Durable, easy to work with, versatile and economical – it's no wonder concrete is such a popular man-made building material.

We offer vibrating plate hire, wacker plate compactor hire, cement and concrete mixer hire and much more so that you can create a stable foundation or 'subbase' for your concrete, and mix it at home or in a trade setting.

Health & safety

The materials used to make concrete are all quite heavy, so protect your back by lifting with your legs bent and your back straight, placing the weight between your legs and as close to your body as possible. Wear waterproof gloves, long sleeves and long trousers to prevent prolonged contact with your skin, or you risk irritation and burns. Wash any exposed areas as soon as you can using pH neutral soap and water.

Plate compactor hire

Our wacker plate hire and vibrating plate hire means you can create a stable subbase for your concrete quickly and easily. Our range includes light vibrating plates right through to heavy duty vibrating plates for compacting sand, hardcore and gravel.

Cement mixer and concrete mixer hire

We also offer affordable cement mixer hire and concrete mixer hire. To mix up concrete you must combined several ingredients including water, aggregate, cement and, often, special additives – and it's easiest to do this using our concrete mixer hire. Your precise choice of ingredients will depend on your intended use for the concrete surface, for example whether or not it will bear heavy weight, such as a driveway, and whether it will be exposed to extreme temperatures.
