Garden Machinery Servicing & Repairs

Keep Your Garden Gear in Top Condition

Your lawnmower and garden machinery are vital tools for maintaining a beautiful outdoor space. To ensure they perform at their best, year after year, regular servicing and prompt repairs are essential. Neglecting these crucial maintenance tasks can lead to decreased efficiency, costly breakdowns, and a shorter lifespan for your valuable equipment. Whether you're a seasoned gardener with a sprawling estate or a homeowner with a modest lawn, understanding the importance of professional care for your machinery is key.

This guide will delve into the comprehensive services available to keep your lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, and other garden tools in peak working order. We'll explore the benefits of a thorough annual service, the types of repairs we undertake, and the specialised sharpening services we offer. Our aim is to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions about the maintenance of your garden machinery, ensuring it's always ready for the task at hand.

The Importance of a Comprehensive Annual Service

An annual service is far more than just a quick oil and spark plug change. It's a preventative maintenance programme designed to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major problems. A professional service ensures that every component of your machine is checked, cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted for optimal performance and longevity. Think of it as a health check-up for your machinery, ensuring all systems are functioning correctly.

What Does a Full Service Entail?

Our comprehensive servicing includes a multi-point inspection and maintenance process:

• Thorough Cleaning: The entire machine is meticulously cleaned to remove grass clippings, dirt, and debris that can hinder performance and cause corrosion.
• Engine Checks: We meticulously check the engine for correct operation. If any issues are detected, we will diagnose and remedy them, ensuring smooth and efficient running.
• Fuel System Flush: Contaminated or old fuel can wreak havoc on small engines. We flush the entire fuel system and replace the fuel with Aspen alkylate petrol. This high-quality fuel is virtually free from ethanol, aromatics, and benzene, making it significantly less harmful than regular petrol. It keeps engines cleaner, leading to better performance and a longer lifespan. Aspen fuel also remains stable for up to five years, unlike standard petrol which can degrade quickly.
• Cable and Control Inspection: All cables, throttle controls, and drive systems are thoroughly checked. They are lubricated to ensure smooth operation or replaced if wear and tear are evident.
• Blade Sharpening and Filter Cleaning/Replacement: The cutting blades are professionally sharpened to ensure a clean and precise cut, vital for lawn health. Air filters are cleaned or replaced as needed to ensure the engine receives optimal airflow, and fuel filters are checked and replaced if necessary.

By choosing our annual service, you are investing in the reliability and efficiency of your garden machinery. This proactive approach can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run, preventing unexpected breakdowns during peak gardening seasons.

Expert Repairs for All Your Machinery Needs

Even with regular servicing, wear and tear are inevitable. When your lawnmower or garden machinery encounters a problem, our skilled technicians are equipped to handle it. Our onsite workshop is fully kitted out to tackle a wide range of issues, from minor adjustments to major overhauls.

From Minor Fixes to Major Rebuilds

We can repair most makes and models of lawnmowers and garden machinery. Our expertise covers:

• Recoil Starter Repairs: A common issue that we can quickly diagnose and fix, getting your engine starting reliably again.
• Engine Rebuilds: For older or heavily used machines, a full engine rebuild can breathe new life into them, restoring lost power and efficiency.
• Transmission and Drive System Issues: Problems with self-propelled mechanisms or drive belts are expertly handled.
• Carburettor and Fuel System Repairs: We can clean, adjust, or replace carburettors and address any fuel delivery problems.
• Electrical Faults: For electric or battery-powered machinery, we can diagnose and repair electrical issues.

We pride ourselves on using genuine manufacturer's parts whenever possible. This ensures that your machinery is repaired to the highest standards, maintaining its original performance and integrity.

Authorised Service and Repair Agents

We are proud to be an authorised service and repair agent for some of the most reputable brands in the industry. This accreditation means our technicians have received specialised training and adhere to strict quality standards set by these manufacturers. Our authorised status includes:

• Briggs & Stratton

Being an authorised agent ensures that your machinery receives the best possible care, utilising the correct procedures and parts recommended by the manufacturers.

Specialised Sharpening Services

A sharp blade is crucial for effective and efficient cutting, whether it's grass, hedges, or branches. Dull blades tear rather than cut, leading to ragged edges, increased stress on the machinery, and a less professional finish. Our specialised sharpening services ensure your cutting tools are always at their best.

What We Can Sharpen:

• Mower Cylinder and Rotary Blades: For a perfect lawn finish, sharp rotary blades and finely tuned cylinder blades are essential.
• Hedge Trimmer Blades: Ensure clean cuts for healthy hedges and a tidy appearance.
• Chainsaw Chains: A sharp chain cuts efficiently, safely, and with less strain on your chainsaw.
• Shears, Pruners, and Secateurs: Keep your hand tools performing optimally for precise pruning and trimming.

Regular sharpening not only improves performance but also extends the life of your blades and cutting attachments.
