AGA Servicing & Repairs
Professional AGA maintenance and repair services for all models across Devon, Cornwall & Somerset. Over 20 years of experience keeping AGAs running perfectly.
Your AGA Specialist Across Devon
For over two decades, I've dedicated my career to understanding every intricacy of AGA cookers. From the classic two-oven models to the latest electric conversions, I've serviced hundreds of AGAs across Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset. What sets my approach apart is treating each AGA as unique โ because they are. An oil-fired AGA in a coastal Cornwall cottage faces different challenges than a gas model in a modern Exeter kitchen.
My workshop carries an extensive inventory of genuine AGA components โ from thermocouples and burner jets to flue dampers and control knobs. This means most repairs happen on the same day, getting your beloved cooker back to its optimal performance without lengthy waits for parts. I understand that your AGA isn't just an appliance; it's the heart of your home, providing warmth, cooking excellence, and comfort year-round.
Whether you're experiencing temperature inconsistencies, unusual noises, increased fuel consumption, or your AGA has stopped working entirely, I diagnose issues quickly and fix them right. My emergency callout service means you're never left in the cold when your AGA lets you down unexpectedly.

Simple practices to keep your AGA running smoothly between services
Watch for Warning Signs
Pay attention to changes in performance. If your AGA is taking longer to heat food, making unusual noises, or if you notice increased fuel consumption, don't ignore it. Early intervention prevents costly repairs.
Keep It Clean
Wipe down enamel surfaces regularly with a damp cloth. Clean up spills immediately to prevent baked-on residue. Keep the area around your AGA clear to ensure proper air circulation for combustion.
Annual Service is Essential
Book your service at the same time each year โ many customers choose spring or autumn. Regular servicing prevents breakdowns, improves efficiency, and is often required to maintain warranties.
Check Ventilation
Ensure vents and air bricks aren't blocked by furniture, storage, or garden growth. Good ventilation is critical for safe, efficient combustion and prevents dangerous fume build-up.
Monitor Fuel Quality
For oil AGAs, ensure your oil tank has a good filter and check for water contamination. Poor quality fuel leads to burner problems and increased servicing needs.
Inspect Your Flue
Have your flue and chimney swept regularly by a qualified professional. A blocked or damaged flue is dangerous and affects AGA performance. Birds' nests are a common issue in spring.
Winter Preparations
For oil AGAs, consider fuel additives to prevent waxing in cold weather. Ensure external pipes are insulated. Check your AGA is running well before the coldest months when you need it most.
Temperature Monitoring
Get to know your AGA's normal operating temperatures. If ovens are consistently hotter or cooler than usual, it may indicate thermostat or control issues needing professional attention.
Keep Records
Maintain a log of services, repairs, and parts replacements. This helps identify recurring issues and is valuable information when selling your property. I provide detailed service reports for this purpose.
๐ก Professional Tip
The single best thing you can do for your AGA is annual professional servicing. I've seen AGAs that have run reliably for 50+ years with proper maintenance, and I've seen 10-year-old models fail due to neglect. Your AGA is a significant investment โ protect it with regular expert care.
