When you're managing a busy site, every decision counts, including how you source your machinery. While owning equipment may seem like the obvious choice, hiring construction equipment offers a smarter, more flexible solution. At CES Hire, we've supported contractors across the UK for over 40 years, and we've seen first-hand the many advantages of hire over ownership.
1. 💸 Lower Upfront Costs = Stronger Cash Flow
Buying a new plastering machine or screed pump outright can be a major investment. Hiring removes that hefty initial spend and spreads costs more to make them more manageable which is perfect for small businesses and medium-sized contractors watching their cash flow.
-
No deposit or large capital outlay.
-
Only pay for what you use.
-
Easy budgeting for short- or long-term projects.
2. 🛠️ Access the Latest Machines Without the Price Tag
Hiring means you’re not stuck with outdated models. With CES Hire, you get access to top-tier, regularly maintained equipment, from diesel render machines to electric plastering tools, without the need to buy new every few years, such as our ever popular Euromair MixPro 28 plastering and rendering machine or our Baron Forced Action Mixers.
-
Stay current with evolving industry standards.
-
Improve performance with high-spec features.
-
Reduce downtime with reliable machines.
3. ⚙️ Hassle-Free Maintenance and Servicing
When you hire machinery, servicing is taken care of. If a problem arises, we sort it — quickly and professionally — so you stay on track.
-
Minimise project disruption.
-
No unexpected repair bills.
-
Support from experienced technicians.
4. 🔁 Flexibility to Match Project Needs
Need a screed pump for one job and a compressor the next? Hiring gives you the flexibility to switch up your tools depending on project requirements.
-
Scale your equipment up or down.
-
Hire for days, weeks, or months.
-
Avoid unused equipment sitting idle.
5. ♻️ Eco-Efficiency and Space Saving
Owning machines means finding space to store them, and managing end-of-life disposal. Hiring removes this burden and reduces environmental waste.
-
No storage headaches.
-
No depreciation to worry about.
-
More sustainable approach to construction.
