Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens if the equipment breaks down during hire?

    If equipment breaks down during your hire, the best course of action is to stop using it immediately and contact the hire provider. Most companies have a policy in place for breakdowns, which may include sending out a replacement or arranging for repairs on-site. You won’t usually be charged for downtime due to mechanical faults beyond your control. However, if the issue results from misuse or operator error, you may be responsible for repair costs. Be honest about what happened, and the hire company will work with you to find a fair solution and minimise delays to your project.

  • What if I return the equipment late?

    Late returns can incur additional charges depending on the provider’s policies. Most hire companies operate on daily or hourly rates, so returning an item after the agreed time may result in being billed for an extra day or half-day. If you know you'll be late, it’s best to call and ask about extending the hire—it’s often more cost-effective than incurring penalties. In some cases, late returns can disrupt other bookings, especially if the item is in high demand. Communication is key—providers are more likely to be flexible if you keep them informed.

  • Do I need to clean equipment before returning it?

    Yes, hire equipment should generally be returned in the same condition it was received—clean and tidy. While normal use is expected, returning gear caked in mud, paint, concrete or debris may lead to cleaning fees. For example, power tools should be wiped down, toilets emptied and rinsed (if applicable), and machinery cleared of excess soil. If you’re unsure about how to clean something properly, ask at the time of hire. Taking a few minutes to clean equipment not only avoids extra costs but also helps maintain the gear for the next customer.
