Local service

Site support across Cornwall

Harvtec is based in Brea, Camborne, with work across Cornwall agreed around the site and scope. Tell us the location, access arrangements and production constraints so we can confirm suitability and availability.

What Harvtec covers

The fault does not stop at a trade boundary.

A drive trip can involve the motor, mechanical load, control sequence or supply. Our electrical and mechanical apprenticeship background, machinery investigations and controls work support a joined-up approach. The scope still depends on the equipment and the technical access available.

Industrial fault finding

For a machine that stops unexpectedly, an intermittent fault or a problem passed between electrical and mechanical trades.

  • Recurring stops and unexplained trips
  • Symptoms that change with load or sequence
  • Evidence-led diagnosis before parts are replaced

Machinery repair and mechanical work

Use the findings to scope repairs, worn parts, fabrication or workshop preparation around the actual machine.

  • Mechanical condition and repair needs
  • Motors, gearboxes and driven equipment
  • Cutting, welding and one-off engineering

Controls, drives and machine supplies

Industrial electrical work from distribution and isolation to sensors, control panels, motor controls and Siemens LOGO programming.

  • PLC inputs, outputs and sequence investigation
  • VSD/inverter and motor-control faults
  • Panel wiring and agreed alterations

Extraction and LEV faults

Follow extraction problems through fans, motors, controls and physical defects, with specialist exposure-control work identified separately.

  • Reported loss of extraction performance
  • Electrical and mechanical defect investigation
  • Repairs linked to examination findings

Workshop preparation

Bench wiring, programming and repair preparation can support the site work, with settings and useful handover records retained.

Ongoing engineering attention

Turn recurring defects into maintenance priorities, routine site inspections and tracked actions where ongoing support is agreed.

How the work moves

Start with the problem. Agree the engineering route.

Understand the equipment

Share the machine identity, symptoms, operating conditions and previous work. Available drawings, fault codes and maintenance history help set the starting point.

Agree access and investigation

Confirm isolation, production constraints, technical information and the scope of diagnosis. Identify manufacturer-specific access or additional specialist input.

Explain the findings

Separate observed faults from possibilities, agree repair options and record outstanding issues. Where useful, connect follow-up work to a maintenance programme or Magrathea.

Check the guidance

Questions

Useful answers before you enquire

Can you help when OEM support is difficult to obtain?

We can review older machinery and the information available to see what can reasonably be investigated or repaired. Proprietary access, parts availability and safety requirements may still require the manufacturer or another specialist.

Do you provide emergency breakdown attendance?

Contact us with the site, equipment and production impact. We confirm availability directly after understanding the job; no guaranteed response time or round-the-clock cover is promised.

Can you stay involved after a repair?

Yes. We can agree follow-up checks, maintenance work or recurring site inspections. These are scoped around the plant and your team, with responsibilities and records made clear.
