This company was not transparent on the hiring charges be very careful.
We hired track mats and had them picked up on a Friday but had them delivered on a Thursday. Once we got the invoice in we was charged to the following week the Thursday, so we was charged another full week of hire .£487+VAT .
Make sure u ask the right questions or you will get charged for items you haven’t used .

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your insights, as they've highlighted some areas where we can improve our services.

Please accept our apologies for any confusion or inconvenience caused by the transparency of our hire charges. We're all about being fair and transparent, and we regret that we did not meet this standard on this occasion.

In light of your feedback, we have taken immediate action to improve clarity. Our hire quote page has been updated to clearly display our terms of hire, enabling our customers to fully understand the conditions even before getting a quote. We also recognise the importance of making sure that our hire agreement is as clear and comprehensive as possible. So we will be reviewing this in the near future.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we are dedicated to making necessary changes to improve our service. Should you have any more suggestions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Not impressed

You get charged hire from the day they leave Groundguards' premises to the day they get back (not just the time they were on site), and they don't charge part weeks either, 3weeks and 1day is charged as 4weeks. When queried, i was told to refer to the conditions of hire which were never sent until I queried the invoice.

Their website states "Generosity" as one of their values, i would disagree.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your experience with us. It's really important to us to hear where we can do better, and your feedback has spotlighted an area we need to work on.

We hear you loud and clear on the hire terms issue about the charges from when our products leave our premises to when they're returned. We're sorry if this wasn't as clear as it should've been and for any hassle it caused. We're all about being fair and transparent, and it seems we've missed the mark this time.

Straight off the bat, we've tweaked our hire quote page to make sure our terms of hire are fully visible - so everyone knows what's what right from the start.

It's worth mentioning that our hire agreement, which outlines all the terms and conditions, has to be signed before dispatch. But we understand there are other touchpoints where we could help make this crystal clear.

Your feedback's a big deal to us, and we're grateful you took the time to let us know how we can improve. If there's anything else you want to chat about or need help with, just give us a shout.

Thanks again for getting in touch. We're looking forward to showing you the improvements we're making.

Excellent Services

Excellent Services. The equipment was high quality and well organised with great thought given in supplying all the components and handling tools needed to make the installation simpler. Delivery was exactly as stated and took away any stress that sometimes can ocour hiring in items. I would highly recommend this company.
