We repair Henry vacuums and the wider Numatic range including Hetty, Harry, George and commercial machines. Whatever the fault, it's worth a free diagnosis before you consider replacing it.
We repair Henry vacuums and the wider Numatic range including Hetty, Harry, George and commercial machines. If yours isn't one we've mentioned, get in touch anyway — if parts exist for it, there's a good chance we can help.
Where possible we'll fit genuine parts. If a quality aftermarket part offers better value, we'll tell you and let you decide — it's your machine and your money.
A perished or split hose is one of the most common Henry faults we see, usually a quick, low-cost fix.
Commercial and daily domestic use both take their toll eventually. We'll tell you honestly if it's a motor worth replacing.
A common wear point after years of use, often mistaken for a dead motor when it's really just the switch.
The spring-loaded reel can jam or stop retracting, usually repairable rather than needing a full replacement.
Can make the machine seem faulty when it's actually just telling you it needs a new bag.
Common on machines that get dragged around building sites or commercial premises daily.
Yes — Henry (Numatic) is one of the most common machines we see, and we collect from right across Sheffield and the surrounding areas.
Not directly through VacLab at the moment — our parts and spares side is being launched separately as SparkSpares. For now, if your Henry needs a part, bring it to us and we'll source and fit it as part of the repair.
Usually a blocked hose, a full bag, or a worn brush bar belt tripping the thermal cutout. All quick, inexpensive fixes in most cases.
Almost always — they're built specifically to be repaired rather than replaced, which is a big part of why they're still around after decades.
We're collection and drop-off based rather than a walk-in shop, which is part of how we keep repair prices low. Arrange a time and we'll collect your Henry from your door anywhere in Sheffield, or you can drop it to us by arrangement.
Most repairs land somewhere between £20 and £45, depending on the fault and whether parts are needed. You'll never be charged for the diagnosis itself, and we won't start work without your go-ahead.
That's the deal: free diagnosis, honest price, No Fix No Fee.
