What an edger service actually involves
Edgers cop a hammering. Concrete, limestone, the odd reticulation pipe. Most of them come in with two or three issues at once, not just a blunt blade. Here's what we go through:
Blade inspection & replacement
Edger blades wear fast on Perth's limestone driveways. We check the edge, the mounting, and replace if it's chipped or under spec.
Shaft & bearing service
Sand and grass clippings get into the shaft over time. We strip it, clean the bearings, regrease, and check for play.
Drive belt replacement
Belt-driven edgers stretch and slip. If yours is slow to spin up or screeching on startup, the belt's the usual culprit.
Carburettor clean & rebuild
Two-stroke edgers sitting over winter gum up fast. We strip the carby, clean the jets, and replace gaskets and diaphragms as needed.
Fuel system service
Old fuel, blocked filters, perished lines. Cheap to fix, but it's why most edgers won't start after a long break.
Full diagnostic & tune
Spark, compression, ignition timing, idle, throttle response. Same diagnostic process we've used for 50 years.
A note for Beaconsfield edger owners
Beaconsfield is a mix of heritage homes, working-class blocks, and renovated terraces. Smaller block sizes than the outer suburbs but every one needs edging done. Plenty of tight access driveways and limestone walls that punish blades.
Most Beaconsfield edgers come to us because they've been used hard but not maintained. Once they get a proper service they tend to keep running for years. Just need someone to actually look at them.

If it's a petrol, electric or battery edger and it's broken, we can have a look. Doesn't matter where you bought it.
Your spark plug is trying to tell you something
Pull the plug out of any edger and the colour tells you exactly what's going on inside the engine. Most people never look.
This is the cheapest diagnostic tool in your shed. A 13mm or 19mm spanner, depending on your edger, two minutes of your time, and you can spot a problem six months before it leaves you stranded.
Here's what to look for on the electrode and porcelain:
- Light tan or biscuit brown. Engine's running right. Put the plug back in and forget about it for 25 hours.
- Black and dry, sooty. Running rich. Could be a clogged air filter, choke stuck on, or a carby out of adjustment. Easy fix usually.
- Black and oily, wet. Too much oil in the mix, or the carby is dumping fuel. Check your two-stroke ratio first. Should be 50:1, not 25:1.
- White or pale grey, almost clean. Running lean. This one's bad. The engine is starving for fuel and running too hot. Stop using it before you melt the piston.
- Black and crumbly with a coating that flakes off. Carbon buildup from old fuel or wrong oil. Time for a service.
While the plug is out, check the gap. Most edger plugs want 0.6 to 0.7mm. You can buy a feeler gauge from any auto shop for about 5 dollars. If the gap's wrong, the spark is weak and you'll get hard starting and rough running.
One more thing. Spark plugs aren't lifetime parts. They wear out. If yours has been in there 3 or 4 years, just chuck a new one in. They're 8 to 12 dollars and it makes a noticeable difference. NGK BPMR7A is the go-to for most edgers, but check your manual.

Common questions
Do you really pick up from Beaconsfield for free?
Yep. Saturday pickup, Sunday delivery, no charge. We've been running this through Beaconsfield and the rest of Perth for years.
How much does an edger service cost?
It depends on what's wrong with it and what brand you've got. Once we've had a proper look on the bench, we ring you with a fixed price before we do any work. No charging by the hour, no surprises.
My edger won't start. Is it worth fixing?
Almost always yes. Most "won't start" jobs come down to old fuel, a gummed-up carby, or a tired spark plug. None of those are expensive fixes. We'll have a look and tell you straight if it's not worth it.
How often should I service my edger?
Once a year for most home edgers. If you're a tradie running it daily, twice a year. Sand, salt, and dust are hard on bearings.
Do you service electric and battery edgers too?
We do. Battery edgers don't have carbies to worry about, but the shaft, blade, drive system and electronics all wear and we can service the lot. EGO Power+, Stihl battery, Honda battery, all good.
How long does it take?
Usually back to you within a week. Picked up Saturday, delivered the following Sunday at the latest. If parts have to come in, we'll let you know.
How do I book?
Easiest is the online booking on this page. Pick a slot, leave your address, done. Or ring us on (08) 9444 1284 if you'd rather talk to a person.
