It is very convenient to book machinery in one place rather than ring around lots of suppliers. However, I am unlikely to use them again for two reasons: contacting National Tool Hire is a nightmare... Voir plus

Failed to deliver. Conflicting excuses. No accountability
Booked a hire for delivery Dec 29 and hired in a team to fit steel work. Order and delivery confirmed and then had a email over the weekend to say the hire company had “transport issues” and couldn’t deliver. Messaged with no reply and none of the “contact us” links worked. I finally found a phone number to call. No very helpful at all. Conflicting excuses. Dreadful attitude and no accountability. Would definitely not bother with them

Delivery and pick up was good but I am still to receive my deposit back after 5 weeks. I’ve emailed and messaged via their what’s app on the website but had no reply from anyone regarding my request for my deposit back. Very poor customer service and will never use this company again.

Shocking
Shocking, a rip off charging a £30 admin fee to amend a hire date and also charging a £29.40 non-refundable waiver that is not worth the paper it's written on; and £11 for their fuel. That's £71 in 'non-refundable charges' for a rotavator before we even add on hire charges!! Rogue Traders you should to investigate this bunch

Avoid avoid avoid
I ordered both a ladder and a tower and paid extra for delivery on a specific day in the morning. On the day of delivery, customer service did not respond to my messages at all, which was extremely poor service.
The delivery eventually arrived later in the day, well after midday, and the biggest issue was that the ladder was missing. As I needed both items to complete the job, I was unable to proceed and had to urgently hire the equipment the next day from a reliable company.
I would strongly advise avoiding this company.

National Tool Hire Cost Me Big Time
I ordered a floor sanding package over a month ago and booked delivery for Saturday the 20th through their system. A week before, they rang to say Saturday “wasn’t possible” and pushed it to Friday the 19th. I agreed **only** if it arrived before 1pm. They confirmed. Then they simply didn’t show up.
I waited from 6am until 8pm. No delivery. No call. No explanation. Customer service repeatedly promised updates and never called back. A few hours before closing, they stopped answering the phone altogether. My neighbour has a door camera — they never even attempted delivery.
To make matters worse, the company is closed over the weekend, meaning I likely won’t receive the equipment until next week. That wipes out my entire schedule, as I cannot sand floors from Christmas Eve through Boxing Day. Weeks of planning have been destroyed by one no-show delivery.
This incompetence has cost me time, money, and serious stress. I booked time off work, paid for alternative accommodation, and planned weeks of work around sanding and varnishing three rooms before my family returns from the school break. I also lost a full day needed for Christmas preparations.
I am trying to make this house safe for my husband to return home after a stroke, completing renovations he was forced to abandon. Their complete lack of reliability, communication, or basic decency has made an already difficult situation far worse.
No delivery. No accountability. No professionalism. This company cannot be trusted. Avoid at all costs.

Abysmal pick up and communication zero
Delivery OK. Equipment in good condition. Pick up abysmal. Due to be picked up 2 days ago but re scheduled by them for today. Driver rang today and said no can do. Refused to ask office to call me. Attempts to contact office result in total failure to get any reply. Still have to store equipment which is impeding public events.

Be warned!
Costs are high which I can accept as were able to supply promptly. However when it comes to collection they need a 5 day window to collect with no notice of the day let alone time of collection. As such this will require some one to be in for up to 5 full days . If you miss collection you will be charged both additional hire and collection fees. Offered to drop the tower back but would not tell me where I needed to return to until I agreed I would return by 5pm again leaving me open to additional costs if the location was a long way from my home. Please read the other reviews and think very carefully before hiring with this company.

dreadful customer service
Pretty dreadful customer service. I'm only giving 1 star because the equipment actually worked - though they used a 3rd party company so that wasn't their doing!
I had a number of mess ups at every stage dealing with these guys, but in short:
- took my money for a date then told me it wasn't available
- offered me another date, I confirmed, they failed to book it in for me
- 4 days after taking my money, a member of customer service asked if I 'wanted' them to find me another date - while holding onto nearly £500 of mine
- finally got it booked in for a week later than I wanted it and they attempted delivery on the wrong day
- I stayed in all day on my pick up day, nobody came, I rang up and asked when it was getting picked up and somebody on the phone told me that 'a member of the team had rescheduled my pick up date' (I wasn't informed).
- I said the new pick up date didn't work for me as I was in work, asked to rearrange, the person on the phone assured me that was fine
- they attempted to pick up on the date I said didn't work for me and I had to send the delivery driver away a SECOND time
Overall, terrible planning, poor communication, and when you do manage to get in contact (after making it past an AI agent that's practically impossible to get through), the people you speak to are generally unhelpful. In my experience, they went through CW plant hire - honestly, save yourself the hassle (and the fees!) and go direct to them. Their delivery driver was lovely and so understanding on both occasions I had to turn him away.

Very poor experience
Very poor experience. This company advertises tools that are not actually available. After I made a booking, they waited two days to call me and then told me they didn’t have availability for the dates I had already booked.
I had no choice but to cancel and urgently find another tool hire company at very short notice, which was extremely difficult and stressful. To make things worse, they delayed the refund for an unreasonably long time.
In the end, I had to open a case with PayPal just to get my money back. I would not recommend this company due to unreliable service and poor handling of refunds.

Pursuing a chargeback currently for service not as advertised.

Awful! Awful! Awful!
Awful! I wish we had read the reviews before we engaged with them! They are unreliable, unresponsive and far more expensive than other equivalent providers. Our mistake for not researching properly - we needed a dehumidifier urgently. Service failed, we ended up heiring elsewhere and not getting a refund - be aware that this is a money grabbing company. Totally unethical - don't go there!!

Failed to deliver a complete machine that I had hired, the delivery was therefore rejected but three weeks on national Tool Hire still have my money and are refusing to respond to emails. Terrible service. avoid national tool Hire service at all costs. At the end of the day they just subcontract to whatever Mickey Mouse operation is cheapest and that’s the root of the problem here.

Refusing to return £500 deposit
Refusing to return £500 deposit, even though the equipment was returned on time and confirmed in working order.
National tool hire, who I rented through, say that it's the fault of Travis Perkins, and until they get the deposit back from Travis Perkins, they can not return it to me.
Whoever's fault it is, sort it out!
It's £500 and Christmas is around the corner. I have bills to pay and gifts to buy!
Absolutely disgraceful!

Order ladders but they never turned up
Order ladders but they never turned up. Ruined the day as everything I had organised revolved around having a ladder. No response from online chat or phone. Wish I'd read the other reviews first as loads of people are saying the same thing.

AVOID this company, their customer service is SHOCKING! They do not even deserve their 2.5 rating
What website doesn't have a 'Contact Us' button.....................one that just doesn't want to speak to customers!
The 'support' e-mail I found via Google just bounces back& their AI 'Chat' facility is useless!
Lots of other hire companies out there who actually care about their customers
