Longer projects, staged work and several machines
With several trades in Prestons, it often makes sense to quote one machine per trade, or one longer hire shared across the programme. Tell us the sequence and we will quote the option that fits the access windows and hire length.
For a project running three months or more, long-term hire rates apply to selected machines, per day and ex GST. Send the stages, the dates each trade needs access and how many machines may be needed at once, and we will quote hire, delivery and collection around the programme.
