Hidden gem
Hidden gem. Heard about this through a friend in construction and is now my go-to for tool hire. Wide range of tools/kit, knowledgeable and welcoming staff for even the semi-clueless, decent prices (was same price to hire here for a week than most other places for 3 days) Only negative, Brandon wasn't there.

Service was decent and reliable
Service was decent and reliable. We tried to hire a scaffold hoist, which in the end fell through. They instantly refunded the full amount paid and did provide a lot of help finding a solution when their hoist did not work.

Web site not linked stock
Web site is not linked to what stock is held by any particular depot, it accepted my order and payment but when I went to collect from the designated depot, item not available. I managed to locate in alternative depot some 30 miles away. When I went to operate the equipment, the instructions were for a different model.
