Repair, Northern Ireland

Repair businesses diagnose faults and restore items to working order, helping customers extend the useful life of products rather than replace them. Depending on their specialism, they may work on household appliances, electronics, furniture, tools, machinery, vehicles, clothing or other goods. The work can include inspecting an item, identifying the cause of a fault, replacing or adjusting components, carrying out tests and explaining any limitations or further work needed. Customers may be able to arrange repairs at a workshop, book a visit to their home or business, or use a collection and delivery service. Typical services include fault-finding, maintenance, component replacement, refurbishment and repairs following accidental damage. Some businesses also supply spare parts or advise whether an item is suitable for repair. The skills, equipment and safety requirements vary by the type of product being repaired, so services offered differ between businesses.
