Hawkhil's - Garden Machinery Repair Specialists

Experienced Garden Machinery Repair Services in the Bromley/Chislehurst area

Your local specialists for servicing, maintenance and repair of all types of garden machinery and horticultural equipment.

We are a brand new company comprised of ex FR Jones workshop staff with decades of industry experience. Our priority will be undertaking repairs for our local customers in the Bromley, Kent and South East area. We’re offering the same great level of quality craftsmanship, but with a much speedier turnaround.

We are operating from a new workshop from our residential address in Chislehurst on a temporary basis, until we are able to acquire premises that is more appropriate and convenient for our customers. We are actively seeking premises so any recommendations/referrals would be gratefully received. In the meantime, please reach out to us by phone or email to obtain the drop off location.

We look forward to welcoming you, and thank you for your support!

Matt and Sami
