Robot Mower Installation Service, Prices & Advice

As mentioned before, it is absolutely vital that your new mower is installed correctly. Because if it isn’t, the best case scenario is that the mower will not perform as well as it should, but even worse (and more likely) you will probably end up having to rip up all the wire and start again. Which in most cases is quicker than trying to diagnose the fault. 

This is why we suggest that you use Oakleys to get it right first time. 

 

An installation carried out by Oakleys will include the following:
  • The option to extend your warranty from 2 years to 5 years.  Please ask us for a quote. 
  • Where the ground is accessible, all of the boundary and guide wires will be buried up to 5cm deep using our specialist wire burying machine. Click here to see it in action. 
  • We use higher spec / Heavy Duty 3.4mm cable. Not the cheaper 2.7mm wire that most installers use. This is to try and reduce the chances of faults happening in the future.  
  • We also offer a premium 3.6mm and 3.8mm cable for those who have problems with burrowing fury animals. 
  • Correctly installing the robot mower’s base station.  
  • Correctly setting up the robot mowers parameters. 
  • Fully calibrating and testing the mower. 
  • Linking the mower to the customers iPhone, iPad or/and Alexa device. 
  • On site tuition for the customer.  
  • High quality after sales service and support following the install.

      Installation Warranty 

       

      We will always look after our customers following an install. This is why we offer a 3 months warranty as standard. 

      If in the first 3 months there are any problems that have been caused due to ourselves carrying out the work incorrectly, then we will aim to have the problem resolved as quickly as possible, and free of charge.

       

      Where the customer takes responsibility

      It is important to note however that if we return to find a fault that has been caused by factors outside of our control, then will charge for any time spent on site as well as for any incurred travel costs. 

      This scenario is rare but it does happen. Here are some common examples of where an Automower may develop a fault despite being installed correctly… 

      • The most common one… Garden animals digging up or/and chewing through the wire. We can help prevent this by installing wire (at a slightly greater cost) that is thinker and has an extra layer of protection. 
      • Power failure to the base station.  
      • Obstacles (such as large molehills or fallen branches) restricting the mowers ability to navigate back to the base station to charge. . 
      • Following any landscaping (big or small) that could affect the boundary wire or the mowers access to the garden and its base station. 

      As mentioned before, it is absolutely vital that your new mower is installed correctly. Because if it isn’t, the best case scenario is that the mower will not perform as well as it should, but even worse (and more likely) you will probably end up having to rip up all the wire and start again. Which in most cases is quicker than trying to diagnose the fault.
