Paul's 20+ Years Experience with Servicing
Paul has been servicing garden tools and machinery for over 20 years from his workshop in Hyde. Strimmers, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, and blowers come through the door daily — especially in spring when 2-stroke fuel has gone off and primer bulbs have perished. He knows the Stihl, Husqvarna, and Honda 2-stroke quirks inside out and keeps common fuel lines, diaphragms, air filters, and spark plugs in stock for same-day turnaround on most jobs. Paul always tests throttle response and safety interlocks before a tool leaves the workshop. His advice is simple: a £45 service twice a year prevents the £300 replacement bill.
Most Common Garden Tool Servicing Problems Paul Sees
Won't Start or Cuts Out Under Load
The #1 reason customers bring strimmers and brushcutters to Hyde. Perished fuel lines, hardened primer bulbs, blocked tank filters, or varnished carburettors from stale 2-stroke mix. Paul replaces the fuel system components and cleans the carb properly.

Strimmer runs but bogs down in thicker growth or cuts out mid-job. Usually air filter, carb jets, or exhaust port carbon build-up. Paul performs a full service including decarbonising where needed.
Read Paul's full troubleshooting guide →Blunt or Damaged Cutting Head
Strimmer line heads and metal blades wear fast on stony ground or with heavy use. Paul sharpens or replaces heads and checks the gearbox and drive shaft for wear.
