Hi Michael, We apologise that our customer service fell below our usual high standard on this occasion. After requesting that one of your online hires be cancelled, an error occurred in cancelling the wrong one. We attempted to readdress this for the right day. Due to circumstances beyond our control with car park maintenance at the collection point, your preferred collection point was no longer available, and the next nearest point was not convenient for you.
We accept that none of this was ideal and proved frustrating; however, we hope that you will give us another chance to prove ourselves in the future.

Fantastic all round
I have been using Height for Hire for several years and have consistently found their customer service and overall company setup to be outstanding. From locating the right equipment to the excellent service provided by their staff, the experience has always been seamless and reliable.
I will continue using them for many years to come that’s for sure.

AMAZING service for MEWP hire
We recently needed a 20-meter MEWP for motorway lighting work in Leeds and chose Height for Hire. The experience was exceptional! Stephanie Carter, the Sales Manager, was absolutely brilliant throughout the process. She was incredibly responsive, answered all our questions quickly, and made sure we had exactly what we needed. It was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. If you ever need help, ask for Stephanie, she’ll take great care of you! We’ll definitely return to Height for Hire whenever we need MEWPs again. Highly recommended!

Disgusting Customer Service
The treatment of SWAT since last Thursday has been nothing short of disgraceful.

After the initial hire where you have an induction it’s pretty simple to sort out a hire online.
My contact is Geeta A
She keeps in touch with me every so often and after every hire for feedback.

20m Cherry picker Hire
I hired a 20m cherry picker online for a roof repair. The process was straight forward. I met the support staff at the vehicle on the day and he talked me through the controls as it was my first time. The vehicle drove well and it allowed me to carry out my repairs. I returned it the following day as agreed and the process went smoothly. A little note to mention, as it was my first time I had forgotten the diesel tank was under the flatbed and not by the passenger door. I contacted customer services who was happy to help. A useful tip would be to put a sign under the flatbed to say " please put diesel here " would help. It would save time for both parties. Very happy with the company and will use them in the future when the need arises.

Great work from machine and operator.
Top Grade both of the machine and the operator were perfection in unsociable hours with no complaints and a great attitude; we cannot say enough good things to support this. Without doubt both ourselves and partner companies will be using you again.

Hi Les, thank you for your great review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with HighDrive and we look forward to working with you again soon.
Great equipment and service
Emma in the office was very helpful right from the start. Always giving quick responses to my enquiries. Craig gave great training when I picked up the machine. The MEWP HX200 truck was pretty much brand new and did the job brilliantly. It was easy to drive but the safety alarms are annoying. You have to drive it like Miss Daisey is in the back trying to build a tower of playing cards.

Brilliant company and cherry picker
Brilliant company to deal with and great cherry picker. Very easy collection and drop off. Whenever I have had a question or a problem Ben H has been brilliant and been able to deal with it straight away and flexible.
