Westwood Repair & Servicing
Westwood is a British garden tractor brand with a loyal following. Similar to Countax — premium ride-on mowers with powered collection systems. Paul services Westwood tractors for domestic and estate customers who need their machines running reliably season after season.
Westwood tractors are similar to Countax — well-built British machines that are worth maintaining. Paul sees the T1600, V20/50 and older rear-engine models most often. Common jobs are belt replacement, carburettor cleaning, and collector system servicing. Owners tend to keep these machines for years because they're built properly. Many share engines and parts with Countax (Stiga group), so diagnostics cross over. Good for farms and larger gardens in the area.
Service Intervals
Annual service essential. These machines need belt inspection, oil change, blade condition check, and collector system servicing before each season.
Parts & Supply
Westwood is now part of the Stiga/Countax group. Parts availability for current models is good. Older Westwood models share some parts with Countax. Paul can source parts for most Westwood tractors.

“Paul attended our home address to repair and service our ride on mower. From the first contact I could tell Paul would be a good choice. He arrived early, got stuck in and had it up and running in a few hours. Despite the heat and awkward nature of the repair, he kept on until the job was done. A really good bloke to deal with, straight as a die and well priced work. I'd definately recommend him without hesistation”

It was ready for me to pick up 24hrs later. Price for the work was very reasonable as well - Thoroughly recommend getting in touch with Paul if you need your garden equipment servicing!”
