Business Information

With over 30 years experience in the Domestic Appliance Industry, I started my career with an Edinburgh firm, ACE Domestic Appliances. After 10 years service I moved to work with National Homecare (Servis UK) and was approached by Alan Wallace, of Wallace’s Domestic Appliances to take a position with his reputable company.

Having worked 18 years with Wallace’s I have now branched out to set up my own company, BR Domestic Appliance Specialist, based in Midlothian – covering Edinburgh and the Lothians.

My 19 year old washing machine decided to stop spinning in the middle of a pandemic. I called Billy and he came within 24 hours (masked and gloved) and was able to repair the machine with great efficiency and skill. Very positive experience and have no hesitation in recommending him unreservedly. Thank you.

Bill came out on the same day I called him and had my oven fixed within half an hour. He also made sure to keep to the guidelines for social distancing. He was professional, efficient, and I'm happy with the job and the price.

We cannot praise Billy enough. During these challenging times of Coronavirus, Billy came to our rescue. You see, we live in Switzerland, and my mother-in-law in Edinburgh. My mother-in-law's washing machine started making an awful noise and not spinning properly. So step 1, reach out to Billy (having found him on this site with great reviews). After discussion with him we decided to look for a new machine. Step 2, Billy went and disconnected the old machine, and then when the new machine was delivered he went back (the same day) and installed it (step 3). He went over an above in helping mum and we cannot thank him enough. He was reliable, efficient, caring and given he was dealing with an unusual situation extremely adaptable. My husband, myself and my mother-in-law would all recommend Billy highly. He made a challenging situation manageable especially when other traders and companies are being less helpful. He was also very reasonably priced. Thank you so much Billy, you are our hero of the times.

Washing machine broke down during the lock-down. Billy came out the same day, armed with his tool kit, mask and gloves. With his great knowledge and experience, the washing machine fault was diagnosed and fixed within the hour. Happy to recommend such a friendly and hard-working professional.

Billy provided a professional and dedicated service despite the current lockdown. We had an issue with the heating element in our oven, Billy arrived the following day and observed social distancing whilst wearing a mask and gloves an absolute plus for those who are vulnerable or may be uncomfortable with someone outwith your family coming into your home. Billy resolved the problem quickly and was very thorough. We would highly recommend using BR Domestic Appliance Specialist and will absolutely use in the future.

Excellent response and service, especially considering these difficult times of Covid 19. Billy came out at short notice when my oven broke down. He was professional and friendly , operating within the social distancing guidelines and using gloves and a mask. After assessment I decided it might be better to replace the oven. He sourced a new oven in a couple of hours and returned to fit it. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr Rutherford came out later the same day as I called to fix our broken oven (even during the pandemic) He very quickly identified and fixed the problem.
Also, he observed social distancing & wore a mask & gloves - which was very much appreciated.
If we ever need any work done again, we’ll definitely be contacting him.

After a lengthy search, without success during this pandemic, to find a domestic appliance specialist to repair our washer-dryer, we discovered Billy Rutherford, BRDomestic Appliance Repair Specialist, in Trusted Traders List we telephoned on 13 April and he came promptly the following day. He was well-prepared and well-equipped in view of the current restrictions and carried out the necessary repairs quickly and efficiently. We would not hesitate to call upon him again in the future and would highly recommend the service he provides.

My Dyson had broken down and was making a weird flapping popping noise.. 2 days later on my way back from a shop on day19 of lockdown I saw Billy’s van in a nearby street... I asked him advice .... he picked up my Dyson 30 mins later from outside my flat and brought it back serviced, parts replaced and repaired by 11am the next morning - prob 24 hours tops From start to finish...
Amazing work and super efficient.. would recommend him anytime.. had previously met him when he worked at Wallace’s also superb service and advice..

We contacted Billy from Oxford to help repair a cooker in our house in Edinburgh which is rented out. He replied promptly to our message on a Saturday evening then did the work on the bank holiday Monday. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and speedy. Happy to recommend.

Needed a Dyson hoover repaired. Spoke to Billy in the morning, he picked the hoover up in the afternoon. Dropped it off 2 days later in mint condition. He observed social distancing and wore a mask.
Very reasonably priced too.

Problem fitting a new oven element in my elderly mothers cooker (issues with spare
part fitting and access through back of cooker). Called Billy the afternoon before, and
with in 24hrs he arrived and fixed the element within 40mins. Especially impressed
with the way he conducted himself - so much so that he even tried to re-fit a door on one of my mothers kitchen unit despite him not being there to do it !!.
We always say we will use someone's services again when we fill out the after work
questionnaires - this is one of the instances where I will use them again. Will definitely be keeping Billy's business card in my wallet.

All the best and stay safe.

Oven stopped working, and with the COVID-19 situation ongoing, we were worried it may be a while before it could be repaired. BR Domestic Appliance Specialist responded to our query on the same day and was with us the next day. The oven was replaced and is now working perfectly.

Professional, quick, and we would highly recommend

I realised yesterday a bit on my hoover was broken - phoned Billy at lunchtime, he came and collected it yesterday afternoon and has been back to drop off the repaired hoover this morning. Amazing service, all the more appreciated at this time when we’ve to stay at home.
Highly recommend this business.
