Last updated: 2026-05-08. ## About CleanFix Repairs CleanFix Repairs is a sole-trader vacuum cleaner and hoover repair business based in Onchan, Isle of Man, covering the whole island. Repairs and full vacuum servicing are carried out for most domestic vacuum cleaner brands. The business has a 100% positive recommendation rate on its Facebook page and operates by appointment, 7 days a week including evenings. The trading style is friendly, low-pressure and transparent: a vacuum is dropped off (or collected anywhere on the Isle of Man for a small charge depending on distance), stripped down, assessed, and the customer is only given a quote once the fault has been identified. If parts are needed, the customer is contacted before any work proceeds. If the vacuum cannot be repaired, a flat £20 diagnostic fee applies — nothing more. ## Brands accepted Repairs and servicing are offered for most domestic vacuum cleaner brands, including: - **Dyson** — uprights, cylinders and the V-series cordless / stick range. Battery health checks and replacements available. - **Henry / Numatic** — Henry, Hetty, James, Charles, George, etc. - **Miele** — cylinder and upright models. - **Vax** — uprights, cylinders, multi-floor and steam-free models. - **Bosch** — bagged and bagless ranges. - **Hoover** (the brand) — uprights, cylinders, cordless. - **Sebo** — commercial-style uprights and cylinders. - **AEG** — bagged and cordless ranges. **Cordless and stick vacuums** are accepted, including Dyson V-series. Battery health checks and battery replacements are part of the service. **Shark vacuums** are accepted for **mechanical issues only** — Shark electrical faults are no longer taken on. If a brand isn't on the list, ask anyway — most domestic models can be looked at. ## Common faults repaired - **Lost suction** — blockages, split or torn hoses, perished seals, clogged filters, motor wear. Diagnosed and restored. - **Brush roll stopped spinning** — belt replacements, hair and thread strip-down, brush bar bearings, drive motors. - **Won't switch on** — cable, plug and switch faults. The most common reason a vacuum looks dead but isn't. - **Cable rewind faults** — sticking rewind, frayed cables, broken catches on cylinder vacuums. - **Burning smell** — usually a stretched belt or a brush bar that's seized. Caught early, an easy fix. - **Cordless / stick vacuum issues** — short run-time, won't charge, weak suction. Dyson V-series battery health checks and replacements. - **Vacuum servicing** — full strip-down clean, filter replacement, deodorising, brush bar service. Brings most vacuums back to feeling new. The list isn't exhaustive — if a vacuum is doing something odd, it's worth asking. ## Pricing - **Repairs are quoted only after the fault has been diagnosed.** No flat-fee quoting before strip-down — the price reflects the actual work and any parts. - **If a vacuum cannot be repaired, a flat £20 diagnostic fee is charged.** Nothing more, nothing hidden, nothing awkward. - If parts are needed, the customer is contacted before work proceeds. - Payment is **cash or bank transfer**, confirmed when the job is done. - A small **collection charge** applies for pick-ups outside Onchan, depending on distance across the island. - **Not liable for any pre-existing issues or damage.** ## How a job goes 1. **Drop off / collection.** Bring the vacuum to Onchan, or arrange a pick-up anywhere on the Isle of Man (small charge applies, depending on distance). 2. **Assessment.** The vacuum is stripped down and the fault is identified. 3. **Quote and fix.** If parts are needed, the customer is contacted first. Otherwise, standard clean and fix proceeds. A **courtesy hoover** is available to borrow while yours is in for repair, subject to availability — worth flagging in the first WhatsApp or email. ## Service area Based in **Onchan**, covering the **whole Isle of Man** (IOM): - Onchan - Douglas - Ramsey - Peel - Castletown - Port Erin - Port St Mary - Laxey - All surrounding villages and the rest of the island Drop-off in Onchan or collection across the island. ## Contact - **WhatsApp:** +44 7624 478079 — preferred. Send a photo of the fault for a quick initial diagnosis. - **Email:** cleanfixiom@gmail.com — preferred for longer queries. - **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582791960987 - **Hours:** By appointment, 7 days a week, evenings welcome. - **Reply time:** Usually same day. Phone calls are not actively solicited — WhatsApp and email are the quickest channels. ## What to include in a first message To get a quick reply and accurate first diagnosis: 1. **Make and model** of the vacuum (e.g. "Dyson V8 Animal", "Henry HVR 200", "Miele C3"). 2. **A short description of what it's doing** (or not doing) — "lost suction since I emptied it", "brush bar stopped about a week ago", "won't switch on at all". 3. **A photo** — of the fault if visible, or just of the machine. Speeds things up considerably. 4. **Where you are** on the island, if you'd prefer collection rather than drop-off. ## Frequently asked questions ### If my vacuum is repaired, do I still pay the £20? No. The £20 only applies when a vacuum turns out to be beyond economic repair. If it gets fixed, you pay the agreed repair cost — and that's that. ### How do I pay? Cash or bank transfer. The total is confirmed when the job is done. ### What should I tell you when I first get in touch? The make and model of the vacuum and a short description of what it's doing (or not doing). A photo of the fault — or just of the machine — speeds things up considerably. ### Where do I drop it off? Send a WhatsApp or email and the drop-off address in Onchan will be confirmed. Collection can be arranged from anywhere on the Isle of Man — a small charge applies, depending on distance. ### Will I be without a hoover while you're fixing mine? Where a courtesy hoover is available, you can borrow one while yours is in for repair — just ask when you drop the vacuum off. Stock varies, so flag it in your first message. ### Do you take Shark vacuums? Yes, but mechanical issues only — Shark electrical faults are no longer accepted. ### How long does a repair take? Most repairs turn around in **days, not weeks**. Sunday-to-Monday turnarounds are common for straightforward jobs (real customer feedback). Parts orders may add time. ### Is there a warranty on repairs? Repairs are completed to a high standard but the business is not liable for pre-existing issues or damage. If something goes wrong shortly after a repair, get in touch — these things are sorted out reasonably. ## Reviews and reputation CleanFix Repairs has a **100% positive recommendation rate** on Facebook.
