Urgent Repair

We provide industrial mechanical repair, refurbishment and component remanufacture to help keep machinery running reliably.

From urgent breakdowns to planned maintenance, our engineers deliver practical, cost-effective alternatives to replacing equipment.

Worn or damaged shafts can affect alignment, cause excessive vibration and lead to premature failure of connected components.

We assess the condition of each shaft to determine whether it can be reclaimed or requires replacement. Where necessary, we manufacture new shafts to the required dimensions and specifications, helping restore reliable operation while avoiding the cost and lead time of replacing larger assemblies.

Worn rollers and unbalanced rotating components can cause vibration, uneven wear and reduced production quality.

Fletcher Moorland repair roller surfaces and address mechanical defects before dynamically balancing components to improve rotational stability. This helps machinery run more smoothly, reduces stress on bearings and surrounding equipment, and supports consistent production performance.

Damaged metalwork, worn structures and failed mechanical components can bring essential equipment to a standstill.

Our welding and fabrication capabilities allow us to repair existing components or manufacture replacement parts to suit the application. By restoring strength and functionality where appropriate, we help customers extend equipment life, reduce replacement costs and get machinery back into service.

Damaged or worn gears can disrupt power transmission, increase noise and vibration, and compromise the reliability of an entire machine.

We assess gear condition and determine the most practical route to recovery, whether that involves repair or the manufacture of replacement components. This helps restore dependable mechanical operation and can provide an effective solution when original parts are difficult to source.

When a mechanical component wears out, breaks or is no longer readily available, an existing drawing or physical pattern can provide the starting point for a replacement.

Fletcher Moorland manufacture components to the supplied dimensions and specifications, helping customers restore equipment without being restricted by standard parts availability. This is particularly valuable for maintaining older machinery and minimising disruption to established production processes.

Finding replacement parts for discontinued or obsolete machinery can be difficult, particularly when original drawings are unavailable.

Fletcher Moorland can assess an existing component, establish its critical dimensions and features, and use this information to develop a suitable replacement where technically feasible. This gives customers another option for keeping valuable equipment operational without relying solely on hard-to-source original parts.

Not every requirement justifies large production runs or a standard off-the-shelf solution.

At Fletcher Moorland we manufacture individual components and small batches to meet specific repair, replacement and operational needs. Whether you need a single urgent part or several identical components for ongoing maintenance, this flexible approach helps control costs, avoid unnecessary stockholding and get the parts you need when they matter most.

Fletcher Moorland offers fast, reliable onsite mechanical services across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and the UK. Our experienced engineers provide on-location support for fault diagnosis, machine removal and fitting, bearing and coupling changes, laser shaft alignment, and vibration analysis. Fletcher Moorland also offer plant commissioning and inspections, helping minimise downtime and keep your operations running smoothly.

4 Simple Steps to Getting Your Mechanical Equipment Repaired

Nationwide Collection

For most Mechanical Equipment repairs we arrange nationwide collection using our own fleet of vehicles. Simply tell us the equipment type, fault details, and urgency (we do offer a premium service for Emergency work).

Should we not be able to collect with our own fleet, we work with a number of approved courier suppliers who can collect & deliver your unit to our workshops in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

MECHANICAL REPAIR FAQs

Yes. A mechanical failure doesn't automatically mean the whole machine or component needs replacing.

Depending on the problem, it may be possible to repair, refurbish or remanufacture the affected component and return the equipment to service. That could mean repairing a shaft, replacing bearings, refurbishing a rotating assembly or machining a worn component back to specification.

The right solution depends on what's failed, why it failed and the condition of the equipment around it.

Mechanical repair covers a wide range of industrial equipment and components.

This can include gearboxes, pumps, fans, shafts, bearings, couplings, rotating assemblies and specialist machine components, as well as individual parts that have become worn or damaged.

The important thing isn't simply the name on the equipment. It's understanding how the component works, what has happened to it and what is required to get it back to service.

Mechanical equipment will often tell you that something isn't right before it stops altogether.

Look for unusual noise, vibration, overheating, leakage, changes in performance, excessive movement or visible wear. A change from the equipment's normal operating condition can be just as important as an obvious failure.

If something sounds, feels or behaves differently, it's worth investigating. Catching a developing fault early can make a significant difference to the eventual repair.

There isn't a universal answer, and replacing a component shouldn't automatically be the first choice.

The condition of the component, its availability, replacement cost, lead time and the expected life following repair all need to be considered.

In many cases, repairing or remanufacturing an existing component can be quicker, more economical and less disruptive than sourcing a new one. For older machinery, it can also be the only practical option when the original part is no longer available.

An overhaul is about understanding the condition of the equipment rather than simply changing a predetermined list of parts.

The equipment is dismantled and its components inspected for wear, damage, dimensional accuracy and serviceability. Depending on what is found, the work may involve bearing replacement, shaft repair, precision machining, component refurbishment, reassembly and testing.

The extent of the overhaul should reflect the actual condition of the equipment; not what someone assumes it needs before it's been opened up.

Often, yes.

Bearings may simply need replacing, while a worn shaft might be suitable for repair, machining or remanufacture depending on its condition and application. Other components can potentially be refurbished or manufactured to restore the required dimensions and tolerances.

This approach can be particularly useful for specialist or older machinery where sourcing a replacement component isn't straightforward.

Sometimes the most effective replacement is the component you've already got; properly repaired.

Yes. Obsolescence doesn't necessarily mean the end of the equipment.

Where an original component is no longer manufactured or readily available, its design and condition can be assessed to determine whether a replacement can be manufactured, machined or remanufactured.

This can be particularly valuable for critical production machinery where waiting for a new machine or redesigning an entire assembly simply isn't practical.

Keeping existing equipment working can often make more sense than replacing perfectly serviceable machinery around one unavailable component.

Yes. A damaged component doesn't necessarily mean the complete gearbox is beyond repair.

Bearings and seals are routinely replaced when they have reached the end of their working life. Depending on the damage and application, shafts can be repaired or remanufactured, while gears and other specialist components can potentially be manufactured or refurbished.

This is where having repair and precision engineering capabilities together can make a real difference. The solution doesn't always have to come from a gearbox manufacturer's parts catalogue.

When production is stopped, the repair needs to move quickly.

The first step is understanding exactly what has failed and what is required to put it right. Having mechanical repair, precision engineering and component supply capabilities together can help reduce delays when replacement parts aren't readily available.

For critical equipment, the quickest solution isn't always a new component. Repairing an existing part or manufacturing a replacement to specification can sometimes get the machine back into production sooner.

You can't prevent every mechanical failure, but you can make them much less likely to catch you by surprise.

Regular inspection, planned maintenance and condition monitoring can highlight changes in vibration, temperature, noise and equipment performance. Alignment, lubrication and bearing condition should also be considered where appropriate.

The objective is simple: understand the condition of your equipment, identify developing problems early and plan the repair before a manageable maintenance job becomes a production stopping failure.
