Compaction & Concreting Hire

Our electric cement mixer is the perfect tool for mixing concrete, mortar, and render on your construction project. Powered by a reliable electric motor, it eliminates the noise and fumes of petrol mixers — ideal for residential areas and enclosed spaces where you need to keep neighbours and clients happy. The 134-litre drum handles generous batch sizes, letting you mix enough material for footings, slabs, and wall builds without constantly stopping to mix more. The tilting drum design makes pouring simple and controlled, and the sturdy tripod stand puts the drum at a comfortable working height. Mounted on wheels for easy repositioning around your site. Tip: Cleaning is simple — throw a bucket of water in the drum and leave it spinning for a few minutes after each session. This rinses out remaining cement before it sets, keeping the mixer in perfect condition for your next batch.

Our wacker plate (compactor plate) is built to conquer even the toughest compaction tasks. Its powerful vibrating action compacts and settles soil, sub-base, and type 1 aggregate, delivering a solid, stable foundation ready for driveways, patios, paths, artificial grass, and block paving. The 500mm plate width covers good ground with each pass, making it efficient for both small domestic jobs and larger commercial groundworks. A foldable handle makes transport and loading easier, and the robust 4-stroke petrol engine provides reliable power throughout the day. Essential for any project where you're laying a base — without proper compaction, your paving will shift, your artificial grass will develop ridges, and your concrete slabs will crack. Building regulations typically require compaction in layers of no more than 150mm for best results. Fuel Type: Unleaded petrol (not supplied). Weight: approximately 85kg.

The easy float is a clever hand tool that lets you achieve a smooth, professional finish on concrete surfaces you can't physically reach on hands and knees. Essentially a float on an extendable handle, it's the finishing tool for large concrete slabs, garage floors, driveways, and any pour where you need to trowel the surface while the concrete is still workable. The lightweight aluminium head pivots and floats across the wet concrete, smoothing out trowel marks and creating an even finish. The clip-together handle adjusts from 1.8m to 5.5m, giving you reach across slabs up to 5 metres wide from a single edge — no need to walk across wet concrete and ruin your pour. Professional tip: Work the float in long, sweeping arcs across the surface while the concrete is still in its plastic state. Multiple passes at different stages of curing (initial set, then final) give the best finish. Essential kit for any slab over 2m wide.
