Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 147 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers struggled significantly with getting their large financial deposits returned after returning equipment, often waiting months without receiving any refunds despite making multiple attempts. People also experienced severe communication breakdowns, finding it nearly impossible to reach anyone by phone or get helpful replies through online chat functions. Some reviewers were happy with the initial booking process and the local contractors who actually handled the final equipment delivery. Consumers noted that when items actually arrived safely on schedule, the delivery drivers were polite and very helpful on site.

Let down on delivery day!

Order placed day before needed and I received an email the next day saying stock was low and you couldn’t fulfil the order. Complete waste of time and let me down at the last minute. Maybe your stock levels should be linked to your website so people can see if you actually have what your advertising!

Easy to book online

Easy to book online. Only hiccup was not noticing an email sent by support early on the morning of hire offering alternatives and then not being able to get through when trying to contact them to confirm my choice would be delivered. However, leaving a request for a call back and being called by a really helpful customer service advisor sorted it out for me. From then on I had no problems. The ladder was delivered by a very helpful driver and he also picked it up when finished. Very pleased.

If I could rate -100

If I could rate -100, I would. Paid order — no delivery, no refund. Zero communication, they cancelled without explanation. Avoid this company at all costs!

Avoid this company.

Cancelled on day of delivery and said I’d have to wait up to 5 days for a refund as there were “no suppliers in the area having the kit available”. I was only trying to hire a set of steps???
Do not waste your time on these guys.

Service, communication

Chat bit is useless. Waited in all morning for delivery. Had done the usual of paying for the hire of a ladder after putting in my information. Paid by CC - bank wanted me to log in to approve which I did. However on checking my account payment is not showing ….a bit concerned if this is a scam - phone number on website does not work either. My advice -….look somewhere else for hire but be careful otherwise you could waste a whole morning as I have done.

Had my order Cancelled 12:00 the day…

Had my order Cancelled 12:00 the day before delivery!
No phone call to rearrange no apology nothing.
Had discussed delivery times the day prior to cancellation and was told it’s all booked and had a AM delivery. No explanation from the team just cancelled and refunded. 2 days of work & money lost due to this. Extremely unprofessional, won’t use again

Very disappointing service

Very disappointing service. I booked and paid for the hire of a cement mixer on the 06/08/25 for 24 hours hire. I even paid £5 extra for it yo be delivered before 13:00.
I received a message on the actual day it was meant to arrive on informing me that due to lack of supply it would not be delivered today (06/08/25 but would instead be available for hire and delivery on the following day. I ended up losing a full days pay due to this unnecessary delay. I contacted the company telling them this and expressing my dissatisfaction in their service (or lack of) and wanted some sort of compensation or at least a discount for the inconvenience caused along with the days pay I missed out in. They simply replied with "we don't offer compensation or discounts"
Very disappointed and I will not be using this company again and I highly warn everyone to be very cautious when dealing with this company. Their customer service is totally disgraceful.

First question is how is this company…

First question is how is this company running and one of the first companies to come up when I type in stairwell scaffolding hire???

Secondly.
I ordered the scaffold. Received an email to say it’ll be with me between 8am-5pm very vague.
To wait all day to have nothing delivered. No email. No call. Nothing.
Tried speaking to the live chat and just went in circles.

Bottom line is - NO ONE USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A SCAM.

Unsuitable for diy hire

The initial hire was postponed by them on the morning of the original date. Delivery was very good and the tool worked well. The tool was supposed to be collected on the Monday but by Friday I still hadn’t heard from them. I tried contacting them from the phone number on the invoice but it was discontinued. The new number didn’t work properly with option3 not working at all. I used option 1 and waited. Eventually a voice told me of long delays and said I could request a callback but failed to tell me how to do this. I have nowhere safe to leave this (expensive) tool for collection so I have waited in all week. This firm is totally unsuitable for diy tool hire. Iphoned them today at 3pm- no one there!
