My washing machine died so I called for a repair. He was extremely honest in telling me the machine was uneconomic to repair, going into extremely helpful detail as to the probable nature of the fault. the probable cost & the likely (short) lifespan of the machine if repaired due to age and brand. He even explained to me all the ways machines are inadvertently abused by customers - using fast wash more than very occasionally, too much detergent and not appreciating that only specific programmes can take the maximum load - unknown to me each programme has a load limit. He even told me which machines to avoid, which to buy & the reasons why. In fact Which should be aware that one apparently notoriously bad brand for reliability/ease of repair - an issue confirmed by other engineers and online forums - is actually recommended by Which, which is somewhat worrying for subscribers. Incredibly courteous & patient, even though he had advised me not to pay him for a repair. He will be my first port of call in future. Recommended.

Chris came to see our ageing Samsung fridge freezer and instantly we felt comfortable with him. Once he had diagnosed the problem he explained the possibilities and left us with a working freezer once again! I could not recommend Chris highly enough, friendly, uncomplicated and very efficient, arriving on time as promised.

Our washing machine started making terrible noises and we feared the worst - made an appointment with Chris Talabi to come and take a look - he arrived promptly (same day!), diagnosed the likely problem within moments and set about replacing the aged part despite problems due to a previous poorly carried out repair by another engineer. The repair was achieved and the washing machine lives to wash another day! Felt very safe with his Covid protocols. And all at a very reasonable cost.

I am pretty sure my Bosch washing machine needed new bearings as the drum had a lot of play in it and was not getting going on the spin cycle when full of washing. When I called Chris he explained due to the way Bosch machines are built I would most likely need to replace the whole drum and as such not worth the repair bill. As he said "treat yourself as it is Black Friday" and get a Beko or LG which in his opinion are better machines and can be fixed when they go wrong unlike the newer Bosch ones which tend to need the official company service provider who are very expensive. As it happens I have also had a problem with my Miele tumble drier making a knocking noise for a couple of years which he diagnosed as the sensor brushes being worn down when I described it to him. I was booking him to come and fix it but unfortunately he does not come to N1 where I live. I have tackled various small repairs on my washing machines and driers in the past so he said it was pretty easy to do and then proceeded to give me step by step directions for me to fix it myself and if I had any problems when I had it apart to give him a call and he could give me further advice. That is going beyond the call of duty! Hence I did not use his services but came away with a great impression of him and only sorry he doesn't cover my area for any future breakdown.

Chris came out promptly to assess a problem with our dishwasher not cleaning things properly. He observed very good Covid 19 protocol, including spraying the whole area first with a specialist misting. He did as much as he could on the first visit, giving everything a good clean out in the process, and advised that if this did not work, it would probably need a new pump. He advised the rough price of a pump, and said coming back to fit it would be included in the base fee. We did need a new pump, but on his second visit to fit it, he discovered he was unable to get the dishwasher out because the flooring people had welded one of the legs to the floor with glue/screed. He then had to make a third visit, to break this leg, then fit the pump and a new leg. He only charged half fee for the third visit. We felt his service was professional, prompt, polite and friendly, and came at a reasonable price which was not based on clock-watching. His diagnosis was correct, and he gave general advice on how to get the best out of your machine. The dishwasher is now fine. We would definitely recommend him to others.

From making contact, to the process for booking a repair, through to the phone call to book a time slot and arriving on time the process was faultless. On arrival he was professional and personable. A quick repair was delivered including extra work to improve the outcome for me. The whole experience was excellent and was a good service at a reasonable cost. I would recommend this company

You often hear horror stories about appliance repairs often costing more than just replacing it with a new one. However, with Chris, this is no the case. He's clearly incredibly experienced with an abundance of knowledge on all your kitchen appliances. He turned up when he said he would, his communication beforehand was exceptional. The work was done with care, and he even had a special sanitising fog machine to protect himself and us from COVID. As suspected the heating element had died but he made sure that my 'theory' was 'fact' by thoroughly checking all aspects of the machine.

Quick prompt service. Kept to budget specified. Polite and respectful. Took proper Covid precautions.

Phone Chris on a Monday evening for a non-urgent problem with our upright freezer, which was not defrosting automatically. He came on Wednesday morning and identified the parts required to fix it. He came back on Friday morning with the parts which he then fitted. The freezer has worked fine since then. Chris was very professional and knew his job. He wore a mask and disinfected the area where he was working with a hospital type fogging device. He came when he said he would, and his charges were reasonable. I would use him again and would highly recommend.

A slow leak from a 10 year old Bosch washing machine was fixed in no time. Booking the repair was simple and the timeslot confirmed the day before. Chris turned up on time and able to quickly identify the problem. He was professional and efficient, leaving everything tidy once the job was done. The additional challenge of a stacked tumble dryer was not a problem for Chris. The price for the work was fair and I would definitely recommend him.
