Easy and affordable

Easy to hire from, good price and friendly service. They were a bit slow to collect but not really a problem. Definitely recommend and will use again

Excellent service

Vary good service, arrived the morning after I ordered it for the previous evening, but this was ok as they still delivered before the time I was going to start. The driver manoeuvred the digger into the back garden for me, which was a god send as had a very narrow passage way down the side of the house. Digger was exactly what I needed for the job and worked well, the buckets were easy to change with the quick release mechanism, saved a lot of time and hassle. Collected on time and again driver manoeuvred the digger down the narrow passage way onto the trailer. Very happy with service received.

Super Easy last minute booking

Super Easy last minute booking. Needed the Kubota Mini Digger for a small landscaping project. Very good communication. The digger was great. We needed some help with changing the buckets and got help straight away. Highly recommend. Handover was very straight forward too.

Quick delivery and reasonable hire…

Quick delivery and reasonable hire costs. The whacker plate was well used and the on/off switch was quite temperamental but did the job we needed.
Equipment was not collected on end date of hire, and it took them 2 extra weeks to collect the items after the hire period. The communication during this time was quite poor. Despite this, I would use the company again.
