All prices quoted in this book are exclusive of VAT. Rates for Plant and Tool Hire are based on a 5- day working week. Rates for all Non-Mechanical Plant are based on a 7-day working week. After the first week, rates then revert to 1/5 or 1/7 of the weekly rate for each day as appropriate. We also have a standard weekend hire rate. All periods are chargeable, including Bank Holidays. Some equipment may be subject to minimum hire periods. We reserve the right to change rates, without notice.
