04 — Plant Hire

Based in Blackwood, NP12, we cover plant hire across South Wales, including Cardiff, Newport, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil and beyond. The same machines and operators that run our own groundworks are the ones that turn up on your site.

Questions

Plant hire, answered.

Do you supply plant without an operator?

No — all our plant hire includes an operator. That is a deliberate choice: our machines are run by our own experienced staff, which protects safety, efficiency and the quality of the work.

How much does plant hire cost in South Wales?

Rates depend on machine size, duration and site location. Contact us and we will quote for your specific requirement.

How much notice do you need?

We recommend two to three weeks where possible, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on our project schedule.

Are your operators CPCS or NPORS certified?

Yes, our operators hold the relevant plant operator certificates. We can confirm specific certifications on request.

Can you supply a grab wagon at the same time?

Yes — we can coordinate excavation and removal as a single package.
