CNC Breakdown & Emergency Engineer Callout (UK-wide)

Machine down? Call us. We triage before we travel.

When a CNC drops out of production, every hour costs. Call one number and speak straight to an engineer. We diagnose over the phone, dispatch with the right parts, and get you cutting again, often the same day.

Machine down? Speak to an engineer, not a call centre. We triage first, dispatch second.

Phone triage first. An engineer, not a call centre, takes the call
On-site diagnostics for spindle, ballscrew, control, hydraulic and coolant faults

Common questions

What people ask us about Machine Breakdowns.

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ring us and we'll answer it in a minute.

How fast can you get an engineer to site?

Depends on where you are and what's wrong. Most UK sites get an engineer next working day, often same-day for contract customers. First step is always a phone call so we can triage and, where possible, get you cutting without a callout.

Do you carry spare parts?

We hold common wear parts, spindles, ballscrews and consumables in UK stock for our supported brands. That saves the wait on a container from Asia. If we don't have it we tell you honestly and give a realistic lead time.

Do I need a service contract to call you out?

No. We take breakdown calls from any UK site whether you're a customer or not. Contract customers get first priority, but nobody gets turned away because they haven't signed anything.

What if you can't fix it in one visit?

You get a written diagnosis, a parts list, a lead time and a firm quote. No dragged-out return visits to keep the meter running. If it needs a spindle rebuild, ballscrew replacement or a bigger job we'll say so and give you a clear plan.

Do you handle out-of-hours breakdowns?

Contract customers can reach us out of hours for genuine production-stopping breakdowns. For everyone else we're on the phone Mon-Fri 8am-5pm and pick up voicemails outside those hours.
