Hireload

Tool and equipment hire from a Greenford depot

Hireload is a London-focused hire business that supplies trade-grade tools and equipment to builders, refurbishment teams, cleaning companies, restoration contractors, landlords, property managers and households. The operation is based at a depot in Greenford (UB6), from which equipment is delivered across London. The company presents itself as a CHAS-verified supplier and states that it is rated 5.0 by customers.

The catalogue is organised around six main categories: access equipment, breaking and drilling, cleaning equipment, drying and heating, general site tools, and drone services. Hire periods range from single-day bookings to weekly and longer-term arrangements, and the company offers trade accounts with a stated 15% discount on every hire, subject to approval.

Access equipment and working at height

The access range covers scaffold towers, ladders and powered access. Scaffold towers are offered in several configurations: narrow towers for stairwells and hallways, standard 3T towers for room work, and twin-access and industrial towers for commercial spaces. The company advises choosing a tower by working height rather than platform height. A 3T scaffold tower is listed from £45.49 per day.

Breaking, drilling and general site tools

For demolition and strip-out work, Hireload hires SDS breakers, rotary hammers and core drills, with light-duty SDS models for tile and render, medium-duty units for slab work and heavy demolition breakers for thicker concrete. The general site tools category includes plate compactors, generators, transformers, site lighting and mixing and concrete equipment. A 400mm petrol plate compactor is listed from £29.99 per day.

Cleaning equipment for property and site work

The cleaning range includes rotary floor scrubbers and buffers, petrol pressure washers, carpet cleaners and wet/dry vacuum systems. A 2,450 PSI petrol pressure washer, suited to patios, driveways and decking where mains power is unavailable, is listed from £62.39 per day. A rotary floor scrubber and buffer for stripping, scrubbing, polishing and buffing hard floors is listed from £36.99 per day. The company also mentions surface-cleaner attachments for faster coverage on larger areas.

Drying and heating equipment

For water damage, post-leak drying and plaster drying, Hireload supplies industrial dehumidifiers, air movers and carpet dryers, and heaters. A 55L industrial dehumidifier is listed from £39.99 per day, and an air mover and carpet dryer from £15.49 per day. The company describes a standard single-room drying setup as a dehumidifier paired with air movers, typically planned around a three-to-five-day period depending on moisture, airflow and room conditions. For multi-room flood recovery and insurance-led drying programmes, it proposes two or more dehumidifiers with four or more air movers, with volume and longer-term rates quoted on request.

Drone services

Hireload offers drone-based services for roof, façade, gutter and solar inspections, as well as surveying and mapping. These jobs are quoted per site and planned around weather and access requirements. The company also lists drone cleaning among its services.

Delivery, collection and ordering

Orders can be placed online or through the hire desk. The company states that same-day and next-day delivery routes are available across London where scheduling allows, that delivery and collection are included in one price, and that every scheduled delivery includes live order tracking, with the driver calling 30 minutes before arrival. Free click-and-collect is available at the Greenford UB6 depot. Hireload also operates a job-based selection service: customers describe the task—such as drying a damp room, managing a leak, working at height, cleaning a patio or carrying out a shop refit—and the hire desk recommends suitable equipment without requiring model names.

Pre-scoped hire setups

The company publishes recommended starting setups rather than fixed bundles. These include a drying package of one dehumidifier and two air movers from £104.99 for one to five days, a restoration setup of two dehumidifiers and four air movers quoted per job, a cleaning turnaround setup combining a floor scrubber and wet/dry vac, and a refit setup combining access, breaking and cleaning equipment. Each setup is confirmed by the hire desk before delivery.

Trade accounts and customer base

Hireload states that it supports builders and refurbishment teams, painters and decorators, plasterers, cleaning companies, restoration and flood-drying specialists, landlords and property managers, property developers, facilities and maintenance teams, and commercial handover teams. Trade account enquiries are available subject to approval, and the company advertises 15% off every hire for account holders. The catalogue notes that day rates are shown for orientation and that live rates and availability appear on each product page.
