Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again

Operator & safety notes
- Only trained operators should run the saw — ensure familiarity with blade fitting and coolant/water systems where fitted.
- Use correct PPE: eye protection, hearing protection, gloves and steel-toe boots as a minimum.
- Where possible use water suppression to control dust and cool the blade; for dry cutting use an appropriate vacuum dust-extraction system and RPE.
- Inspect the blade and machine before use, secure the work area, and follow all site safety rules.
