🔧 Why Regular Servicing Matters
Garden machinery takes a beating—especially in the South East’s longer growing seasons. Routine servicing helps:
- Avoid breakdowns at the height of mowing season
- Extend the life of your equipment
- Ensure cleaner, more efficient operation
- Maintain manufacturer warranty compliance
It’s about keeping your tools safe, reliable, and ready to perform when you need them most.
Godfreys Service : Your Questions Answered
Q: Which Brands do Godreys service?
Godfreys can service and repair any brands that we sell
Q: How often should I have my lawnmower serviced?
We recommend a full professional service once a year, ideally during the winter or early spring before the mowing season starts. Regular servicing extends the life of your machine, maintains your manufacturer’s warranty, and ensures the engine runs at peak efficiency, saving you fuel.
Q: When is the best time to book a service at Godfreys?
Our “Winter Servicing” slots (November to February) are highly popular as they allow you to beat the spring rush. Booking out-of-season ensures your machinery is ready to go the moment the grass starts growing, and often comes with shorter turnaround times.
Q: My petrol lawnmower won't start after winter storage. What’s wrong?
The most common culprit is stale fuel. Modern petrol can go “stale” in as little as 30 days, causing blockages in the carburettor. Our service team can drain your system, clean the carburettor, and refuel your machine with Aspen Fuel, which stays fresh for years and is much better for your engine’s health.
Q: Do you offer collection and delivery in the Sevenoaks area?
Yes! We provide a convenient collection and delivery service throughout Kent and South East London. Rates start from just £25 for pedestrian mowers and £35 for ride-ons within a 5-mile radius of our Sevenoaks superstore. We also serve Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and the surrounding villages
Q: How much does a standard lawnmower service cost?
Our labour rates for rotary mower servicing start from £105 for hand-propelled models and £147 for self-propelled. For ride-on tractors, servicing starts from £335. Please note that parts (like filters and spark plugs) and VAT are calculated separately to ensure you only pay for what your specific machine needs.
