Decent service, machine a bit tired
Delivered on time, easy to extend hire period and reasonable value. Machine (Turf Cutter) started ok but a bit tired. Clutch didn't always disengage properly and tyre grip poor. Average for a hire machine.

The generator i ordered for hire…
The generator i ordered for hire unfortunately didn’t work as it was meant to. It was an old piece of kit and clearly hadn’t been serviced before it was hired out. Not up to the standards you’d expect when paying for something which should be in working order!

Reply from Brandon Hire Station - Colchester
Hi Matt, thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm so sorry to hear that the kit was not what you expected and the quality was not 100%. This isn't our usual standard and I'm glad you brought this to my attention.
I have reached out to the Colchester branch for more info on this and asked that this be investigated. I am awaiting a response but as soon as I know more I will be back in touch privately.
In the meantime if there's more you'd like to add, please get in touch on CustomerCare@brandonhirestation.com.
Speak soon - Hannah

Amazing service
Amazing service, the people here are so lovely!! They have helped me so much with getting the right tool for the job. Helling me load the equipment, letting me test run and showing me how to use it, there advise is second to none! Can't recommend enough. There is no where else I'd ever go!
