Vacuum given up on you? We repair machines for households across Crosspool — usually with a same-week turnaround and no charge if we can't fix it.
A lot of the vacuums that come through our door from Crosspool have the same story: it worked fine, then one day it didn't. Before you write it off, it's worth getting it looked at properly — a lot of these faults are a cheap fix.
You don't need to know what's wrong before you bring it in — that's our job. We check it over for free, explain what we find in plain English, and quote before touching anything.



Common on cordless machines. Often a blocked filter or shroud, sometimes a motor or battery fault.
For cordless machines — we test the battery, charger and PCB and tell you honestly what's worth fixing.
Usually a blocked filter, cyclone or brush bar — occasionally a worn motor seal. We'll find out which.
A belt, brush bar or motor-head fault. We stock parts for most models and can usually turn this around fast.
Usually a sign the motor's under strain. Worth catching early before it becomes a bigger job.
Could be the cable, a switch, a PCB, or a battery, depending on the model. We check before we quote.
VacLab Floorcare is a small, Sheffield-based repair workshop — not a call centre and not a postal warehouse. Your machine gets looked at by someone who actually knows vacuums, and you get a straight answer about whether it's worth fixing.
We cover Crosspool and the surrounding area, including Crookes, Lodge Moor and Fulwood. Drop-off, collection and return are all available.
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.
And if it turns out not to be worth fixing, we'll tell you that too; No Fix, No Fee.
