Typical day rates start from around £280 + VAT for a 0.8T micro digger and CPCS operator in Bognor Regis and West Sussex. 3T digger + operator is usually £320–£360 + VAT per day, and a 6T dumper + driver is around £300 + VAT per day. Half-day rates and weekly discounts are available — we'll always confirm in writing before any work starts.
All rates are quoted exclusive of VAT. We'll always provide a clear written quote showing the net day rate, any mobilisation charge, estimated duration and the VAT total so there are no surprises.
Both. You can hire one of our CPCS/NPORS operators to run plant you've already got on site, or hire the digger, dumper and driver as a package. Most customers prefer the package because it removes plant-hire admin, insurance and breakdown risk.
For most domestic gardens, shed bases and patios in Bognor Regis a 0.8T micro digger is the right choice — it fits through a 1m side gate and won't tear up lawns thanks to rubber tracks. For driveways, soakaways and footings step up to a 3T. For bulk muck-shift or deep dig, go to a 5T or larger paired with a dumper.
For local Bognor Regis and West Sussex jobs we can usually mobilise within 2–5 working days. Emergency drainage and storm-damage jobs are prioritised — call 07308 999557 and we'll do our best to attend the same week.
Our minimum hire is a half day (4 hours) for local work. Most domestic jobs in Bognor Regis run 1–3 days. Commercial and civils projects typically book by the week — weekly rates include a discount over the day rate.
We supply plant with an operator only. Self-drive (dry) hire is not something we offer — this keeps insurance simple and protects your project from unticketed operation. If you need dry hire we're happy to recommend a trusted local plant-hire firm.
Yes. Every driver holds a current CPCS or NPORS ticket for the machine they operate, carries a CSCS card and works under our £5,000,000 public liability insurance. RAMS (risk assessment & method statement) are provided free for any commercial or site-based job.
All our plant is serviced before every job. In the unlikely event of a breakdown we carry common spares and can usually fix it on site. If not, we'll swap the machine within 24 hours at no extra cost to you.
We're based in Bognor Regis (PO21) and cover the whole of West Sussex including Chichester, Arundel, Littlehampton, Rustington, Worthing, Pulborough, Petworth, Midhurst and Selsey. We'll travel further for week-long+ projects — just ask.
Standard hours are Monday–Saturday, 07:00–17:00. Weekend and early-start work is possible by arrangement — rates are slightly higher for Sunday or bank holiday hires. We'll always confirm shift times in the quote.
Yes — we can arrange grab-lorries and tipper trucks to remove spoil, hardcore and green waste, all with proper waste-transfer documentation. Tipping is charged at cost plus a small handling fee.
Not necessarily — but it helps. Clear vehicles, garden furniture and loose obstacles from the work area. We'll handle access mats, protection boards and any necessary reinstatement. If overhead cables or buried utilities are a concern, tell us in advance and we'll plan around them.
