We're based just outside Fulwood, and most weeks we're fixing vacuums for people who live right on your street. Free look-over, honest quote, no pressure.
Fulwood is well within our usual collection radius, so if getting the machine to us is the sticking point, that's easily sorted. Most faults come down to a handful of common causes, and we've usually seen them before.
We work on all the usual brands — Dyson, Henry, Miele, Shark and Hoover among them — and if we haven't seen your model before, we'll still take a look. Every job starts with a free diagnosis, and we'll always call you with a price before doing anything.
Could be the cable, a switch, a PCB, or a battery, depending on the model. We check before we quote.
Common on cordless machines. Often a blocked filter or shroud, sometimes a motor or battery fault.
Usually a blocked filter, cyclone or brush bar — occasionally a worn motor seal. We'll find out which.
Often a clogged filter starving the motor of air, or dust burning off a worn motor — worth checking before it does lasting damage.
Sometimes it's not the vacuum at all — we check the plug and fuse before assuming the worst.
Usually a sign the motor's under strain. Worth catching early before it becomes a bigger job.
We started VacLab because too many still-good vacuums were ending up in landfill over faults that take twenty minutes to fix. We're a small team, we know our machines, and we'd rather repair something properly than sell you a new one.
We cover Fulwood and the surrounding area, including Lodge Moor, Crosspool and Ranmoor. Drop-off, collection and return are all available.
Pricing usually falls between £20 and £45 once we know what's wrong. The diagnosis is always free, and we'll give you the number before any work begins — not after.
That's the deal: free diagnosis, honest price, No Fix No Fee.
