ski & snowboard servicing
At the t.e.m. Service Company we have one of the most advanced manual workshops in the South, which we are capable of servicing skis and snowboards to the highest possible standards.
When equipment is new it will perform to its optimum performance level. Unfortunately once the equipment is used the base looses its wax layer and becomes scratched, which slows you down and edges get rounded which means you lose grip in the turn. The worse the snow conditions the more your equipment will get damaged.
We are based in Hampshire in a little village between Newbury and Basingstoke. Collection and Delivery can be arranged for a fee.

Holmenkol is the oldest wax manufacture in the world, founded in 1922 when skis still had wooden bases. They invented the different coloured waxes in 1948 with the silver / red / blue waxes for different conditions. In 1989 Holmenkol launched the first Fluor waxes and in the 1990's the TOPSPEED finish products which are 100% Fluor were introduced. This unique product line makes wax choice much simpler and has lead to countless victories in ski racing. In 2002 Holmenkol launched the Nanowax line and this use nanotechnology give skis & boards the edge over anything else on the market.
Wintersteiger has about 80% of the world market in Ski & Board repair machines. They are great innovators and invented the Stone Grinding machine and the Ceramic Disk edge finish machines amongst others.
