Cricket Club Grounds Care Equipment Servicing
Specialist servicing and repair for cricket club grounds maintenance equipment. Serving customers across Greater Manchester from the workshop in Hyde.

Paul's 20+ Years Experience with Cricket Grounds Care
Paul has serviced equipment for local cricket clubs including Dinting, Hadfield and Newton. He understands the difference between a club that cuts the outfield with a ride-on and the square with a precision cylinder mower — and the importance of keeping both reliable during the short English season. Chain brake testing and cylinder work matter for clubs that also manage trees and boundaries with chainsaws and strimmers. Paul offers club-friendly rates and collection because he knows many grounds teams are run by volunteers giving their time for the love of the game.
Most Common Cricket Club Grounds Care Equipment Servicing Problems Paul Sees
Cylinder Mower Not Cutting Clean or Leaving Ridges
Cylinder out of adjustment, blunt or damaged bottom blade, or worn bearings. Paul adjusts, sharpens, or repairs to restore the fine cut required on the square.

The same carb, belt, and transmission issues as domestic ride-ons but with zero tolerance for downtime during fixtures. Paul provides priority on-site or fast workshop turnaround.
Read Paul's full troubleshooting guide →Chainsaw Safety Systems Not Tested (Risk to Volunteers)
Many club saws are used infrequently by volunteers. Paul insists on demonstrating the chain brake test and ensures every saw leaves verified safe.
