Need to send my clippers off for a service and blade sharpen and was wondering if anyone has used leicester clipper services? Their prices seem v. reasonable, but makes me wonder if they're any good?

Thanks :)

Not someone I ever came across during my years in the trade, so unable to help. My three top tips for repair experts would be:

www.hcsservices.co.uk/

www.clippersharp.com/

www.clipperservices.co.uk

Good luck (PS horse blades need to be sharpened concave, or they will not cut properley, so best avoid people who specialise in pet blades)

:) thanks. They do mention on their website about blades being concave. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for a service?
 
I have just sent mine off to leicester clipper services,and so far they seem very helpful.
Not had them back yet,but has already been marked as dispatched as of today (only sent off on friday,so pretty quick),so assume will get them tomorrow or next day.

Can't try them out until this stupid weather dries up though:rolleyes:

I've never heard of them but always use Wolseley in Exeter and find them first rate, quick and very helpful. Hope that helps.:)

Can you give me some more info on this please?? I live in Exeter is all but have not heard of wolseley,but if could take them to somewhere locally would prefer it.
What sort of establishment are they and do they sharpen them on site??
Many thanx:)
 
I use leicester clipper services all the time and can honestly say that they are excellent. They are very quick, very reasonably priced and they are very sharp when they come back. They are also very cheap on their servicing and repairs too. I have used loads in the past but have never had such good service as I do from these so I guess cheap doesn't always mean bad lol

Nice to hear a good review of someone new! I always tend to say, use someone who comes via personal recomendation so nice to hear they are good!
 
I'm not sure they are that new, I think they have been around some years now. But I completely agree, it was a recommendation by someone that made me start using them. I probably would never have stopped using hcs if it wasn't for my friend mentioning Leicester clipper services.
 
Dear rog, I wouldn't give up your day job to become sherlocks assistant just yet. The reason 'the majority' of my posts have been about Leicester clipper services is because I clip for a living and I too have been let down in the past with blunt blades. The only forums I discuss on here are regarding clipping (with it being my full time job) and hence the only reason I replied/posted about them is because I haven't used anyone else (apart from hcs about 10 years ago) so I feel it would be ludicrous for me to recommend any other company as I wouldn't be able to speak from experience. If in the future I do send them somewhere else and they do a good job then I will happily recommend them on here but until then I won't.

I stand corrected on my original thinking :)
