The Fleet
HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT.
Our equipment includes Tile Bumpers, Tower Scaffolds, Stihl Saws, Mixers, and Heavy Duty HILTI Breakers. Every machine is fully serviced, fueled, and ready for immediate deployment on your site.
Petrol Tile Bumpers
Save your back and speed up the job. Our petrol-driven roofing hoists are essential for getting heavy reclaimed slates safely to the scaffolding in half the time. Powered by ultra-reliable Honda engines, these hoists drastically cut down loading times on big strip-offs or new installs.
- Reduces manual labor & fatigue
- Fast, straightforward site setup
- Reliable Honda petrol engine
Tower Scaffolds
Safe, rigid, and fast to erect. Our lightweight metal access towers are ideal for smaller domestic repairs, chimney pointing, or accessing awkward valley gutters where erecting a full scaffolding rig isn't financially viable.
- Multiple height configurations
- Compliant & highly stable
- Quick assembly for rapid deployment
Stihl TS420 Cut-Off Saws
Professional 2-stroke petrol saws. When you are dealing with thick, reclaimed Yorkshire stone or tough Welsh slate, you need serious cutting power. These industry-leading Stihl saws deliver precision and endurance.
- High power-to-weight ratio
- Cuts dense stone and slate easily
- Premium diamond blades available
High-Capacity Cement Mixers
Essential for bedding ridge tiles, pointing verges, or general site work. Our robust orange mixers are serviced regularly to ensure they won't let you down halfway through a critical mix.
- Thorough, consistent mixing
- Durable for continuous site use
- Cleaned and serviced between hires
Heavy Duty HILTI Breakers
When it comes to site clearance, removing stubborn concrete, or breaking out old structural elements during a strip-off, HILTI breakers are the industry gold standard. Massive impact energy with vibration reduction so your operators can work longer and safer.
- Unmatched breaking performance
- Active Vibration Reduction (AVR)
- Perfect for heavy site clearance

Hire Details
HIRE FAQS.
Do I need a trade account to hire?
No, you do not need an extensive corporate account. We serve both trade roofers and the general public. Just bring standard ID and a deposit to secure your hire.
Do you deliver the equipment?
Most of our equipment is collected directly from our Colne yard. However, for larger items or extended hires, we can arrange delivery across Lancashire and the Yorkshire borders for an additional fee.
What happens if a tool breaks down?
We service all gear between hires to prevent this. But if a fault occurs on site, call the yard immediately. We will swap the unit out as quickly as possible so you don't lose a day's work.
Do you supply consumables?
Yes. We can provide diamond blades for the Stihl saws and fuel at the point of hire. Just let us know what you need when you book.
