Hired tower scaffolding. Delivery and pick-up went well. One or two components showed sign of wear but it did the job fine and could be erected by one person. Price was good for the project.

Excellent service to resolve an emergency situation
A pillar outside my house (holding up a balcony) cracked and split, and the whole thing was in danger of parting company with the front of the house. I was advised to get hold of the acro props and scaffold board immediately and contacted Speedy Hire. My initial call was to the wrong branch, but I was dealt with politely, knowledgeably and swiftly, and the correct branch called me back. I want to give special thanks to Norman at Speedy Hire Oldham for dealing with my request. I can not thank him enough. I would use the company again in the future!

Equipment was in well maintained condition. Delivery drivers both very helpful.
Despite delivery being late afternoon on day 1 and equipment being off hired 1st thing on day 8, eight whole days hire was charged.
Delivery / collection charges expensive £25 each way despite depot being 4 miles from site

Reply from Speedy Hire
Good Morning,
Thank you for your review, your feedback is important to us.
We are happy to hear the equipment was in order and our delivery drivers were helpful. However, it is disappointing to hear you were not fully satisfied due to being charged for a full day hire despite the kit being delivered late and also, the transport costs.
I can confirm the matter will be investigated with the relevant parties.
In terms of transport costs, unfortunately we do have standard charges despite the distance and for access equipment that charge is £25. Collection charges will always match the delivery cost which I understand you find this expensive. I will use this as feedback to the relevant department.
If there is anything else that we can assist you with in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us on customerservices@speedyhire.com
Kind Regards

Poor experience
Poor experience. Delivered a broken wacker plate, then replaced it with one without fuel. Still tried to charge me for the missing fuel. They even took money out of my deposit for the collection even though I had chosen this on the website which they then denied.
Hiding charges from customers is the reason for my compliant. The additional charge was not clear otherwise I would have paid it rather than trying to lift heavy machinery into the boot of a car.
I have had 2 missed calls that I was unable to pick up as I was in meetings at work. I assume that is what you call a resolution or your branch has misled you.

Good Morning Andrew,
Thank you for your review, your feedback is important to us.
We are very disappointed to hear that you had a poor experience with us on this occasion.
Please accept our sincere apologies. We pride ourselves on delivering an excellent standard of service to all of our customers.
I can confirm that all collection charges will always match the delivery fee regardless. The charge will not be listed when you order (in case you wished to return to the Depot for free) but there is a notification to advise all customers of this on the checkout page.
Upon further investigation, the depot has informed us that a resolution was made accordingly. We hope that you are satisfied with this resolution and once again, please accept our apologies.
