What we do

KEEPING YOUR WORKSHOP RUNNING WITH RELIABLE COMPRESSED AIR

Compressed air is essential to the day-to-day running of many workshops. From air tools and tyre equipment to spray guns and other pneumatic machinery, a reliable supply is vital to keeping your business operating efficiently.

At Garafit, we supply, install, service and repair air compressors, as well as providing the pipework, filtration and drying systems needed to deliver clean, reliable compressed air throughout your workshop.

We supply HPC and Mark compressors, offering solutions to suit different workshop sizes and requirements. We also service and repair existing compressors, regardless of where they were originally purchased. From a new compressor installation to maintaining your existing system, we provide practical advice and ongoing support to help keep everything running as it should.

What we do with compressors

Supply and installation

We supply and install compressors selected to meet your workshop's air requirements. From choosing the right capacity to installation and commissioning, we make sure your system is suited to your equipment and day-to-day demands.

ROUTINE SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

To maintain performance, reliability and efficiency, we recommend servicing your compressor every six months, with one minor service and one major service each year. Minor Service (Every 6 Months) A routine maintenance visit focusing on the essential checks and servicing requirements to keep your compressor operating correctly. This includes checking the compressor's general condition, inspecting for leaks, checking oil levels, drains, belts and filters, and carrying out any necessary minor maintenance. Major Service (Every 12 Months) A more comprehensive service involving the replacement of key service components, including oil, air filters and oil separators where applicable. We also carry out additional inspections and checks to assess the overall condition and performance of the compressor, helping to identify potential issues before they develop into costly breakdowns. Following this servicing schedule helps extend the working life of your compressor, maintain efficiency and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime. Service requirements can vary depending on the compressor model, manufacturer recommendations and operating hours.

Breakdown repairs

When your compressor stops working, your workshop can quickly come to a standstill. We provide a 24 and 48-hour emergency repair service for our customers, helping to identify faults and get your compressed air supply back up and running as quickly as possible.

WHY YOUR COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM MATTERS

Choosing the right compressor and maintaining your compressed air system is essential to the smooth running of your workshop. A compressor that is too small may struggle to meet demand, resulting in continuous running, increased wear and reduced efficiency. Equally, an oversized compressor can lead to unnecessary energy consumption and higher running costs. Air quality is just as important. Without the correct filtration and drying equipment, moisture and contaminants can enter your pipework and reach your tools and machinery, potentially causing damage and affecting performance. Getting the right equipment, installation and maintenance in place from the beginning can help reduce operating costs, improve reliability and extend the working life of your system.

Questions

Compressors — your questions answered

Do you supply, install, service and repair all types of compressors?

We supply and install HPC and Mark compressors, providing complete compressed air solutions for workshops, including associated pipework, filtration and drying equipment. We also service and repair a wide range of compressor makes and models, regardless of where they were originally purchased. Whether you need a new installation, routine maintenance or help with a breakdown, our engineers can help.

How often should my compressor be serviced?

We recommend servicing compressors every six months, with one minor service and one major service carried out each year. A minor service includes routine inspections and maintenance, checking oil levels, filters, belts, drains and the general condition of the machine. A major service involves more comprehensive maintenance, including replacing essential service items such as oil, filters and separators, as required by the manufacturer's recommendations. Regular servicing helps maintain efficiency, reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and extend the working life of your compressor. Requirements will vary depending on the make, model and usage.

How do I know what compressor my workshop needs, and can you install and repair the complete system?

Choosing the right compressor depends on your workshop's air consumption, the equipment being used and how many tools are likely to run at the same time. Receiver tank size alone doesn't determine the compressor you need. We can assess your requirements and recommend a suitable system, including the compressor, air receiver, pipework, filtration and drying equipment. We also provide breakdown repairs if your existing compressor develops a fault. Our engineers can investigate the problem, advise on the necessary repairs and help get your compressed air system back up and running.
