Jay Salisbury Equipment Services With over 25 years of industry experience, we, at Jay Salisbury Equipment Services, specialise in garden machinery and grounds care equipment, service and repair and sales. We offer a power tool and small plant repair service, serving customers from the D.I.Y.er, to professional tradesmen, repairing anything from drills to petrol cut-off saws and from nail guns to portable compressors.

Since our launch in May 2010, we have become established with many local professionals and sports facilities including, Poulton-le-Fylde Golf Club, Norbreck Bowling and Tennis Club and other local contractors.

We offer free collection and delivery on all equipment in the area including ride-on mowers. We have a selection of used petrol and electric mowers available for sale at competitive prices. Whether you’re a domestic gardener or a professional landscaper or garden maintenance contractor, you will find our service and price difficult to beat.

As spring approaches, don’t be caught out when it comes to having your lawnmower serviced or your chainsaw sharpened. Year after year, people dig out their garden machinery in the spring only to find it doesn’t work. Traditionally, from Easter onwards, many garden machinery dealers are quoting anything from 3 to 8 weeks wait on repairs and servicing, so act now and make sure your mower is ready for this season.

“Often, in the first instance, customers approach us with a problem they have. A kitchen appliance has failed and can we help?”

At a time when many small retailers are being forced out of business by deep pocketed chain stores, independently owned Appliance Spares Direct is thriving.

Despite competing with many retail park chain stores located within a couple of miles, the Blackpool based domestic appliance store has increased its sales volume and profits over the last few years, according to owner Dougie Laing.

We are able to offer professional advice over the telephone for most enquiries so customers can carry out their own DIY repairs. We also employ professional engineers to do more complicated repairs in the customer’s home, at costs significantly lower than the manufacturer’s charges.

“We win this war not by going head to head against the competition”, says Dougie “but by offering all round independent first class service”.

He says the Appliance Spares Directs success in attracting new customers results from the personal service that the company is able to offer that the big stores cannot compete with.

Firstly, all customers are looked after by the owner himself who is passionate about the

“We can easily price match with the big stores on finished goods, but we offer free same day delivery and expert installation ”.

We offer an extra 5% loyalty reward on return visits to the store, and many customers return to us many times. Some we get to know personally.
