Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 147 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people encountered significant problems with delivery, including items not arriving, being late, or orders being cancelled last minute due to lack of stock. Customers also struggled with customer service, finding it nearly impossible to contact anyone by phone or chat, leading to unaddressed issues. A major source of frustration was the difficulty in obtaining refunds, especially for deposits, with many waiting months without success. However, some customers also noted that the actual delivery and collection process, often handled by local contractors, was efficient and on time. A few people reported that the hiring process itself went smoothly and without issues.

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.

Unsuitable for diy hire

The initial hire was postponed by them on the morning of the original date. Delivery was very good and the tool worked well. The tool was supposed to be collected on the Monday but by Friday I still hadn’t heard from them. I tried contacting them from the phone number on the invoice but it was discontinued. The new number didn’t work properly with option3 not working at all. I used option 1 and waited. Eventually a voice told me of long delays and said I could request a callback but failed to tell me how to do this. I have nowhere safe to leave this (expensive) tool for collection so I have waited in all week. This firm is totally unsuitable for diy tool hire. Iphoned them today at 3pm- no one there!

Scaffold tower hire

I hired a scaffold tower for a Saturday delivery but realised I needed to amend the booking for Friday delivery. The initial online booking was easy but when trying to alter the booking it was extremely stressful, trying to get a call back, calling and being told by an automated message that there was a 5 hour wait to speak to someone. Eventually after managing to raise a ticket number I was contacted via email and all was sorted. The delivery was fine, the tower was good, and collection was fine. I would use again but make sure I have everything sorted to avoid changes.
