Why Regular Servicing Is Critical in 2025

🛠️ Woodworking Machinery Servicing in 2025: Why It Matters More Than Ever

The woodworking industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. In 2025, precision, safety, and efficiency are no longer optional—they're expected. For manufacturers, joiners, and cabinet makers alike, keeping your machinery in peak condition is critical not just for performance, but also for staying competitive.

At Pearson Technical Services, we’ve spent over 20 years in the field, and the last six building a company that's now trusted by over 200 clients. In this blog post, we’ll break down why regular servicing in 2025 is more important than ever—and how you can keep your machines running smoothly without breaking the bank.

🔧 Why Regular Servicing Is Critical in 2025

1. Modern Machines Are More Complex

Today's woodworking machinery comes with more electronics, automation, and safety systems than ever before. While these advances are great for productivity, they also require experienced technicians to maintain them properly. A skipped service could mean more than just downtime—it could mean expensive part failures or safety risks.

2. Compliance Isn’t Optional

Health and safety regulations are tightening across the UK, especially around classical machinery such as spindle moulders, circular saws, and planers. An annual service isn’t just best practice—it’s often a legal requirement. Non-compliance can put both your workforce and your business at risk.

3. Downtime Costs Are Higher Than Ever

With tight margins and even tighter deadlines, unplanned downtime can throw off entire production schedules. Preventative servicing means spotting issues before they escalate, keeping you in control of your workflow.

Grease pipes can experience significant problems when the incorrect type of grease is pumped through them. This can lead to: Blockages and clogs within the pipes Increased pressure that may cause pipes to burst Degradation of pipe materials over time
