I'm seeking a lawnmower repairer in South Hertfordshire.  There used to
be one in Elstree but they are no more.  Any suggestions?

Bushey is very good for me!  Unfortunately my lawn mowers(*) are
electric.

(* An Oxford dictionary has it as one word.)

Electric? Due to labour charges electric lawnmowers are often an 
uneconomical repair unless it is something quick and simple such as 
replacing worn motor brushes or a faulty power cable. What is/are the 
problem(s) with your mowers?

The manufacturers website will usually provide details of appointed service 
centres.

Where to begin?

One doesn't work at all and I suspect that the motor is burnt out.

The other turns through about 10 degrees and then stops: there is no
obvious blockage.  The cylinder is not parallel to the horizontal bar
(the technical name of which I don't know) against which the blades cut,
and turning the adjusting screws doesn't fix the problem.

They both need sharpening.

Ideally, I would like to hand them over to a competent repairer and say:
do what needs to be done.  I would expect c.r. to reply: not worth it,
if that was so.
