6 Signs Your Brakes Might Need Relining
Here are six key indicators that it might be time to take action and either replace or reline your vehicle’s brake shoes.
We understand that valuable downtime cost money and as a result to minimise downtime and cost, Custom Brakes and Hydraulics Ltd offer a 24-hour / 365 days reline service for the overhead crane and elevator service industry.
All modern friction materials we use are Asbestos Free, however, the brake relining materials we strip off brake bands and brake shoes may still contain old Asbestos based materials, due to this all our stripping work is carried out in a controlled environment, using dust extractors. Furthermore, old brake linings are safely disposed of in a sealed container . For safety reasons, many crane manufacturing and service providers require certification of Asbestos lining disposal , we can provide all required documentation and certification at your request.
Our modern workshop located in the heart of Sheffield and our skilled machinists enable us to carry out all types of relining and bonding services that you may require.
With over 40 years of experience, we are proud to offer a combination of high-quality workmanship, excellent customer service and competitive prices that you will not find elsewhere.
We are proud to be a UK based supplier of high quality automotive electro-mechanical parts, we deliver a fast and reliable service to the OEM and after market sectors for construction, agriculture and road going vehicle market.

Great traditional Sheffield engineering from Naomi, Scott and the Team. Re-lined American boat trailer brake shoes within 24 hours and returned them within 48 hours. Professional service at a very reasonable price. Thanks.Posted on David ArcherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant service from Scott and his team. I posted the brake shoes from my Velocette Venom motorcycle on Monday afternoon and received them back just 48 hours later fitted with new linings. The quality is spot on and they even painted the shoes and chamfered the ends of the linings. The price was also very reasonable. Needless to say I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys, DavePosted on Richard DobbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and good value for money, bonded and riveted my linings, next day service too. 1958 Scammell HighwaymanPosted on peter szczesiakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great place to recline your classic brake linings, older vehicles arnt that well served for parts anymore and it's a case of repair rather than replacement. A 24 hour turnaround can be better than waiting for the parts to arrive as well, it's also well priced to bootPosted on Dick BurrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. just fitted brake shoes on my 1947 field marshal relined by these guys and what a fantastic job they have done.👍👍👍👍Posted on Tery ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
