Vacuum cleaner repair in Exeter. We fix blocked hoses, damaged cables, lost suction, broken brush bars, and common vacuum problems. Quick diagnosis, honest advice on whether repair makes sense versus buying new.
Most vacuum problems are simple - blocked hose, full filter, broken belt, or damaged cable. We diagnose the issue, clear blockages, replace easily available parts, and get your vacuum working again. Saves buying a new one for a simple fix.
We work on all types - uprights, cylinders, cordless, robot vacuums, and wet/dry vacuums. For simple mechanical issues, we fix on the spot. For parts needed, we'll advise on costs and whether repair is worthwhile.
| Common Problems | Typical Causes | Fix Time |
|---|---|---|
| No suction | Blockage in hose/head, full bag/filter | 15-30 mins |
| Brush not spinning | Belt broken, brush bar jammed | 20-40 mins |
| Won't power on | Cable damage, blown fuse | 20-30 mins |
| Strange noise | Blockage, bearing issue, foreign object | 20-40 mins |
| Wheels broken | Cracked/missing wheels | 15-30 mins |
| Hose split | Wear and tear | 20-30 mins (if replacement available) |
Honest assessment: We'll tell you if repair is economical. Motor failures or electronic problems on cheap vacuums often cost more to fix than buying new. We won't waste your money.

What to Expect
Step 1: Diagnosis - We test the vacuum, check for obvious issues (blockages, full filters, damaged parts), and diagnose the problem. We'll explain what's wrong and what's needed to fix it.
Step 2: Repair - For simple fixes (clearing blockages, replacing belts, repairing cables), we fix immediately. For parts needed, we'll quote for supply and fitting or advise where you can get parts cheaper.
Step 3: Testing - We test the vacuum thoroughly, check suction is restored, verify brush rotation, and ensure everything works. We'll advise on maintenance to prevent repeat issues.
🔧 DIY Tips
Check these first: Empty bag/bin, clean or replace filters, check hose for blockages (detach and look through it), check brush bar isn't wound with hair/string. These solve most vacuum problems.
Hose blockages: Detach hose and push a broom handle through. Blockages usually occur at bends. Don't use vacuum with blockages - it overworks the motor.
Belt replacement: Vacuum belts wear and stretch. If brush stops spinning but motor runs, it's usually the belt. Belts are cheap and models have different sizes - check model number before buying.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Some manufacturers (Dyson, Miele, Shark) use proprietary parts that are expensive or hard to source. We'll advise if parts are available and economical. Sometimes buying new makes more sense.
Cordless vacuum battery failures are expensive to fix. Replacement batteries often cost 40-60% of a new vacuum price. We'll advise whether replacement is worthwhile.
For robot vacuums (Roomba, etc.), we can fix simple mechanical issues but complex electronics or navigation problems need specialist repair or manufacturer service.
Frequently Asked Questions

Vacuum repair starts at £60 for diagnosis and simple fixes (blockages, filters, belt replacement). If parts are needed, we'll quote for supply and fitting. We'll advise if repair is economical versus buying new.
What vacuum problems can you fix?
