Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 157 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently reported severe delays and non-delivery of essential items, often finding themselves without necessary tools right when needed. Consumers also struggled heavily with getting their security deposit refunds back months after successfully returning items. People mentioned that trying to contact customer support was nearly impossible through phone calls or online chat functions.

A few consumers noted that the initial hiring process itself was efficient, straightforward, and managed properly by local contractors. Reviewers additionally pointed out that helpful staff occasionally made the collection and delivery process much easier.

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.
