About us

A family firm, not a hatch

We opened in 2012 with three mixers and one trailer. There are over 120 machines on the yard now — hammer drills through to tipping trailers — and the same rule holds: nothing goes out off a shelf. It goes out run up, set right, and with a word about how to get the job done quickly and safely.

If you are not sure whether a 90 kg plate is enough for block paving, or what your car can legally tow, ring us. The advice costs nothing.

How it works

How hiring works

No ten-page contract. Four steps and you are away — the detail is in the hire terms.

You book the machine

By phone, email or the form on this page. We hold the machine for the date you agree.

You come in and leave a deposit

Photo ID and something with your address on it. Deposit by cash or card, and we write out the ticket.

We run it up and show you

It gets started in front of you and we show you the knack of it. Goggles and ear defenders are lent free.

You bring it back, we hand the deposit over

We check the machine there and then and give the deposit straight back — no waiting for a transfer.

Three things worth knowing before you hire

Ask what your car can legally tow. Since 2021 an ordinary car licence covers a combined weight up to 3,500 kg — but that is the car and the loaded trailer together, and it is your licence on the line. Ring and we will work it out with you.
The weekend really is two days. Out on Friday afternoon, back Monday morning, charged as two. It is on the ticket, not just on the website.
Check what is not in the price. Fuel, extension leads and consumables are yours. We say so at the counter rather than at the end, and we will lend you the goggles.

Enquiry, nothing committed

Tell us what you want and when. We come back before the end of the working day and put the machine aside.

The enquiry commits you to nothing. The machine is only held once we have confirmed it by phone or email.
