Product was nothing like the one booked on the website and barely worked. Very old and worn out. When raised with staff they couldn’t care less. Waste of time and money.

Ordered and paid for hire of a floor sander online to pick up Monday morning.
Arrived to pick it up, and was told that it wasn't there, was told the website allows you to book and pay for items, but has no correlation to what the store has in stock. Still awaiting a refund, annoyed as I'd taken the day off of work, and not even an apology. Don't waste your time.

Great service from Taunton

Ordered a scarifier online, which was an easy process. I was contacted by the Taunton branch who were very friendly & professional. When I collected the machine was too big for the car, but they organised a same day delivery. Great service!

The lads at the hire station (Taunton Priorswood) were friendly and helpful and helped me load my trailer with the wood chipper, it was clean and worked perfectly. Dropping it back was quick and easy too. The online system was good and allowed me to see all the specifications and instructions before I hired the equipment.

Good morning Richard, thank you for leaving us a review. That's great to hear that the staff did a brilliant job and that the wood chipper was in the condition expected and worked well. Which branch of Brandon Hire Station did you visit, I'd like to pass the comments onto the staff there.
