SparesMad

Reclaimed spare parts for garden tools and household appliances

SparesMad is a British online retailer specialising in reclaimed spare parts. Its catalogue is organised around two large families of products: garden and outdoor equipment on one side, and floorcare and air treatment appliances on the other. The company states that all of its parts are reclaimed and presents this approach as a way of avoiding waste, framing the business around reuse rather than the sale of new components.

The shop describes itself as offering genuine parts for leading brands and fast delivery within the United Kingdom. According to the site, shipping is free on all orders.

Garden and outdoor spares

The garden section covers the maintenance and repair of powered garden machinery. The range is broken down by type of machine and, within each one, by the specific component that may need replacing:

• Lawnmowers: spare wheels, blades, batteries and chargers, circuit boards, handle parts, grass boxes, blade bolts, rear rollers, switch boxes and other lawnmower parts.
• Grass trimmers: handle parts, spare spools, batteries, guard parts, accessories and motor parts.
• Hedge trimmers: blades, bolts, handle parts and other components.
• Pressure washers: hoses, power cables, casings, lances, pumps and spray guns.
• Chainsaws: chains, oil caps, guide bars, chain covers, handle parts and other chainsaw parts.
• Outdoor supplies: BBQ parts, tent parts and power cables.

The catalogue can also be browsed by manufacturer, with dedicated sections for Spear & Jackson, McGregor, Flymo and Challenge garden equipment, and a separate DIY section for Ryobi spares, including Ryobi batteries and chargers.

Floorcare and air treatment components

The floorcare side of the shop addresses the repair of vacuum cleaners and related cleaning equipment. Vacuum cleaner parts are grouped by appliance format: cylinder, upright, handheld and cordless. A separate accessories section lists consumables and attachments such as dust bags, filters, belts, tools and attachments.

Air treatment spares form another category, with parts for air conditioners, desk fans, fan heaters, pedestal fans, tower fans and dehumidifiers. The catalogue also includes a scooter spares section with handle parts and other components.

As with garden machinery, floorcare products can be filtered by brand. The site names Dyson, Vax, Bush and Bissell as the manufacturers covered.

The product listings combine own-brand and manufacturer-specific references. Among the items shown on the site at the time of writing were a pack of eight genuine blades for the Challenge MEH929 corded hover mower, a set of two wheels for the McGregor MCEIS24 impact shredder, a grass box lid for the McGregor MCEHM1129 hover collect lawnmower, handle levers for the Spear & Jackson S1637ER2 push mower, a motor for the Spear & Jackson SCR3637A cordless mower and a height adjustment rod spring for the Bosch Rotak 34-13 rotary mower.
