Gas Stove and Gas Hob Repairs Glenwood
Gas stoves and gas hobs are common in Glenwood homes, apartments, restaurants, cafés, rental properties, and shared accommodation because they offer fast cooking and can be useful during electricity interruptions.

Air Conditioner Repairs Glenwood
Durban’s heat and humidity make air conditioning important in Glenwood homes, flats, offices, medical rooms, shops, salons, restaurants, cafés, guest houses, and student accommodation.

Water too hot
Geyser leaking
Geyser tripping electricity

After inspection, we explain whether repair or replacement is the better option based on the geyser’s age, condition, and repair cost.
Tumble Dryer Repairs Glenwood
We repair vented, condenser, heat pump, and selected commercial tumble dryers. If your dryer is not heating, taking too long to dry clothes, cutting out, making noise, or showing error codes, our technicians can inspect and repair the fault.
Common tumble dryer repairs include heating element replacement, thermostat repairs, belt replacement, drum faults, motor problems, blocked vents, sensor issues, and control board faults.
Extractor Fan Repairs Glenwood
Extractor fans help remove steam, smoke, grease, moisture, and odours from kitchens, bathrooms, restaurants, cafés, offices, and commercial spaces. When an extractor fan becomes noisy, weak, blocked, or stops working, ventilation problems can build up quickly.
