No appliance repairer listed in Creetown yet.

An appliance repairer diagnoses and fixes faults in household appliances - washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, ovens, cookers and fridge-freezers.

Repairing an appliance is often far cheaper and less wasteful than replacing it, especially for higher-end machines that are built to last with the right maintenance.

A good repairer will diagnose the fault honestly, quote for parts and labour upfront and tell you straight if a repair isn't worth doing - that honesty is worth paying for.

Creetown is a small village on the east bank of the River Cree where it flows into Wigtown Bay, known for its granite quarries and the Creetown Gem Rock Museum.

The village was once a busy quarrying centre - Creetown granite was used in the construction of Liverpool docks and other major engineering projects.

The Gem Rock Museum houses an internationally significant collection of gemstones, crystals and fossils and is one of the most popular visitor attractions in Galloway.

Creetown sits on the A75 between Newton Stewart and Gatehouse of Fleet, with views across the estuary to Wigtown and the Machars.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
