We're based just outside Totley, and most weeks we're fixing vacuums for people who live right on your street. Free look-over, honest quote, no pressure.
Totley 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.
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 sign the motor's under strain. Worth catching early before it becomes a bigger job.
Usually a blocked filter, cyclone or brush bar — occasionally a worn motor seal. We'll find out which.
Could be the cable, a switch, a PCB, or a battery, depending on the model. We check before we quote.
A belt, brush bar or motor-head fault. We stock parts for most models and can usually turn this around fast.
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 Totley and the surrounding area, including Dore, Millhouses and Beauchief. 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.
No Fix, No Fee; if we can't sort it, it won't cost you anything.
