Proper mower oil change with the right oil, done properly. We drain the old stuff, dispose of it correctly, and refill with fresh oil suited to your mower. Keeps engines running smoothly and lasting longer.
Most people never change their mower oil. Eventually the engine seizes or starts running rough, and they buy a new mower. Shame, because regular oil changes would have kept it going for years.
We do it properly - drain it fully, use the correct grade oil (not just whatever's in the shed), and dispose of the old oil safely. Takes 30 minutes and makes a noticeable difference to how smoothly your mower runs.

What to Expect
Step 1: Check and drain - We run the mower briefly to warm the oil (helps it drain fully), then safely drain it into a container. We check what comes out - thick black oil means it was overdue.
Step 2: Refill correctly - We add the right type and amount of oil for your specific mower model. Overfilling is as bad as underfilling. We check the level is spot-on.
Step 3: Quick health check - While we're there, we glance at the air filter, spark plug, and blade condition. If anything needs attention, we'll mention it so you can decide whether to sort it now or later.
🔧 DIY Tips
Warm oil drains better - run the mower for a couple of minutes first. Tip the mower carefully to drain (spark plug side up, never air filter side down). Dispose of old oil properly at recycling centres, never down drains. Check your mower manual for the right oil grade - SAE 30 is common but not universal. Overfilling causes as many problems as underfilling.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Bring the mower to us or we come to you - your choice. If you've got multiple garden equipment needing oil changes (mower, strimmer, hedge trimmer), we can do them all in one visit. Old oil disposal is included - we take it away and dispose of it properly at recycling facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change mower oil?
Generally once a year for domestic mowers, or every 50 hours of use. If your oil looks black or dirty, it's overdue. Regular changes prevent engine damage and keep mowers running reliably.
What's included in an oil change?
We drain old oil, dispose of it properly, replace with the correct grade oil for your mower, and check the oil level. We'll also quickly check the air filter and spark plug while we're at it.
Do you provide the oil?
Yes, included in the price. We use the correct grade for your specific mower model. Different engines need different oils - we make sure it's right.
Can you service my mower at the same time?
Absolutely. An oil change is often done alongside a basic service (blade sharpen, air filter, spark plug). Let us know when booking if you want the full service - saves a separate visit.
