Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again

Why hire these trestles rather than buy
For most one-off projects or occasional site work, hiring Size 3 builders trestles is far more cost-effective than buying. You avoid storage, maintenance and replacement costs and get access to trade-grade equipment when you need it. If you need differing heights or multiple sets for the same job, hiring gives you flexibility without the capital outlay. Order a set with delivery to your site within our 20-mile service area around Attleborough and Wymondham, or collect them yourself — we offer free collection for customers who prefer to pick up.
If you need a different setup for narrow access or lightweight work, take a look at our other options such as Size 3 Builders Trestles for full specification and availability.
Operator and safety notes
- Always use scaffold boards of the correct grade and length; support/use trestles every 1.2m as recommended
- Inspect trestles and boards for damage before use and replace any defective parts
- Do not exceed the rated load — distribute materials evenly across the platform
- Use toe-boards and edge protection where there is a fall risk or when working at height
- Keep feet and braces clear of pinch points when adjusting height
