About wet hire

You tell us what needs digging and we get on with it.

Wet hire suits anyone who needs a job dug without running the machine themselves: house sites, drainage, fence lines, retaining wall excavation and clearing.

Because the operator knows the machine, work tends to move faster and with less risk to services, fences and trees. Tell us what the site is like and we will say which size of machine fits.

From the job

Real jobs, real photos.

Before you start

Machine size

Small machines get into tight spots, larger machines move more soil. Tell us about access and the job so we can pick the right one.

Underground services

Ring before you dig and tell us what you know about pipes and cables on the site.

Where the soil goes

Plan where spoil will be stored or taken away. Earth moving can take it offsite.

Wet hire is an excavator hired with an operator. Dry hire is the machine alone.
