Common questions
Digger & driver hire: your questions.
Can I hire a digger without a driver?
No. Every machine comes with one of our experienced drivers. It keeps the work safe and the insurance straightforward, and an experienced driver gets far more done in a day.
How much does a day’s digger hire cost?
It depends on the size of machine, whether you need a dumper as well, and how far we are travelling. Call us with the job and the postcode and we will give you a day rate that includes the driver and delivery.
Will the digger fit into my garden?
We check the access before the day. If the machine will not fit, we will tell you before you book.
