Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 149 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with delivery, including late arrivals or complete non-delivery, and problems with the ordering process like unavailable stock or incorrect items. Difficulty contacting the company, with unanswered calls and unresponsive chat, was a major frustration. Widespread dissatisfaction also arose from the refund process, especially for deposits that took months or never materialized. However, some people experienced smooth and on-time delivery and collection by local contractors, with a few finding the initial hiring process efficient.

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!

Scaffold tower hire

I hired a scaffold tower for a Saturday delivery but realised I needed to amend the booking for Friday delivery. The initial online booking was easy but when trying to alter the booking it was extremely stressful, trying to get a call back, calling and being told by an automated message that there was a 5 hour wait to speak to someone. Eventually after managing to raise a ticket number I was contacted via email and all was sorted. The delivery was fine, the tower was good, and collection was fine. I would use again but make sure I have everything sorted to avoid changes.

Didn’t deliver TWICE!!!

Booked delivery for Monday - accepted that delivery would be anywhere between 8am and 5pm - company called at almost 3.30pm to say it wouldn’t be delivered could they deliver at 9.00am - 9.30am next day - ok stuff happens at least it’ll be here in the morning to get going on my job - it’s now just before 11.00 am no sign of them and no call to say what’s happening. Just called them which goes through to a different company who say yes we’ve got your delivery on a van that is at least an hour away and no definite idea of time it’ll arrive so hopefully sometime today - If I had trades lined up this would be a nightmare - think I’ll be working very differently next time
