HSS Hire

Similar to Jack, I ended up at HSS for a floor sander. My landlord at the time footed the bill and the invoice was sent to him, but I would assume that prices would be similar to those mentioned below.
You can tell that the staff are used to dealing with those in the trade and you get a builder’s vibe from the shop. They have pretty much anything you may need power tools and equipment wise. They also will rent gear for heating patio’s and such, should you be putting on a party in your garden.
Everything is quality equipment and my sanding went fine (I’m not the most pro-​active DIY buff). If you were wanting to cut a few corners of a repair/​renovation bill then you should give them a call, as I am sure they have a lot of equipment not on the shop floor. You would certainly save some pennies on your project. Incidentally, you can get insurance against any breakage of equipment which is probably a good thing to take out.

HSS is a shop where you can hire all you need for a good days DIYing. This place isn’t for the light hearted DIYers though, this is for those DIYers who like to get down and dirty with their houses, using some shiny power tools to meat out some real DIY punishment.
I have used HSS a number of times, hiring out floor sanders, which for a 240v sander, will set you back £37.00 for a day and £74.00 for the week. I had no problem using the floor sander and after briefly looking at the safety instruction and user manual I was well away, getting into the floor sanding job with some verve I must say. Other products available for hire include carpet cleaners, power diggers, patio heaters, pump dehumidifiers and all sorts of other tools and equipment.
Good, simple service, which could help to save you loads on professional services.
