Tool Hire in Keele & Silverdale

The 3.2m alloy scaffold tower provides a comfortable working platform at approximately 2.2m height with guardrails up to 3.2m. This is a popular choice for first-floor exterior work, fascia and soffit repairs, gutter cleaning and replacement, and rendering up to the first floor. At 900mm wide, this tower navigates narrow access points between houses, side alleys, and garden paths that full-size scaffolding simply cannot reach. The lightweight aluminium frame can be assembled by two people in under 15 minutes with no specialist tools required. All towers are fully inspected and serviced between hires. Supplied complete with stabiliser legs, adjustable base plates, locking castors, platforms, toe boards, and guardrails for a safe working environment.

The Hilti TE 1000 AVR is a professional-grade electric demolition hammer built for serious floor-breaking and occasional wall work. With up to 50% less vibration than conventional breakers in its class, you can work for longer periods without exceeding daily vibration exposure limits — a genuine advantage on multi-day demolition projects. Perfect for breaking up concrete floors, removing floor screed, demolishing blockwork walls, and chasing out large channels for drainage runs. The AVR (Active Vibration Reduction) system significantly reduces operator fatigue, making it a favourite with professional contractors. Supplied with a 3kVA transformer, 110V extension lead, one point chisel, and one flat chisel — everything you need to start breaking immediately. Runs on 110V site power for maximum safety. Weighs approximately 12kg, making it manageable for extended use.

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.

Our floor sander and edging sander hire package includes both machines — the drum sander for main floor areas and the edging sander for getting right up to skirting boards, thresholds, and corners. Together, they give you complete coverage for restoring and refinishing wooden floors. The floor drum sander (13" width, 42kg) handles the bulk of the work, stripping old varnish, paint, and accumulated grime from floorboards and parquet. The edge sander (11" disc, 17kg) reaches the 2-3 inches around the perimeter that the drum sander can't access. We supply a selection of sanding sheets and discs in grits 40 (coarse stripping), 80 (medium smoothing), and 120 (fine finishing) on a sale-or-return basis — you only pay for what you use. Return any unused sheets and discs at the end of your hire. Tip: Always sand with the grain of the wood. Start with 40 grit to strip back, then work through 80 and finally 120 for a smooth finish ready for oil, varnish, or wax.

Our portable petrol generator provides 2.0kVA of clean power with both 110V and 240V output sockets, making it the ideal power source for remote sites, outdoor events, and locations without mains electricity. Whether you're powering tools in a field, running lighting for an outdoor event, or need emergency backup power, this generator delivers reliable performance. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to transport in a van or car boot. The 4-stroke petrol engine runs on standard unleaded fuel with no oil mixing required — just fill up and start. Economical fuel consumption gives several hours of runtime per tank at typical load. The dual-voltage output (110V for site tools, 240V for standard equipment) means you can power virtually anything from a single unit. Built-in circuit breakers protect connected equipment from overload. Ideal for tradespeople working on new-build sites before mains connection, farmers needing portable power in outbuildings, and event organisers powering PA systems and lighting.

Our professional-grade petrol turf cutter makes short work of any lawn removal project. The self-propelled machine cleanly strips turf in even rolls at an adjustable cutting depth, leaving a smooth, level surface ready for your next project — whether that's laying a new lawn, installing artificial grass, building a patio, or constructing a driveway. The 22-inch cutting width covers ground quickly, and the powerful petrol engine drives both the cutting blade and the wheels, so you're guiding it rather than pushing it. Most average-sized gardens (up to 80m²) can be stripped in 2-3 hours. Weight: 93kg. Fuel Type: Unleaded petrol (not supplied). Transported on our delivery vehicle — this machine is too heavy for car transport. Optional Turf Cutting Service: Don't want to operate it yourself? Add our cutting service from just £100 extra — we'll cut the turf for you, leaving it ready to load into your skip. This also saves you the collection charge since we're already on site.

The JCB 8008 micro excavator is the smallest digger in our fleet — and the most versatile for tight-access projects. With retractable tracks that narrow to just 700mm, it fits through standard garden gates, side passages between houses, and even through doorways for internal demolition work. Despite its compact size, this 980kg machine delivers serious digging performance for its class. Perfect for digging foundations for extensions and conservatories, excavating for drainage runs and soakaways, preparing ground for driveways and patios, and garden landscaping earthworks. The zero tailswing design means the machine body doesn't extend beyond the track width when rotating — critical when working next to walls, fences, and parked vehicles. This is the digger that goes where larger machines simply cannot. Delivered and collected by our plant hire partner on a trailer. Fuel type: diesel (from £25 +VAT fuel charge, refundable if returned with full tank). Width: 700mm with tracks retracted.
