Where Sky-Arb covers
One workshop in Astmoor, Runcorn, and a short drive round it. Collection always works, whoever you are and wherever you are coming from.

The short answer
Runcorn, and
a short drive round it.
The workshop is Unit 11, Dewar Court, on the Astmoor industrial estate in Runcorn, a couple of minutes off the M56. That is where machines get serviced, where blades get ground, and where hires go out from.
Collection from the unit always works, wherever you are. There is a roller door, room to turn a van and trailer round, and somebody who can help you hitch up.
Beyond that it depends on the job and the day. Ring and ask rather than guess from a map.

Coverage questions
Before you set off.
Do you deliver, or do I collect?
Collection from Unit 11 is always an option and it is what most people do. The towable machines go behind a van or a pickup on a standard towbar.
delivery area: to confirm
Does it cost more if I am further away?
Not for collection. You are picking the machine up from the same place whether you are five minutes away or forty-five.
Rates are on application either way, so ring and describe the job and the dates.
Can I send blades or teeth in without bringing the machine?
Yes, and plenty of people do. Blades and stump-grinder teeth come off, come in, and go back sharp. It saves bringing a whole machine across for a bench job.
Ring before you set off so we can tell you what is on the bench that day.
What if my town is not listed?
The list is the towns we get asked about most, not a boundary. Ring and describe where you are. If it is not sensible we will say so rather than take the booking and let you find out.
