It is recommended to have your ride-on mower serviced every 12 months, at least, but this will largely depend on how often the mower is used. For example, if you use the mower for your job, then you should have it serviced more regularly.

You should also get your ride-on mower thoroughly cleaned out regularly too, and your blade needs sharpening to keep the performance as it should be. For more information, please get in touch with us today.

Please note that if your machine is in its warranty period servicing is mandatory to uphold warranty. 

The oil in a ride-on lawn mower should be changed every 50 hours, or at least every summer, depending on which comes first. You should ensure that this process is done, as it will prolong the life span of your mower.

As long as you regularly get your lawn mower serviced, and keep maintaining it as often as you can, then it should last a long time. However, lawn mowers usually last up to 10 years.

If your lawn mower keeps cutting out or keeps needing repairs, before ten years, then you will need to get a replacement. For more information, please contact us today. 

Almost all types of garden machinery benefit from regular servicing to maintain optimal performance and longevity. This includes lawnmowers (both petrol and electric), strimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, rotavators, and ride-on mowers.

Equipment with engines or moving parts, such as tractors and compact utility vehicles, also require routine maintenance. Even hand tools, like shears and pruners, can benefit from sharpening and lubrication.

Essentially, proper servicing will improve the performance and longevity of any machinery used regularly to maintain your garden or landscape.

Garden machinery should generally be serviced once a year, preferably before or after the main gardening season. For equipment like lawnmowers, a pre-season service ensures they are in top condition when the growing season begins.

Heavily used machinery, such as ride-on mowers or chainsaws, may require more frequent servicing, especially if they are used commercially.

Regular servicing helps catch potential issues early and ensures that your tools remain reliable and efficient. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific servicing intervals for your equipment.

A garden machinery service is a comprehensive check-up that covers all critical components. For petrol-powered tools, the service includes checking and replacing the engine oil, spark plugs, and air filters.

The fuel system is inspected and cleaned if necessary. Blades are sharpened or replaced, and all moving parts are lubricated to reduce wear and tear.

For electric machinery, the service focuses on inspecting electrical connections, testing the motor, and ensuring the battery holds a proper charge.

We also check the cutting mechanism and make any necessary adjustments to improve performance. A full service ensures your equipment runs smoothly and safely.

Over time, dirt, debris, and general wear can affect the performance of your equipment.

For petrol-powered machines, issues like dirty air filters or old engine oil can lead to reduced efficiency and even engine failure. Electrical components can also degrade, affecting the reliability of your machinery.

Servicing helps prevent costly breakdowns and ensures your tools are safe to use. By keeping your equipment well-maintained, you can also achieve better results when working in your garden or maintaining large landscapes.

There are several signs that your garden machinery might need a service. If your lawn mower or other equipment struggles to start, cuts out frequently or runs unevenly, it’s a good indicator that it needs attention.

Other warning signs include excessive vibrations, reduced cutting performance, or strange noises coming from the engine. Visible issues, like frayed cables or dull blades, also warrant a service.

Even if there are no obvious problems, machinery that hasn’t been serviced in over a year will likely benefit from a check-up. Regular use puts strain on engines and cutting mechanisms, so servicing helps keep everything running smoothly.

A lawn mower service is a thorough inspection and maintenance procedure to keep your mower performing well.

For petrol lawnmowers, it includes changing the engine oil, replacing or cleaning the air filter, and checking the spark plug. The fuel system is inspected, and the carburettor is cleaned if necessary.

Blades are sharpened or replaced, and the cutting deck is cleaned to ensure a neat and efficient cut. The drive system and belts are checked for wear, and all moving parts are lubricated.

For electric mowers, we focus on checking electrical components, testing the motor, and inspecting the cable or battery for issues. Our goal is to leave your mower in the best possible condition, ready for a season of reliable use.

Signs that your lawn mower needs servicing include difficulty starting, uneven cutting, or loss of power during operation. If the engine is making unusual noises or vibrating excessively, it may be due to issues with the blades or internal components.

Another indicator is if your mower produces more smoke or uses more fuel than usual. Visibly worn or damaged parts, such as a frayed pull cord or bent blade, should also be addressed.

Regular maintenance is key, but if you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to have your lawn mower serviced to avoid further damage and ensure peak performance.

Proper maintenance between services can help keep your lawn mower in good condition and extend its life.

After each use, clean the underside of the cutting deck to remove grass clippings and debris, as this can cause rust and clog the blades.

Regularly check the oil level in petrol mowers and top it up if necessary. Sharpen the blades periodically to ensure a clean cut and avoid damaging your lawn.

For electric mowers, inspect the power cable for wear and keep the battery charged if your model is cordless. Store your mower in a dry, sheltered area to prevent weather-related damage. Following these simple maintenance steps will keep your lawn mower running efficiently.
