Updated August 2026

Roofing is weight and mess: tiles, felt, battens, a stack of ladders and a fair bit of waste to take away. A tipper or a sturdy van earns its keep. Short-term hire gets you the right vehicle for the job.

Weight up, waste away

Tiles and slate are heavy, and stripping a roof makes waste. A tipper makes muck-away easy, while a strong van carries materials and ladders. We match you to a partner who can supply either.

Hire around the weather and the job

Roofing runs job to job. Take a vehicle for the contract and hand it back after, instead of financing one that waits for the next roof.

All credit welcome

Newer roofing firms and those who have had a rough patch can still get the right vehicle. Affordability now is what counts.

Any model in mind? (optional)

Can you get any make or model?

Listings show what we can look to source, not live stock. As an introducer we can’t guarantee a particular make, model, specification, term or start date will be available when you apply, and some vehicles are pre-order or reservation only. Nothing is reserved for you until a partner confirms it. If we can’t get the exact vehicle you’ve asked for, we’ll say so and find you the closest alternative we can.
