    Digger Hire FAQs

    What is the average cost of digger hire?

    The average cost of mini digger hire can range from £125 – £300 per day, however, the cost depends on a number of factors including the size of the excavator you wish to hire and if you require an operator as well as the machinery.

    How long can I hire for?

    We currently provide plant equipment to over 1000 clients ranging from small businesses to large construction/groundwork companies, on a short-term basis (a day or two) or for longer periods of hire (months).

    Do I need to do anything?

    In short, no there’s nothing that you need to do as once we’ve arranged a price and delivery date, we will deliver your digger to you. We do however recommend hiring an operator to assist you on your project if you’re never operated a digger before. Our digger hire operators are covered by public liability insurance and will ensure your job is completed quickly and professionally.

    Do you need a licence for digger hire?

    If you require a digger for projects on private land or worksites, you won’t require a license to operate the machine. However, if you are planning to drive a digger of any size on public roads, a valid driving licence will be needed.

    What can I say about this company? As a woman who who only knows her legal stuff and business and had no idea about 8 ton diggers I found them impeccable in every way. Dan the man was excellent. He guided me through every step from hire to delivery. Their human approach is second to none and their service first class. Thank you guys for a great service. We will surely be back.
