Visit our workshop or call us at 01835 824555 for quality garden machinery and reliable service.

At St Boswells Mowers, we service most types of garden machinery equipment and small plant.

Although St Boswells Mowers may not have supplied your garden machinery or equipment,
we can still help with routine servicing and repairs at our workshop in Charlesfield.
However, we will only service brands we would be happy supplying ourselves so If we don’t sell it, we won’t fix it!!

​The most common questions we get asked regarding servicing are,
“How much does a service cost?” And “What is included in the service?”.

In this routine service guide, we’ll run through what’s involved in the service of your
machinery and how much this is likely to cost you.

Although the pricing in this guide will give you a good idea of how much your service will
cost. Due to the various machines available, prices vary and may require separate
estimates.

Additional repairs required out with the routine service will be quoted upfront if our
technicians consider it an expensive repair, i.e. transmission replacement/engine replacement,
we will want to have a chat and make sure fixing the machine is the right decision,
If your machinery requires an additional repair out with routine servicing and it’s a smaller
necessary repair, i.e. new drive belt, New Blade or New cable required, we will go ahead and
carry out these repairs, and additional costs are applied on top of routine service costs.

If our technicians feel your machinery is beyond economical repair, we will get in touch,
chat, and talk about your options. and are happy to quote for replacement machinery,
whether new or used, if available.
