Dishwasher or glasswasher down?
A broken machine can bring service to a halt. I’m a warewash specialist with over 20 years in the commercial catering industry, here to help get you back up and running. Repairs, servicing and installations across Bristol and the surrounding areas.
Or send the details of your machine and what you need and I’ll be in touch.
You deal with me, the engineer, directly. No call centre and no waiting in a queue.

Recent jobs
Breakdown: Proton Washrite dishwasher not starting
Called out to a dishwasher that wouldn’t start its cycle. I diagnosed a seized wash pump and suspected a blockage, so I removed the pump and found a metal bracket lodged in the pump housing and hose. I removed it, refitted the pump and tested the machine, and it was back up and running.
Hobart dishwasher installation
A new Hobart undercounter dishwasher supplied, wired, commissioned and handed over ready for service.
Breakdown: Hobart glasswasher not draining
Called out to a glasswasher that wouldn’t drain. The drain fitting was packed solid with debris and sludge. Cleared, cleaned and re-secured, and the machine was draining freely again.
Lincat fryer element replacement
Fryer not heating. The element had failed, so it was replaced, wired in and tested, and the fryer was back up to temperature.
