Good online ordering, quick delivery and reasonable price. Only downside and hence not a 5star, was late delivery on delivery date and early collection on collection date so you really lose 1 day.

Excellent sanding equipment
Good price, staff gave good instructions on how to use the equipment and extra tips. Equipment functioned well. Didn't use all sanding paper & dust bags and was easy to get a refund when returning the equipment. Cable on edge sander is very short so an extension cable should be recommended as standard.

Great Local Hire Company
I always use these guys for hire kit. Prices are generally good, delivery always good and they are local for smaller pick ups on jobs. Really good! Used them for almost a decade.

Broken floor sander all weekend
I hired a floor sander for the weekend, it broke down the first day, no backup no shops open to exchange it.
I paid £130 and was left with a broken tool all weekend unable to complete my floor project. I've now paid the professionals to come in and do it!
The guy in the shop was pleasant enough was talk about giving me a refund but that's all gone cold.

Hi Ed, thank you for your positive feedback. We're delighted to hear that you received great customer service at our Maidstone branch and that our team member was really helpful. Kind regards, the Brandon Hire Station team.
All the staff helpful and efficient.
I wanted to hire a drill but could not decide between two drills that were available. Rob the manager was friendly and helpful, setting up the two drills and explaining the advantages of both so that I could compare the two. I was very happy with the drill I chose. I can recommend hiring from the Wheeler Street site, as dealing with Rob and the staff was a pleasure.

I called this branch to hire a moss…
I called this branch to hire a moss removal machine but they didn't have this in stock and I needed this for the next day. I was dealing with Rob from the branch and he was so helpful he went out of his way to collect this machine from another branch so I had this for the next day, top service provided by Rob making this all so easy that i cant wait to go back and used Brandon tool hire again. Once again thank you Rob for all you help. See you soon.
