How it works

  1. Tell us what you need. Fill in the enquiry form or call 0800 90 60 30.
  2. We assess your site. We'll check your power, gas, water and drainage, then recommend the right equipment.
  3. Agree your plan. Pick Fully Maintained or Non-Maintained, for 12, 24 or 36 months. A credit check is required. Payments are weekly, paid one month in advance, and we'll confirm pricing and terms in writing.
  4. Delivery and installation can be arranged at additional cost. The equipment is commissioned and certified as required. On a Fully Maintained rental, we train your team on safe operation and daily cleaning at handover.
  5. We keep you running. On a Fully Maintained plan, all servicing and repairs are included. If a rental machine needs major repairs, we supply an alternative machine as close to its specs as we have available.

Your responsibilities

Clean the equipment daily as shown at handover, and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Report faults promptly, and don't let anyone else work on the equipment.
