Vacuum repair

Does anyone know of somewhere local to Putney that does electrical repair of things like vacuum cleaners?  Appreciate that it's mostly cheaper to just buy new these days but would like to try to see whether there is an easy fix for this before binning it as it cost a fortune just a few years go.  Any steers will be very gratefully received.

You need to go to Multifix on the URR in Sheen. 020 8878 3822Their story is here...https://www.eastsheenvillage.co.uk/shop/multifix/

Have you tried troubleshooting the make and model on the internet first just in case it is something really simple? You can often find videos on how to mend things and if you've lost the instruction manual you can often find those on there.It is depressing the number of these which end up at the HWRC because the owner has not emptied the bag or cleaned the filter.  Apparently it is an enormous number.Having said that I'm also told that they work better if they are serviced every so often!  Local repairers are precious...If anyone has a problem with lost nozzles or finding a bag that fits their appliance there are online companies such as espares which can help with bits and pieces for many electrical pieces of equipment.  (Not so long ago I replaced the light and gasket on my oven and wondered why I had put it off so long.  Replacing the gasket was an absolute doddle although that was what I worried about.  The light was a pinta because it was so difficult to get the cover off.)

Thanks both that's really helpful and certainly appreciated. I'll give that company a go.  I tried the YouTube videos but alas no joy. Thanks again for your help.
