Works Above a Fragile Roof
If you are looking to conduct works at height in one or several locations, the safe, easy to use, and cheap method is Height For Hires HighDrive scheme ! I used it for a number of jobs that needed doing in a place above a fragile roof (approx 6M in from edge) and the machine was perfect to get people to the location !

Great bit of kit
I needed a van mounted lift for a job to paint gable ends of a property and came across Height For Hire. I talked to Emma G who managed the whole booking. Very smooth process for collection and returning the vehicle.
I had the Multitel HX200 and it was great. Very versatile piece of kit. I had a few user issue problems on the day, but a quick call sorted it out in minutes.
Will certainly use Height For Hire in the future.
Very happy to recommend and many thanks to Emma G.

Great product just expensive
Great service and met by someone who explained all of the controls and what to do and what not to do. The only drawback is it is rather pricey.

EASY HEIGHT FOR HIRE PICK UP AND DROP OFF
Needed to reach gutters on commercial building 5M plus height, saw this machine parked up in B&Q Height for Hire so hired it for the weekend Friday to Monday which meant it was quiet as not work day. Pick up was easy shown how to use the machine, only issue for me no fuel and rear was damaged, so I reported this immediately via email with photos to cover myself. Ian in customer service was great would definitely hire again when needed. Mine was 74 plate almost new machine so was pleasure to use no issues.
