Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Repairs

We can carry out repairs & maintenance on all Tennant equipment and Karcher scrubber driers. Unfortunately, at this time we do not carry out repairs or service any other type of equipment.  Our engineers carry a large stock of parts for on-site repairs. This eliminates the time, cost and hassle of arranging for individual companies to carry out repairs on your equipment.

With our workshops, warehouse facilities and a team of field service engineers, we provide a rapid response service for both domestic & commercial customers.

If you are able to bring your equipment to our workshop in Lancing near Brighton we can carry out repairs for you to save you the cost of a call-out.

To improve efficiency we can also combine our range of services to help with your budget. For example, we can PAT Test all equipment on site when carrying out a repair, or we can collect a machine, repair it and deliver it to another site etc.

If for any reason we need to remove your equipment to our workshop for repair, we can in most cases provide a free temporary replacement machine to enable you to continue working whilst your equipment is being repaired.

We have negotiated discounts with many of our suppliers, and we are able to pass our discounts onto our customers when fitting parts etc.

Please note: We can only service & repair the machines that we have supplied.

Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Servicing

These include discounted manufacturers replacement batteries, less expensive alternatives and premium, high-performance, long-life alternatives.

Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Refurbishment

If you currently own equipment which you are not using, then why not consider refurbishing it to bring it back to life? It will save you from having to spend out on new equipment as well as being environmentally friendly. We’ve had years of experience at this and you’ll be surprised how little it costs to make your equipment like new again!

Cleaning Equipment Services Ltd can carry out the major and minor refurbishments of most cleaning machines at our workshops.

Whether your equipment is in need of a light aesthetic refurbishment to bring it back to its former condition, or you’ve just found a block of dust rotting away in the corner of a warehouse which needs a complete overhaul, we can carry out a level of refurbishment to suit your needs.

We can refurbish your equipment back to ‘as new’ condition with new batteries, filters, panels etc. or if you are working to a budget, we can re-condition the machine to suit your needs.

We also provide a comprehensive stock rotation solution which is popular with large cleaning companies that have large amounts of machinery or for companies whose contracts may have come to an end. Equipment comes into our storage facility, and our engineers then check and test the equipment and provide an assessment of any work which needs to be carried out to the equipment in order for it to be ready to go back out to the site. Customers may use this facility to rotate their current stock of equipment rather than renew it which can provide excellent cost-saving benefits. The equipment can be simply made to work, or fully refurbished depending on the customer’s requirements and budget.

Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Collection, Transport & Delivery

Cleaning Equipment Services Ltd are experienced and fully trained in transporting all items of cleaning equipment, including faulty heavy machinery which can be difficult to move.

Whether you need to move a single machine locally, or you need to relocate an entire fleet of contracted equipment to various sites across the country, we can provide very competitive rates with drivers who are experienced in the specific needs of moving sensitive cleaning equipment.

We can also provide short or long term storage for equipment if required. 

Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Storage Facilities

With our large warehouse facility at our offices in Lancing, West Sussex (South of London) near Brighton we are able to provide long and short-term secure storage solutions.

We can also maintain equipment whilst in storage, such as keeping batteries topped up and charged.

The equipment can be simply made to work, or fully refurbished depending on the customer’s requirements and budget. If the equipment is beyond economical repair it can be disposed of saving on unnecessary storage costs.

Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Removal & Recycling

Some equipment may be classed as hazardous waste due to the materials they are made of and batteries etc. Due to new legislation, this equipment must be correctly disposed of by law.

We are able to safely remove equipment & batteries etc. from sites and strip them down for economic disposal.

We will always endeavour to recycle as much of the machine as possible and currently, we are able to recycle up to 90% which really helps to look after the environment!

Commercial & Industrial Cleaning Equipment Staff Training

For new equipment as well as in-service equipment we can provide onsite training and refresher training within our service area. Our training program is divided into three sections:

The first shows the user what the machine is for and how it operates. This ensures the equipment is used correctly and to its full capacity.

The second shows the user how to maintain the machine correctly. This prolongs the equipment’s working life and will reduce the need for repairs.

The third includes basic fault finding and user repairs. Again this will reduce the need for unnecessary repair callouts.

Our Monthly Charity Contributions

We’re grateful to be a successful business and believe it’s important to share our success with those most in need.

Thanks to you, every month, we donate to the following charities:

July 2021 Update:

The latest addition to our growing list of charities that we support is the international non-profit organisation called Sea Shepherd https://www.seashepherd.org.uk/. This organisation is a dangerous, life-risking job with the aim to protect the species and the ecosystem to ensure a surviving future by ending wildlife and habitat destruction. The over 40 years old organisation directly involves themselves and acts when illegal activities occur within the seas. They act by investigating, documenting, educating, and taking action. Actions that take place are protecting and restoring coastal and marine regions, beach clean-ups, removing ‘ghost’ fishing gear from the coastline, and exposing dolphins and pilot whales killed in the Danish Faroe Islands to name a few.

October 2020 Update:

Another worthy cause added to our regular monthly list of donations is League Against Cruel Sports https://www.league.org.uk/ ‘Driven by compassion and empowered by knowledge, we protect animals in our sanctuaries, carry out investigations to expose law-breaking and cruelty to animals, and campaign for stronger animal protection laws. Our sanctuaries provide animals with a haven, one free of hunting and shooting. Home to an array of animals, we provide protection through ‘sporting rights’, as well as providing an environment where wildlife can thrive. Our team of professional Investigators work continuously to ensure that we have effective and enforced animal protection laws; gathering vital surveillance needed to bring those responsible to justice. Our confidential supporter-funded Animal Crimewatch service allows the public to confidentially report cruelty to animals in the name of ‘sport’. We continue to educate the public and policymakers through high-profile work in the media and expert behind-the-scenes lobbying in Parliament. We also protect animals through our campaigning; uniting voices to achieve change and strengthen laws.’
