Clear, simple hire terms — no hidden surprises.
Insurance
All hired equipment must be insured against theft, damage and public liability for the duration of the hire. You have two options:
Option 1: Your own insurance
If you have existing plant/equipment cover, we’ll need a copy of your policy schedule showing the machine type is covered. Suitable if you hire regularly or already hold contractor’s all risks (CAR) insurance.
Option 2: Short-term cover via us
For one-off hires, we can arrange short-term cover — typically a small daily premium added to your hire invoice. Covers theft, accidental damage, and public liability.
Deposits
A refundable security deposit is taken before delivery. Amount depends on machine — typically £200–£500. Returned in full on collection, subject to the machine being in the same condition as delivered.
Your responsibilities
- Return the machine in the condition it was delivered (fair wear and tear excepted)
- Refuel before collection (or accept refuelling charge)
- Report any damage or incidents immediately
- Only allow operation by competent, briefed operators (or hire our operated service)
- Secure the machine when not in use
Our responsibilities
- Deliver the machine clean, serviced, and fully fuelled
- Provide a full operational briefing on arrival
- Respond to any mechanical issues within 4 working hours
- Keep you informed throughout the hire period
Cancellation
Cancellations more than 24 hours before delivery: full refund. Within 24 hours: delivery cost may be retained. Please give us as much notice as possible.
