Hi Helen,

Let me start with your first point about us being a scam, you suggest this is because we outsource the hire to smaller companies.

We are a platform, like Uber, Booking com, Airbnb, Amazon, eBay, Just Eat, Go Compare, the list goes on, in fact you could say Tesco or John Lewis aggregate products and services from other companies, bring them together and sell them in store or online, the concept is not new or unique.

In terms of who we work with we work with, we work with international, national, regional and local independant supply partners. We take great care to make sure they are providing our customers with a great service at all times and need to know if anything falls down at any stage.

We have many thousands of hires each month and sometimes things don't go to plan, but we are here to help and put things right, where we can.

Which brings me on to my point of most concern, that you had a company you say "knowingly" delivered broken equipment, I'm not sure why anyone would do that, it doesn't make commercial sense, but to then have a driver looking through your windows on your property concerns me the most.

Can you provide more information on your order, as I cannot ascertain your order number from your forename alone and need more information.

i will then pursue this with the supplier and see what went on and look at your order history as well. If you have camera footage, that would help enormously too.

If you update your review with an order number we can go from there and hopefully get some resolution for you

Kind regards

Bob Jones

To help resolve this quickly, could you please send your order number and any other details about your hire to MyExperience@NationalToolHire.co.uk

A direct phone number for our customer service team is also available to all customers – you'll find it on your original order confirmation or invoice.

Once we have your order details, we'll look into this straight away and get back to you personally.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback – we genuinely appreciate it and want to make this right for you.

Best regards,

Hi Simon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about the extremely frustrating experience you had with your scaffold tower order. Missing multiple delivery days, poor communication, and the dropped calls are not the standard we aim for, and it's completely understandable why you're so disappointed - especially with three days of work lost.

It seems on this occasion one of our suppliers let both of us down, and this reflects badly on us and was very inconvenient for you too. We process many thousands of orders successfully each month and situations like this are very rare, but we know that doesn't help when it happens to you.

We would really like the opportunity to look into this and put it right for you. Could you please send your order number and any other details about your order to MyExperience@NationalToolHire.co.uk

Our customer service team is also available on the phone number shown on your order confirmation or invoice, and they’ll be happy to help.

Once again, sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We hope to hear from you so we can make this right.

Kind regards,
National Tool Hire Team

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we really do appreciate hearing from our customers.

I completely understand why the experience so far hasn’t met your expectations, and I’m sorry that it’s left you feeling frustrated enough to leave a 1-star review.

Just to give a bit more context on how we work: we operate as an aggregation platform (similar to Uber for taxis, Booking.com for hotels, or Deliveroo for food). We don’t own the tools or the depots ourselves — instead, we connect customers like you with a huge network of over 2,000 local hire companies across the UK. This model allows us to offer no trade account required, simple online booking, and nationwide delivery without the usual barriers that traditional hire firms often have.

We process thousands of hires every month, and while the vast majority go smoothly, we’re reliant on many different parties (the local supplier, equipment condition, transport, and how the tool is used). Occasionally things don’t go exactly to plan, and when that happens we know it can be really disappointing.

What puzzles me a little is that you chose to extend your hire this morning, which suggests that up until now the equipment has been working for you and the booking process itself hasn’t caused major issues.

That said, I’d love to understand the full picture of what’s gone wrong from your side.
Would you be happy to drop us a quick email at MyExperience@NationalToolHire.co.uk? I’ll personally make sure it comes straight to me so we can look into your specific case, understand where we fell short, and see how we can put things right for you.

We’re always looking to improve, and honest feedback like yours helps us do exactly that.

Thank you again for your review, Anthony — I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

Dear Justin,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback – we’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with us.

We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive the wood chipper without the goggles you paid for, especially when the machine then didn’t perform as expected. On this occasion it looks like one of our suppliers let both of us down, and we know how inconvenient and disappointing that is for you too.

I can see that your deposit and the cost of the goggles were refunded on 21st April. However, if you’re still waiting for confirmation or if anything else is outstanding, please send us your order number (or any reference you have) to MyExperience@NationalToolHire.co.uk. We’ll look into this straight away and make sure everything is resolved for you.

A member of our team is also available on the phone number shown on your order confirmation or invoice if you’d prefer to speak to someone directly.

We process many thousands of orders successfully each month, but we know that when something does go wrong – even if it’s rare – it reflects badly on us and leaves a poor impression. We’d really like the chance to put this right for you.

Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to hear from you soon so we can sort this out properly.

Best regards,

Good afternoon Ken,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback on Trustpilot regarding the pricing shown on our website. We really appreciate you sharing your experience, even when it's not the one we aim for, it helps us improve.

I’ve personally gone through both of our booking flows in detail (the quick product page version and the full basket/checkout process). In both cases, we display the full breakdown of costs — including hire rate, delivery/collection charges (where applicable), VAT, and any other fees — before you reach the final payment screen.

On the product page, once you select your dates and location, you’ll see a clear price summary.
On the basket page, everything is totalled up with a full itemised view.

We’ve worked hard to make our pricing as transparent and upfront as possible compared to many others in the tool hire industry. That said, I completely understand that if it didn’t feel clear or obvious to you during your visit, it’s still not good enough for us.

One thing worth noting is that the vast majority of our hires include delivery and collection in the price (except for some larger or specialist items that require dedicated transport due to size, weight, or regulations). We try to be very clear about this too, but I’d love to hear your specific thoughts.

Could you possibly let me know which part of the pricing felt unclear or hidden? For example:

Was it the delivery charge not standing out enough?
The way the total was presented on mobile/desktop?
Or something else entirely?

Your detailed feedback would be incredibly helpful. I’ll personally pass it on to our website and pricing team right away so we can review that section and make it even easier for future customers.

We’re always listening and genuinely want to make the booking process as straightforward and trustworthy as possible. If there’s anything else from your experience you’d like to share, please feel free to email me directly at MyExperience@NationalToolHire.co.uk.
Thank you again for your honesty, feedback like yours is exactly how we get better.

Kind regards
