At MAD Mowers, we get asked, “Do you repair…?” from pressure washers to mini-diggers. The answer is usually yes. We service and repair petrol and diesel machines, plus sharpen axes, shears, secateurs, and more. If it cuts, pumps, moves, or makes noise, we can usually help – no guesswork, just experience and practical solutions.

The most common mower fault we saw last year across Dorset was water in the fuel, causing poor running, stalling, or no start at all. Moisture can enter via condensation, old petrol, or poorly sealed tanks. Prevent issues by using fresh fuel, proper storage, or Aspen fuel. If your mower shows signs like uneven running or cloudy fuel, stop use and have it checked to avoid costly damage.

Get Your Mower Spring-Ready! Don’t wait for the grass to grow—prepare your mower now!
