Appliance Repair across Greater Manchester
What to know before you book
A faulty washing machine, oven or fridge is one of the most common calls a Manchester landlord or agent gets, and the first useful question is usually not "who can fix this" but "is fixing it worth it". An engineer diagnosing the fault properly, rather than guessing over the phone, is what turns that question into a real decision rather than a gamble.
Before booking, check whether the appliance is still under a manufacturer's warranty, since repairing it yourself through a third party can sometimes void that cover. Ask the engineer for a repair-or-replace comparison once they have diagnosed the fault, including realistic parts and labour costs against the price of a comparable new unit, so the tenant or landlord is not left waiting on a decision made in the dark.
Expect a diagnostic visit that identifies the actual fault, a written cost for the repair before parts are ordered, and - where a gas appliance such as a cooker or hob is involved - confirmation that the work is being carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, since that is a legal requirement regardless of who supplied the appliance. The engineer is an independent tradesperson who quotes you directly. FlatFix365 matches the fault to an engineer experienced with the make involved and can arrange replacement and old-unit removal in the same booking if repair is not the better option.

Diagnostic visits typically within 1 - 3 working days, with parts commonly fitted on a single return visit.

Appliance Repair - common questions
It depends on the fault and the appliance's age - a straightforward part, such as a door seal or a pump, is usually far cheaper than buying new, while a major fault on an older unit can make replacement the better value option. The engineer gives you both costs side by side before you commit to either.
Diagnostic visits are typically arranged within one to three working days. Many faults can be fixed on the same visit if the part is a common one carried in the van; less common parts are usually fitted on a single return visit once ordered, rather than multiple call-outs.
Yes - any appliance you supply as part of the letting must be safe and kept in working order for the duration of the tenancy. Electrical items should be tested at sensible intervals, and any gas appliance fault must be dealt with by a Gas Safe registered engineer, never a general handyman.
Yes, integrated washers, dishwashers, ovens and fridges are diagnosed and repaired in the same way as freestanding units, though removal and refitting into cabinetry can add time to the visit. Let the engineer know the appliance is integrated when you book so they arrive with the right tools.
