Appliances of every kind, ask if yours isn't listed
Gas, oil and electric models installed, including replacements of much older cookers, with the flue, supply and hearth all handled as one job.
Freestanding and built-in range cookers fitted so the installation matches the quality of the appliance.
Old cookers dismantled and taken out, and the new appliance built in its place, without leaving the kitchen wrecked.
Annual servicing, fault finding and repair across the major manufacturers, including cooker boilers that also run heating and hot water.
The cabinetry, pipework and services around the cooker, so the finished kitchen works as a whole.
Free advice on which appliance suits the property, the fuel available and the way the kitchen is used, before anything is ordered.
The questions that come up before most cooker projects, and all of them have straight answers.
Nobody local will touch our Aga. Aga, Rayburn and range cookers are a specialism here, not a sideline, and the work is taken on across the county.
The last engineer made it worse. Diagnosis first, parts second. Plenty of this work is putting right an installation or repair that was never finished properly.
The cooker also runs our heating. Cooker, heating and hot water are handled by the same engineer, rather than split between trades who blame each other.
We do not know whether to repair or replace. An honest assessment of the appliance and what it will cost to keep, with no pressure to change it.
The kitchen has just been finished. Careful, clean working. Floors protected, the appliance handled properly and the kitchen left as it was found.
The same careful sequence, whether it is a service or a full replacement.
A visit to check access, the hearth, the flue and the fuel supply, with impartial advice on the right appliance.
Plain English, named appliance and components, including removal of the old cooker where that applies.
Protected floors, careful handling, and the appliance built and commissioned properly first time round.
Cooker run up, controls explained, safety documentation and guarantee paperwork handed over.
Recent cooker project
An existing Aga removed and a new one installed in its place, with the gas supply, flue and surrounding carpentry all handled in the same visit, working as the only Aga approved representative in Cornwall.
They are immaculately tidy and efficient. Phil’s knowledge of all aspects regarding the work is outstanding: carpentry, gas supply installation, boilers and most importantly Agas.
The things customers ask before booking. Anything else, just call.
Yes, both. Phil is a Rayburn Guild authorised engineer and works as an Aga approved representative in Cornwall, so installation, servicing, fault finding and repair are all covered by the same person.
Yes. Dismantling and removal of the existing appliance is part of the job and is included in the written quote, so there is no separate arrangement to make.
Not at all. Cooker boilers that also serve heating and hot water are common in Cornwall, and having the same engineer look after the cooker, the system and the servicing avoids the usual split between trades.
Free impartial advice on what suits your home is part of the service. Fuel available, the size of the kitchen, how you cook and whether the cooker needs to heat water all feed into the recommendation, before anything is ordered.
The workshop is in Playing Place, ten minutes from Truro. Aga, Rayburn and range cooker projects are taken on right across Cornwall, with day-to-day heating and plumbing concentrated closer to base.
