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
Product overview
Our heavy-duty Manual Tile Cutters give clean, straight cuts in ceramic, porcelain and most vitrified tiles — ideal for indoor tiling, patios and trimming tiles on-site. Robust build, quick setup and easy scoring make these cutters a dependable choice for tradespeople and self-builders hiring from our Attleborough depot.
What it is and what it does
Manual tile cutters are mechanical, wheel-scoring tools that allow a single operator to score and snap tiles accurately without power. They’re perfect for straight cuts, offcuts and repeat cuts where the tile thickness falls within the cutter’s capacity. If you need consistent straight edges quickly on site, these are the tool for the job.
Jobs it’s suited for
- Floor and wall tiling in bathrooms, kitchens and hallways
- External paving and patio tiles where straight cuts are required
- Site adjustments and on-the-fly cutting for repairs and patching
Key features & specifications
- Capacity: typically handles tiles up to 12–14mm thick (check model on collection)
- Long, straight guide rail for accurate repeat cuts
- Replaceable scoring wheel for clean scoring and long life
- Solid base with measuring guide and adjustable fences for consistent results
- Low maintenance — no power required, easy to transport
Why hire from Breckland Plant Hire?
For most short-term projects it makes more sense to hire than buy. Hiring Manual Tile Cutters from our Attleborough depot gets you professional kit without storage or maintenance costs, and you avoid depreciation. We offer delivery within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham or free collection if you prefer to pick up. As CPA members we support trade accounts with exclusive discounts for regular hire customers.
Operator & safety notes
- Always wear eye protection and work gloves when scoring and snapping tiles.
- Securely support large tiles to prevent breakage; use a straight edge for guidance on tricky pieces.
- Inspect the scoring wheel before use — a worn wheel gives poor scores and jagged breaks.
- These cutters are for straight cuts and small mitres only; for curved or intricate cuts use a wet saw or handheld cutter.
