I have used Macavis many many times, great prices and helpful staff. Brilliant place to hire plant from and a great muckaway service. A well stocked shop selling tools and pretty much everything you need to complete your building project successfully. If you have a building project on give them a call and see what the team can do for you.

Fantastic team and service. We’ve used the firm for over 6 years now and on numerous projects at home including a new driveway, garage conversion to playroom and office, removal of conservatory and rear… extension, and complete garden renovation. The team are reliable and friendly. They work hard to achieve target deadlines and also very reasonable on price.
We’d highly recommend them for all building and plant hire needs.
