Repairs in Melbourne

Getting an appliance repaired in Melbourne

Melbourne is a small South Derbyshire town just south of the Trent, with Kings Newton next door and Ticknall a few miles to the west. Our engineers repair appliances across all three, in the DE73 district.

Older homes here often keep a fridge or freezer in a garage or outbuilding. Not every model is built to run in a cold space: the climate class on its rating plate shows the room temperatures it’s designed for, and one outside that range can struggle in winter. Check it before booking, and tell us where the appliance stands.

Which one’s stopped working?

Before we arrive

Three things that help the visit.

  1. Find the model number

    It’s on a label inside the door, around the door frame or on the back. A photo of it, and of any error code, helps the engineer bring the right parts.

  2. Tell us how it’s fitted

    Freestanding or built in, stacked, in a utility room or garage. Clear the way, but leave the appliance where it is.

  3. Mention access and parking

    A permit, a gate code, a shared entrance or stairs. A quick note helps the engineer arrive on time and prepared.

Booking a repair in Melbourne

Is this Melbourne in Derbyshire?

Yes. This page covers Melbourne in South Derbyshire, in the DE73 district south of Derby. Put your full postcode into the quote form to confirm your address.

Do you cover Kings Newton and Ticknall?

Yes. Both are in the DE73 district with Melbourne, and our engineers cover all of it, along with Chellaston and Swarkestone.

Does a visit to Melbourne cost more than one in Derby?

No. The labour price is set by the appliance, its make and how it’s fitted, so a Melbourne address is quoted the same way as one in the city.

Does the online quote include parts?

No. The quote covers labour: the engineer finding the fault and carrying out the repair. If a part is needed, the engineer tells you which one and what it costs, and waits for your go-ahead before fitting it.

How soon can an engineer come to Melbourne?

Visits are available on the same or next day where the diary allows. Pick a preferred day and a morning or afternoon slot when you book, and the team checks the engineers’ diaries and contacts you to confirm the appointment.

About Melbourne

Melbourne has an unexpected claim to fame. Melbourne Hall was the seat of the Lamb family, and William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, was Queen Victoria’s first Prime Minister. The Australian city of Melbourne was named after him in 1837, and so indirectly after this small Derbyshire town.

Thomas Cook, whose excursions launched popular travel, was born in Melbourne in 1808 and worked as a boy on the Melbourne estate. He later paid for the memorial cottages on High Street, built in 1890 and 1891, which still stand today.
