Top Chainsaw Service & Repair related questions

The cost of getting a chainsaw serviced can range from £7.50 for minor maintenance to £100 for a complete tune-up.

Not necessarily. When you hire a Tasker to do a chainsaw repair and service, they can bring the necessary equipment with them so you won't have to worry about anything else. Should you need any specific chainsaw tools or accessories, such as a sharpening kit, bar wrenches, spark plug, chainsaw chain, or lubricating oil, feel free to mention this when posting your task so your Tasker can prepare and gather everything before going to your location.

Chainsaw repairs are typically done on an as-needed basis, but chainsaw servicing is recommended at least once a year for general wear and tear. For those who use their chainsaws regularly, however, you must do so at least every quarter. Regardless of how often you use it, it's always best to check the oil, fuel, and chain tension before using it to ensure it works properly.

The length of time it would take to perform a chainsaw repair would entirely depend on the extent of the damage. For example, regularly maintained chainsaws requiring a tune-up might only need an hour or two to get back to working condition. On the other hand, poorly maintained chainsaws can take half a day to work. The key here would be a proper diagnosis, as this dictates the extent of work needed to be done.

Taskers can assist you with just about any service that you need. Should you need reliable handymen and tradies to work on your home's fixtures, we've got you covered! Whether you need a lawn mower repair, an electric installation, or someone to fix your power tools, Taskers can get the job done without the fuss. Just put up your task, and we'll handle the rest! Simply create a request, and consider your needs as good as fulfilled!

What do chainsaw repair and servicing include?

Despite how built-to-last these nifty machines are, chainsaws are still subject to general wear and tear. Whether your tool needs sharpening or an entire chainsaw brake repair, maintaining and servicing it is integral to prolonging its service life.

We can connect you with tool repair experts who can help you resolve your chainsaw problems. Taskers can work on petrol chainsaws or electric chainsaws. When posting your task, make sure to indicate the issue you're having, as well as the make and model of your chainsaw so your Tasker can prepare accordingly. If it's your first time booking with us, here's what you can expect from a chainsaw service in your area:

Chainsaw problem diagnosis

Your Tasker first checks the condition of your chainsaw. There could be several reasons why your chainsaw would stop working: lack of lubrication, a disruption in the power supply, incorrect chain tensioning, premature wearing, or a mechanical malfunction.

Once they locate the cause of the issue, your Tasker informs you of the repairs required to fix your chainsaw. They can also let you know if there are any replacement parts needed, or if your chainsaw is already beyond repair and needs to be replaced entirely.

Chainsaw repair and test-run

With the source of the problem located, your Tasker can now proceed with fixing your chainsaw using protective gloves and safety gear. Depending on the issue, they can either replace the chainsaw chain, adjust the links, check and clean the air filter, or repair the fuel filter in case there are any leaks. If you happen to have an electric chainsaw, your Tasker will most likely troubleshoot and fix its cables and connectors as well. Once done, they can do a quick test run to make sure that the repairs applied have brought your chainsaw back in commission.

However, if your chainsaw is deemed unrepairable, then it may be best to replace it instead. It's a whole lot safer as you can avoid further damage and accidents from occurring due to faulty components in the long run.

Chainsaw servicing and maintenance

If you tend to use your chainsaw quite frequently, then regular chainsaw maintenance and servicing is critical to keep it in good working condition. Your Tasker can assist you with basic maintenance procedures, which typically involve:

  • Checking the spark plugs
  • Inspecting the air and fuel filter
  • Lubricating or sharpening the chain
  • Ensuring proper chain tension
  • Replacing the chainsaw bar, especially if there are apparent burn marks and other signs of wear and tear
