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
- Always perform a site sweep before any excavation and follow local utility records where available.
- Operators must be trained in cable avoidance procedures and familiar with the kit’s modes — the Genny4 should be used to create a known signal when possible.
- Keep the receiver vertical and use a slow search pace for accurate depth and position readings.
- Never rely solely on one detection method — combine signal locate with safe digging practices and hand-digging around suspected services.
