Generator Maintenance & Servicing
Generator Maintenance UK can arrange the necessary service and maintenance visits to keep your Generator in peak performance always in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification and requirements.
We will arrange for the 2 service and maintenance visits per year, known as A & B services.
Generator Maintenance Service visit A - For information on what we do on an A service, click here. Generator Maintenance Service visit B - For information on what we do on a B service, click here.
For much larger generators, we can take oil samples and analyse them rather than replacing the oil.
At the end of each generator maintenance visit, our engineers will leave you with a written signed report detailing the condition of your generator together with the details of any additional works required. If the replacement of parts is required, we can either complete the works on the same visit or arrange a mutually convenient time to return and carry out the work.
In addition to the servicing, as part of our Generator Maintenance UK contract you have a 4 or 6 or 8 hour response BE 24 /7/365 to site with direct access to an engineer on our 24 hour helpline. Don't worry, pick the phone and talk to an engineer 24-7. They will talk you through any queries you may have and if necessary send an engineer to site.
BE = We always give our Best Endeavours at all times.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE QUALIFICATIONS
Any expendable parts other than oil, oil filters which are included in the annual maintenance contract will be chargeable unless there is a separate 12 months all parts warranty in force. e.g. air filters, relays, instruments, etc will be replaced or arrangements made to replace them and they would be charged extra.
Any major faults found during a service inspection will be reported immediately to your site representative. Charges for repairs to minor faults will be treated separately with labour and the necessary materials to be charged extra. If a major fault is discovered which requires the attention of the manufacturer’s service engineer then their charges are extra and will be passed on to yourselves, unless there is a separate 12 months all parts warranty from ourselves in force, at the time; terms and conditions apply.
