Our products are built to the highest standards of quality and performance, and our warranty policy is a statement of confidence.

STIGA Ltd. provides a warranty on its Mountfield products against defects in materials and workmanship. Our products have been manufactured to the highest quality standards and are guaranteed for domestic use against faulty parts or manufacture.

The warranty covers all parts and labour undertaken on your machine covered by this policy. This is conditional upon the repairs being carried out by an approved Mountfield service dealer.

On walk-behind machines and handheld products, delivery and collection of the machine is the owner’s responsibility and is not covered by this policy.

Warranty Periods

The warranty period starts from the date of purchase by the consumer.

Warranty periods are those effective at the time of purchase and published in Mountfield literature and on our websites. Warranties are conditional on the product being used domestically and being serviced at the recommended intervals.

For products used commercially (i.e. for hire or by contractors, local councils, caravan sites, water authorities, or any similar use where the machine is employed for financial gain or is instrumental in being employed on properties being used for financial gain) the warranty period will be 90 days, unless otherwise stated.

Batteries and chargers on all petrol products carry a 12-month warranty.

Batteries and chargers for dedicated Lithium-Ion powered machinery will have a warranty length varying from 2 years, subject to extended warranty requirements. Please check this with your place of purchase.

Should a product be replaced under warranty, the warranty period will remain effective from the original date of purchase.
