Paul's 20+ Years Experience with Fleet Servicing
Paul can look after fleets for landscaping companies, grounds teams, and sports clubs. He knows that a broken ride-on or strimmer at 7am on a contract day costs real money in lost labour and unhappy clients. That's why fleet customers get priority, honest pricing, and the same personal service whether they have two machines or twenty. Keeping a record of each machine's repairs helps spot patterns and prevent repeat failures.
Most Common Fleet & Contract Servicing Problems Paul Sees
Multiple Machines Breaking Down at the Worst Time
When the whole fleet is needed and one or two machines fail, Paul prioritises fleet clients and often has them back the same or next day with collection included.

How Fleet Servicing Process Works
Fleet Audit
Paul visits your depot or yard to assess every machine — condition, service history, known faults. You receive a clear maintenance plan and quote.
Scheduled Servicing
Pre-season full services, mid-season check-overs, and winterisation carried out to a calendar that fits your busiest periods.
Rapid Repair Turnaround
Fleet clients jump the queue. Machines are collected, repaired, and returned within 24-48 hours wherever possible.
Seasonal Prep & Reporting
Spring and autumn fleet checks plus simple service records so you can plan budgets and demonstrate due diligence to clients or insurers.
Commercial & Fleet Fleet & Contract Servicing
Fleet servicing is designed for businesses that cannot afford downtime. Paul works with landscaping firms, tool hire yards, council parks departments, housing associations, and sports clubs (cricket, bowling, football) who need reliable machinery every day of the season. The cricket club on-site photo is typical of the environments where fleet equipment works.

Collection and delivery is subject to the job. A long trip for one small machine is rarely worth it unless the customer pays the collection cost. Several machines on the same trip are a different job.
