Microwave Repairs in Preston — how it works
Preston sits on our Rutland round, so getting an engineer out here is a matter of fitting you into a day we're already working, not a special trip. Tell us the make, model and what the machine is doing wrong when you call, and we'll bring the likely parts with us. Most jobs are done in one visit.
This is Preston in Rutland, the LE15 village near Oakham — not Preston in Lancashire, which we don't cover. We're regularly in Oakham and Seaton, and the same round takes in Melton Mowbray and Wymondham, so a Preston call rarely waits long.
Round here that means LE15 — if your postcode is one of those, you are well inside our patch.
That covers Barleythorpe, Billesdon, Tilton, Braunston and Martinsthorpe too — we are across this area most weeks.
Washing machines account for more of our LE work than anything else — bearings, pumps, drum problems, doors that won't unlock. After that it's fridges not holding temperature and ovens losing heat or tripping the electrics. Dishwashers and microwaves make up the rest, and we carry common spares for all of them.
Ring us with the fault and the model number and we'll book you a slot on the next run through Rutland. You'll be told what the repair costs before we start.

What our customers say
Common questions
How much does microwave repair cost in Preston?
It is £66 including VAT for a qualified engineer to come out and diagnose the fault. If we can fix it on the spot without needing a part, the total is £84 including VAT. Any parts needed are quoted on site before we fit them — you decide.
Is it worth repairing a microwave?
Built-in and combination microwaves are worth repairing — a failed magnetron, door switch or touch panel is a fraction of the cost of replacing an integrated unit that has to match the housing.
How quickly can you get to me in Preston?
We offer same-day and next-day slots across Preston. Book before 1pm and same-day is usually possible. We are open Mon–Fri 7am–7pm and Sat 9am–5pm and Sun 10am–4pm.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes — every repair carries a 90-day workmanship guarantee. If our work is at fault in that time we come back and put it right at no charge.
Do I have to pay anything up front?
No. Nothing is taken when you book. You pay the engineer once the visit is done, and any parts are quoted and agreed with you before we fit them.
What makes of microwave do you repair?
All the major makes — Bosch, Beko, Samsung, Hotpoint, Hoover, AEG, LG, Indesit, Zanussi, Neff, Miele, Candy and the rest. If yours is an unusual make, call us on 0115 648 0929 and we will tell you straight away whether we can help.
