fast response time.
