Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 147 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers struggled significantly with getting their large financial deposits returned after returning equipment, often waiting months without receiving any refunds despite making multiple attempts. People also experienced severe communication breakdowns, finding it nearly impossible to reach anyone by phone or get helpful replies through online chat functions. Some reviewers were happy with the initial booking process and the local contractors who actually handled the final equipment delivery. Consumers noted that when items actually arrived safely on schedule, the delivery drivers were polite and very helpful on site.

Do not use this company

I hired a floor sander through Mammoth, no information was supplied as to where I needed to pick up the hired equipment. I was not able to get I contact with Mammoth even tho they had charged me. Do not use this company, just go to a local tool hire in your area. Mammoth just calls them up and places an order on your behalf anyway whilst charging you extra.

Poor service communication

Poor service communication, failed to deliver, although online booking said available for dates required. Request a full refund due to inability to provide tools purchasing, awaiting refund. Let me down on a large contract. 2nd time now. Will not be a 3rd

No delivery

The product was not delivered on the agreed date with no notification that there was a problem.
Took a day off work to recieve the delivery which turned out to be a wasted day

This is now the second time your…

This is now the second time your company, along with your subsidiary, National Tool Hire - has mishandled our order. The repeated delays, untimely communication, and disorganisation have caused serious disruptions to our operations.

As a small family-run business, we rely on timely and professional service from our suppliers. Your actions have not only disrupted our project schedule but have also damaged our reputation, leading our customer to question our reliability. This is completely unacceptable.

We have documented all the issues, correspondence, and the resulting impact on our business. I will be filing formal complaints with Trading Standards, the Ombudsman, and Companies House. I will also make our experience public in all the social media and review platforms to ensure other small businesses are aware of the risks of working with your company.

Your poor handling of this situation reflects a serious lack of professionalism and business ethics. While you may be a large company, your treatment of small businesses is deeply disappointing and far below industry standards.

If you are a small business, do not use this company - They don't really care.

I was unable to complete ID online

I was unable to complete ID online. Your ID support emailed to ask for photo of me, passport and bank statement. I would then be directed to measly lace that had item available and if not refund. Have had no reply and was unavailable on phone. No refund. No roller.

Terrible Service

Hired some stepladders for on day collection from their Chester store. Processed it fully and received an e-mail confirmation but no collection e-mail. Don't know where the Chester store was as there was no details. Tried calling several times and couldn't get an answer. Eventually got an advisor on their live chat who said their supplier didn't have stock but they didn't even bother to let us know this. Terrible service all round in all honesty. Wouldn't use again.

A Most Impressive and Commendable…

A Most Impressive and Commendable Service Experience

I feel compelled to extend my sincerest commendation to Mammoth Hire for their exemplary service, which exceeded all expectations—even in the face of initially unfavourable assumptions.

Despite a less-than-ideal outgoing profile, which might have dissuaded a lesser company from engaging with the task at hand, the team at Mammoth Hire conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, discretion, and efficiency. They not only rose to the occasion, but did so with a level of competence and courtesy that merits the highest praise.

The task I required was executed with precision and punctuality, and their ability to deliver under such circumstances speaks volumes of their operational excellence and dedication to client satisfaction.

It is indeed rare in today’s commercial landscape to encounter a firm so committed to restoring confidence and providing solutions with such gracious resolve. I would not hesitate to recommend Mammoth Hire to the most discerning of clientele, and I shall certainly engage their services again in the future.

Most gratefully

No communication

Recieved email re hire confirmation
Day the equipment was due I rang for an ETA to be eventually told they didn’t actually have the equipment available!
Waste of time and no customer service
