Based in Somerset, this business offers a wide range of top-brand equipment alongside specialist services such as diamond drilling and cutting. With loyal repeat clients, modern assets, and a fully operational delivery fleet, this turnkey business is ideal for expansion or bolt-on acquisition. Freehold or leasehold option available.
The business represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly regarded and fully operational tool and equipment hire business, known for delivering exceptional service and high-quality equipment to customers across the UK. The business has developed a strong reputation for professionalism, reliability, and responsiveness, supported by an extensive network of trusted suppliers and a loyal, diverse client base. Operating from a convenient location in Somerset, the company offers a wide range of hire equipment, alongside specialist services such as diamond drilling, core drilling, cutting, and chasing. With flexible rental packages, nationwide logistics, and a dedication to customer satisfaction, the business is ideally positioned for continued growth or integration into a larger operation.
The business offers a comprehensive equipment rental service to both domestic and commercial clients. The business has built its reputation by consistently supplying top-brand tools and machinery at competitive prices, paired with expert support and customer care. Services include short-term and long-term equipment hire, as well as nationwide delivery and collection. The team also offers assembly and dismantling on-site, ensuring customers receive practical, end-to-end service. In addition to general equipment rental, the business provides a suite of specialist services such as diamond drilling, core drilling, cutting, and chasing, making it a one-stop solution for both planned construction projects and urgent on-site needs. Customers benefit from the company’s hassle-free policy—faulty items are replaced immediately with no questions asked, reinforcing trust and reducing downtime on projects.
One of the core strengths of the business is its ability to maintain a wide selection of modern, high-performance equipment ready for dispatch at any time. By working closely with a network of reliable partners and suppliers, the business has continuous access to the latest models and cutting-edge tools. The company’s experienced, customer-oriented staff are another major asset. The team is well-trained, approachable, and known for offering practical advice and tailored solutions based on the client's specific needs and budget. Communication is efficient, with free estimates offered by phone, email, or online order form, ensuring a fast and streamlined booking process. With a commitment to service excellence and the ability to support customers from project planning to completion, the business stands apart from many competitors in the sector.
The business serves a broad range of customers, from DIY enthusiasts and homeowners to professional builders, event organisers, and national construction firms. This diverse client base ensures a stable flow of repeat business and offers resilience across varying market conditions. A large portion of the business stems from word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers who trust the company’s equipment quality and service responsiveness. Additionally, the business maintains strong working relationships with commercial clients who rely on long-term or recurring hire agreements, further underpinning predictable revenues.
There is significant scope to grow and expand the business. An acquirer could open new locations under the established brand, or franchise the model to other regions. A more sophisticated online booking platform would enable greater automation and customer convenience, opening the door to increased online traffic and engagement. The company could also broaden its inventory to include larger plant or powered access equipment, attracting new segments within the construction and infrastructure industries. In addition, increasing investment in digital marketing, particularly via paid ads and SEO, would likely boost visibility and sales enquiries. There is also the opportunity to pursue larger-scale corporate contracts or framework agreements, offering volume-based hire solutions to major contractors and event companies nationwide.
The business operates from a well-located unit in Somerset, with easy access to the surrounding counties and transport links across the UK. The premises are used to store and maintain the hire inventory and facilitate equipment preparation for dispatch. The company owns a significant range of tools and machines, maintained in excellent working order. These assets include core drilling rigs, cutting equipment, portable machinery, and accessories from leading brands. The business also owns or leases vehicles used for its delivery and collection service, enabling rapid response times and flexible scheduling for customers.
The business is being offered for sale as the current owner is looking to step away in order to pursue other ventures. This decision is not related to the performance or viability of the business, which remains strong and profitable. The seller is committed to ensuring a smooth and professional handover and is willing to provide transition support to help the new owner retain key staff, clients, and operational continuity.
The business is a trusted and reputable business with a well-earned reputation for quality, flexibility, and professional service. With its comprehensive offering of equipment hire and specialist drilling services, modern and well-maintained assets, and a growing customer base, the company is primed for further expansion. Whether as a bolt-on to an existing hire business or as a stand-alone opportunity for an entrepreneur or investor, this business provides an excellent foundation with strong brand equity and immediate income. A new owner can capitalise on its established strengths and seize the many opportunities for growth in this high-demand sector.
