Operated hire

Why hire with an operator

Operated hire takes the digging off your plate entirely. It's the easy choice when you'd rather not run heavy machinery yourself — or you want the job done quickly and properly. Because the operator handles everything, you skip the licence, the learning curve and the trailer.

No licence or experience needed

You don't operate the machine — our experienced, insured operator does. No CPCS card, no training, no worrying about getting it right.

No transport or trailer hassle

We deliver the digger, the driver turns up and we collect it when the job's done. You don't lift a finger or hitch a trailer.

The job done faster, done properly

A skilled operator works far quicker and cleaner than a first-timer — less wasted time, fewer mistakes and a tidy finish.

Fully insured operator

Our drivers are experienced and insured, so you can step back and let the work get done safely on your site or in your garden.

What's included

One clear price covers everything you need to get the job done. As a result, there are no surprise extras when the invoice lands.

  • The mini digger

    The right-size machine for your job — micro, mini or midi (0.8–8 tonne) to suit access and dig depth. We match the digger to your access and ground before it leaves the yard.

  • An experienced operator

    A skilled, insured driver who runs the machine and does the digging for you. As a result, you get a faster, tidier finish without touching the controls.

  • Delivery & collection

    We bring the machine to your home or site and take it away again — included in your quote. Delivery is arranged nationwide on a day that suits you.

Jobs we'll do for you

From garden projects to groundwork, our operators tackle the digging so you don't have to. For example, here are a few of the jobs we regularly cover with a man and mini digger:

Footings & foundations

Trenches for extensions, garden rooms and outbuildings, dug to the depth you need. Our operator keeps the lines straight and the spoil tidy as work goes on.

Ponds & water features

Excavating ponds and reshaping ground — quick, clean and to your design. We can grade the banks and contours exactly the way you want them.

Drainage & soakaways

Digging drainage runs, soakaways and service trenches across the UK. For example, we cut clean trenches to the right fall for pipework and connections.

Driveways

Digging out and grading ready for a new driveway or hardstanding base. The ground is left level and compacted so your sub-base goes down right.

Garden clearance

Clearing overgrown plots, levelling ground and shifting spoil fast. In particular, a mini digger handles in hours what would take days by hand.

Stump & tree-root removal

Grubbing out stubborn stumps and root systems that are hard work by hand. The machine pulls out roots whole, leaving the ground clear and ready to reuse.

How much is mini digger hire with a driver?

Can I book a half day instead of a full day?
