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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Before you hire an electrician

In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
Look for consistent reviews across several named platforms, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
