A plate compactor handles a driveway, but a roller handles a car park, a road surface or a deep sub-base layer — and poor compaction under tarmac or sub-base comes back to haunt you months later. Getting the right roller, pedestrian or ride-on, single or twin drum, makes the difference between a finish that holds and one that does not. Coppard supplies compaction rollers for driveways, roads and large sites across Brighton, Worthing and Chichester, from our Southwick depot, with same or next day delivery. If you are searching for roller hire near me in Brighton, call 01273 596 979.
What Roller Do You Need?
Single drum rollers compact granular fills, sub-base and hardcore. They suit foundation layers, car park bases and utility trench reinstatement. Twin drum rollers compact tarmac and asphalt — the smooth drums roll the surface without marking it.
Pedestrian rollers are walk-behind machines for smaller areas — driveways, footpaths, patch repairs. Ride-on rollers cover larger surfaces faster — car parks, estate roads, commercial hardstandings. If your site is on clay-with-flints above Hove and Patcham, the roller handles the top layers while a rammer deals with the clay backfill below. Call 01273 596 979 and describe your job.
Roller Hire Range
On estate roads and commercial car parks across Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Worthing, a ride-on roller compacts the sub-base layers before tarmac goes down. The best finish on tarmac comes from a twin drum roller used within the right temperature window — the asphalt needs to be hot enough to compact but cool enough to hold shape.
The Southwick depot stocks pedestrian rollers for domestic and small commercial work and ride-on rollers for highway, commercial and civil projects. Single drum vibratory rollers compact granular fills. Twin drum rollers finish tarmac and asphalt surfaces.
Drum widths range from narrow for confined areas to full-width for open surfaces. If your project needs both compaction and finishing — sub-base then tarmac — we can supply both roller types from the same depot.
Full specifications for the complete roller range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roller Hire
When should I use a roller instead of a plate compactor?
A roller covers larger areas faster and delivers higher compaction force. Use a roller for car parks, road surfaces, deep sub-base layers and tarmac. Use a plate for driveways, patios and small reinstatement work.
What is the difference between a single drum and twin drum roller?
Single drum rollers compact granular fills and sub-base. Twin drum rollers compact and finish tarmac and asphalt. If your job involves both, we can supply both types.
Do you provide roller operators?
Yes. CPCS-certified operators available for ride-on rollers. Call 01273 596 979 to add an operator when you book.
