04 — Plant Hire
Plant hire with operator in South Wales.
Need plant on site but not the full construction package? We hire our equipment with an experienced, qualified operator, so you get the machinery and the expertise together.
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.

Why us
Why hire plant from Jac Jones Construction?
Experienced operators
Our operators are part of our permanent team. They have worked complex groundworks and new build projects for years, and they understand site safety, ground conditions and how to work alongside other trades.
Well-maintained machinery
We look after our equipment because it is central to our own business. You will not get a machine that breaks down on day two.
Flexible hire terms
Day hire, week hire or longer. We will discuss what works around your programme.
Transparent pricing
Clear daily and weekly rates, quoted for your site, with no hidden charges.
Fully insured
Jac Jones Construction Ltd holds £10m public liability cover (£5m primary with Aviva plus a £5m excess layer) and £5m employers' liability cover with Aviva. Certificates available on request.

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.
