Emergency Hydraulic Callout Frequently Asked Questions

Emergency Hydraulic Callouts — Cornwall and Devon

Do you offer emergency hydraulic callouts in Cornwall and Devon?

What is the emergency hydraulic callout number?

Call 01566 788344 the moment you have a breakdown. Save this number so it's ready when you need it. We treat every emergency with urgency.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency hydraulic breakdown?

We aim to respond as quickly as possible. Response times depend on your location and current workload, but hydraulic emergencies are always a priority. The sooner you call 01566 788344, the sooner we can get to you.

Where do you cover for emergency hydraulic callouts?

We cover Cornwall, West Devon, and the wider South West from our base at Kennards House, Launceston. Not sure if we can reach you? Call 01566 788344 and we'll confirm.

Can you come to my farm for an emergency hydraulic repair?

Yes. Farm breakdowns are exactly what our mobile callout service is designed for. We attend with a fully equipped van to repair hoses, rams and hydraulic faults on site, across Cornwall and Devon. Call 01566 788344.

Do you attend roadside hydraulic breakdowns?

Yes. We provide roadside emergency repairs for commercial vehicles, tippers and machinery across Cornwall and Devon. Our rapid-response team carries out on-site repairs to get you moving again. Call 01566 788344 straight away.

What should I do when my hydraulic hose bursts on site?

Follow these steps while you wait for us:

1. Stop the machine safely and secure it
2. Avoid contact with leaking hydraulic fluid — it can be hot and under high pressure
3. Keep others clear of the area
4. Have your machine details ready

Then call 01566 788344 and we'll be on our way.

Can you replace a hydraulic hose during an emergency callout?

Yes. Our mobile vans are equipped to make up and fit new hoses on site. In most cases, we can get you working again there and then, without the need to remove and transport the hose.

Can you repair a hydraulic ram during an emergency callout?

Many ram faults can be assessed and resolved on site. Some may require workshop attention for a full rebuild, but our mobile team will always do their best to get you moving quickly. Call 01566 788344 and we'll advise on the fastest solution.

How much does an emergency hydraulic callout cost in Cornwall or Devon?

Callout costs depend on your location, timing and parts required. We are always transparent about pricing before we begin — no surprises. Call 01566 788344 for an honest estimate.

Do you offer emergency callouts during harvest time?

Yes. We understand how critical the harvest season is for farming operations across Cornwall and Devon. A breakdown during harvest costs time and money, so we prioritise getting you back in the field fast. Save 01566 788344 now so it's ready when you need it.

We cover a wide range of machinery, including:

• Tractors, loaders and telehandlers

• Combines and harvesting equipment
• Tippers, trailers and commercial lorries
• Groundcare and construction site machinery

Whatever you operate, call 01566 788344 and we'll do our best to help.

Do your mobile vans carry hydraulic parts and hose-making equipment?

Yes. Our vans are fully equipped with hose-making equipment and a stock of common parts, so we can carry out most repairs on site. This means less downtime and no need to wait for parts to be delivered separately.

Can I call Farm and Fleet Services outside normal office hours for a hydraulic emergency?

Call 01566 788344 for urgent breakdowns and we will do our best to assist. Hydraulic failures don't follow a timetable, and we know how important it is to get back to work quickly. Keep the number saved and call us the moment you need help.
