Mobile industrial vacuum service and repair

Small factories, workshops, facilities teams and cleaning contractors who rely on their vacuums and want fast, local servicing.

Call-out and hourly charges, parts with a mark-up, annual service contracts for fleets of machines, and sales of filters and refurbished units.

• Electrical and mechanical fault finding
• Comfortable with hand tools and testing equipment
• Reliable customer communication
• Keeping records and service histories

• Public liability insurance and cover for work on customers' premises
• Competence and testing records matter, check what customers and insurers expect
• Vacuums used for hazardous dust may need specialist filter handling and checks, check HSE guidance before taking these on
• Site inductions and risk assessments (RAMS) may be required by larger customers
• Using manufacturer parts and procedures may affect warranties, check before repairing machines under warranty

Startup costs are typically around £2,000 to £8,000, depending on your tools, testing equipment, vehicle needs and initial stock of filters and spares. These are estimates, so price up your own kit and insurance before starting.

Monthly revenue is typically around £1,500 to £6,000, depending on how many workshops and contractors you serve and whether you sell consumables or refurbished units. These are estimates, not guarantees, and revenue is before costs.

Check public liability cover for work on customers' premises, and what customers and insurers expect for competence and testing records. Check HSE guidance before handling hazardous dust machines, RAMS requirements on larger sites, and warranty effects of non-manufacturer parts.
