Not every job has easy access to mains power. Whether you're working on a new-build site, in a garden with no outdoor sockets, or need backup power for an event, generator hire is a simple solution.
When do you need a generator?
Common reasons customers hire generators include:
- Powering tools on sites without a mains connection
- Backup power during planned or unplanned outages
- Running site lighting after dark, especially in winter months
- Powering equipment for outdoor events or garden projects
What size generator do I need?
This depends on what you're running and for how long. As a general guide:
- Small generators suit single power tools or basic lighting
- Larger generators can run multiple tools or heavier equipment simultaneously
If you're not sure what you need, tell us what you're powering and our team can recommend the right output.
Site lighting hire
Alongside generators, we also hire site lighting — useful for early starts, winter afternoons, or working in areas without good natural light.
Fuel and running costs
Generators typically run on petrol or diesel. Factor in fuel costs on top of the hire price, and always follow the guidance provided on safe refuelling and ventilation.
