Vacuum equipment and workshop support since 1983
We’ve been helping people choose and look after vacuum equipment since 1983. From our base in North Walsham, Norfolk, we supply pumps, systems and spare parts, and service and repair equipment in our own workshop.
Browse vacuum pumps, packaged systems, freeze dryers and gauges by brand or product type.
Explore equipment →Explore spares and service kits, or send us the pump model and part number for help identifying what you need.
Find parts & service kits →Tell us the pump model and what has changed. Our workshop can help with repairs and routine servicing.
Explore repairs & servicing →Girovac became the UK distributor for MIL’S of France in 1996. Alongside new pumps and systems, we’ve long supplied reconditioned equipment and laboratory freeze dryers, helping customers find an option that suits both the job and their budget.
You might know exactly which part you need, or just know that your pump isn’t behaving as it should. Either way, you’re welcome to get in touch. Tell us what you’re working with and we’ll help you work out the next step.

A pump’s ultimate vacuum is only part of the specification. Pumping speed, the gases or vapours being handled, duty cycle and maintenance requirements all affect the choice. We help industrial and laboratory customers find equipment that suits the application, whether that means a replacement pump or a complete vacuum system.
Explore two-stage rotary vane pumps, single-stage oil-filled pumps and dry-running options, including claw and carbon vane pumps. For high-vacuum applications, our catalogue also includes turbomolecular and diffusion pumps.
Already have a manufacturer in mind? Browse pumps by brand or product type, then contact us to discuss suitability and the equipment you need alongside the pump.
We supply vacuum systems for industrial, composite and medical applications, alongside laboratory and industrial freeze dryers. System selection needs to take account of the whole process: required pressure, capacity, controls and how the equipment will be installed.
Send us your process requirements or the details of an existing installation. We can help you identify the options and the information needed to move your enquiry forward.
Routine maintenance starts with identifying the correct consumables. Our range covers vacuum pump oils, vacuum greases and sealing compounds, and diffusion pump fluids, with guides to the products and their uses.
Oil and fluid selection depends on the pump, its operating conditions and the manufacturer’s specification. Send the pump model and the product currently used if you need help identifying a replacement. We also supply spare parts, service kits, vacuum fittings, valves and filters.
Our workshop in North Walsham supports customers with vacuum pump repairs and servicing, including single- and two-stage pumps, mechanical boosters, vacuum valves and gauges.
If a pump has become noisy, is leaking oil or is no longer reaching its usual pressure, tell us what has changed. Include the make, model and the process it is used for. These details help us discuss the next steps and whether a repair, service or replacement is worth considering.
A reconditioned vacuum pump can be a practical option when replacing existing equipment or working to a budget. We offer reconditioned pumps, including Edwards single- and two-stage models, subject to current stock.
Let us know the model you are replacing, the pressure and pumping speed you need, and your timescale. We can check what is available and discuss whether a reconditioned unit suits the application. You can also ask about vacuum pump hire.
Part numbers change and older equipment can be difficult to identify. Our specialist sourcing service helps with enquiries for vacuum equipment and components that are proving difficult to find. A clear photograph of the nameplate, the original part number and any available drawings give us a useful starting point.
Tell us what the pump will be used for, the required pressure and pumping speed, the gases or vapours involved, and how often it will run. If you are replacing a pump, send its make and model as well. We can work through any missing details with you.
Send the pump make, model and the name or specification of the oil currently used. Include any details about the process. Oils with similar descriptions are not automatically interchangeable; compatibility with the pump and application needs to be checked.
Girovac is the UK distributor for MIL’S. Our catalogue also includes equipment from manufacturers such as Edwards, Leybold and DVP. Visit our vacuum equipment brands page for an overview, or ask us about a specific model, spare part or service requirement.
You do not need a complete specification to start a conversation. Tell us what you are trying to achieve and any equipment you already have. We will help you work out the next step.

Discuss your requirementClear explanations to help you choose equipment and investigate common vacuum problems.
Understand the difference between checking a particular joint and measuring leakage from a complete component, and where helium fits into each method.
Read the guide: Helium leak detection: local and integral testing explained →A rising pressure does not always mean a leak. Learn how leaks, trapped gas and outgassing behave, and what to check before replacing parts.
Read the guide: Vacuum leaks and outgassing: how do you tell the difference? →Narrow pipes, long runs and fittings can reduce the pumping speed available at the chamber. See why the pipework matters as much as the pump rating.
Read the guide: Why vacuum pipework can limit pumping performance →Explore composite processing, laboratory vacuum, vacuum holding and CNC, or central vacuum systems. Each guide connects the process requirements with pumps, measurement and accessories.
