About Simply Nearby
Finding somebody who repairs a sewing machine or vacuum cleaner shouldn't require searching through dozens of unrelated adverts. Simply Nearby brings together contact details and practical repair arrangements in one clear directory.
What you can find
We currently cover sewing-machine and vacuum-cleaner repairs across Great Britain. You can choose a repair type, enter your postcode and see repair locations that match the selected distance and service arrangements. Some providers also advertise collection or courier repair services.
Individual repair businesses sometimes offer several workshops or staffed drop-off points. We display those as separate locations while counting the parent firm only once as a business.
How listings are selected
We research businesses using the providers' own published websites, repair-service pages and contact information. We distinguish workshop drop-off, third-party drop-off points, postal options and collections instead of treating them all as walk-in workshops.
Listings are editorial information, not paid rankings, quality scores or certifications. The yellow “Nearest drop-off location” label indicates the closest eligible drop-off address according to the postcode-distance calculation. It does not mean that business is more skilled or better rated.
Business details, opening hours, appointment requirements and prices may change. It is sensible to contact the business before travelling or sending equipment.
What Simply Nearby does not do
We do not perform repairs, arrange bookings, accept equipment, process repair payments or guarantee repair outcomes. Any agreement for repair work is made directly between you and the repair provider.
We do not currently publish customer review scores or paid placements. If advertising or reviews are introduced later, we will identify those clearly.
Distances and postcode searches
Distances are calculated approximately as the crow flies between postcodes, rather than by road. The search uses Postcodes.io. Northern Ireland postcode matching is not offered at present because commercial use of those data requires separate licensing.
A postcode you actively enter is sent from your browser to the lookup service. More information is in our privacy notice.
Corrections and contact
If a business has closed, moved, changed telephone number, or should not appear, please email [email protected] or use the contact and corrections page. We review reports and change or withhold unsupported information.
