About HSS Hire
Hire or buy
The catalogue runs from hand tools to heavy plant. Access equipment covers ladders, towers and platforms, while building and siteworks brings in diggers and dumpers. There are breakers and drills, concreting and compaction gear such as wacker plates, and decorating tools. Cleaning machines include carpet cleaners and floor sanders. Other sections handle heating, lighting, pumping and drying, safety and ventilation, surveying and location, and outdoor and gardening jobs. Dehumidifiers can be hired, and materials such as plaster can be bought outright.
Getting the kit
Two routes suit most jobs. Nationwide delivery brings equipment to the door or the site, and click and collect lets customers pick up from a nearby branch. Businesses can use the HSS ProService Marketplace, which provides trade procurement and credit accounts.
Help with choosing
Picking the right machine matters on hire jobs, and HSS offers advice through an online helpdesk and live chat. That helps a first-time DIYer working out which sander or dehumidifier fits the room, as much as a site manager sourcing access kit. The equipment comes from established brands, and HSS says it keeps every item to a high standard.
