Recommended local repairer
September 1st, 2008
The only local equipment repairer used to be Flemings along Broad Street. When they packed up, there wasn’t anyone else around – the nearest one being in Woking.
So good news is that one of the guys who worked for Flemings has set up as Guildford Mowers. They did an excellent job repairing the mangled business end of my strimmer – charged £15 & even loaded up the spool so it was ready to use!
They deserve some more local business and I’m happy to recommend them.
Details: Guildford Mowers, 60 The Oval, Wood Street Village
