DT Machinery and Equipment Servicing

Keeping your DT department machinery and equipment in good working order with regular checks is vital. Not only is it often compulsory with regards to health and safety law and insurance requirements, it also extends the working life of equipment and ensures it’s safe for students to use.

Here at Tilgear, our dedicated and expert team is on hand to help with all your servicing and maintenance needs.

What We Offer: 

Repairs and Maintenance

If your equipment develops a fault, don’t delay getting in touch to arrange a repair. Our maintenance team work up and down the country and are on hand to restore your machinery to a safe working condition.

Refurbishments and Upgrades

It’s common practice for older equipment to be written-off due to safety regulations. However, high-quality equipment, especially machines which haven’t been heavily used, may still have plenty of life left in them if refurbished correctly. Don’t spend money on new machinery when you don’t need to, talk to the Tilgear team today to arrange an assessment and see if a refurbishment is possible. We can also install safety upgrades to workshop machines, including brakes and emergency stop buttons.
