No appliance repairer listed in Lasswade 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.

Lasswade is a historic village in the North Esk valley, connected to Bonnyrigg by the bridge over the river but retaining its own character.

It was a fashionable retreat in the 18th and 19th centuries - Sir Walter Scott lived here early in his married life and De Quincey wrote at Mavis Bush cottage nearby.

The village has a conservation area centred on the old kirkyard and the steep descent to the river, with mature woodland lining the valley.

Lasswade shares many practical amenities with Bonnyrigg but has the feel of a distinct, quieter settlement on the valley's eastern slope.

Midlothian is a compact council area immediately south of Edinburgh, stretching from the city bypass through the valleys of the North and South Esk rivers to the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills and the edge of the Scottish Borders.

The region has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining shaped communities like Newtongrange, Gorebridge and Loanhead for generations, and the National Mining Museum at Newtongrange preserves that history. Today those same towns are thriving residential centres with a sense of identity that predates their recent growth.

Dalkeith is the administrative centre, with its impressive palace grounds and busy high street, while Penicuik sits against the Pentlands with the feel of a self-contained town. Bonnyrigg and Lasswade, once separate villages, have grown together into Midlothian's most populous settlement.

Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by The Da Vinci Code, draws visitors from around the world, and the Pentland Hills Regional Park offers walking, cycling and riding within easy reach of the city - a landscape that makes Midlothian feel far more rural than its proximity to Edinburgh suggests.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Eskbank, Newtongrange and Gorebridge to Edinburgh Waverley and has driven significant housing growth. Midlothian is one of Scotland's fastest-growing council areas, attracting families and professionals who want space, green surroundings and a strong community without the city price tag.
