Tool Rental Service in Melksham, Wiltshire
Need professional tools or site equipment around Melksham? Coppard supplies equipment for building, maintenance, landscaping, estate and agricultural work from its Sells Green depot, including access, cutting, breaking, lifting, lighting and site-support categories. Hire for the required period, collect from the depot or arrange delivery where suitable.
The awkward part of tool hire is rarely finding something with the right name. It is making sure the equipment suits the material, access, available power and pace of the job. Give the Melksham team those details before booking so the hire choice can be narrowed around the work and site conditions.
Match the Hire to the Work You Need to Complete
A short description of the job is often more useful than a product code. Breaking a slab, drilling reinforced concrete, finishing a floor, clearing vegetation and working at height all create different demands. Even within one category, the sensible hire can change with material thickness, working position, site access or whether mains power is available.
Wiltshire jobs also span very different settings: house alterations, farms, estates, highways, workshops and larger construction sites. A compact tool that is ideal inside a property may be inefficient in an open yard, while equipment chosen for a rural site may need a completely different power or transport arrangement.
One Hire Range for Construction, Grounds and Site Support
The Melksham range covers core trade equipment such as breakers, drills, saws, grinders, mixers and woodworking tools, together with scaffold towers, ladders, temporary lighting and electrical site accessories. Concrete preparation and finishing equipment can support slab, floor and refurbishment work, while pressure washers, heaters, fans and dehumidifiers cover cleaning, drying and seasonal jobs.
Landscaping and estate work is supported by chippers and stump grinders, while lifting accessories, load-moving equipment, levels, utility locators, fencing, protection and temporary welfare or office equipment help complete the wider site setup. This makes it easier to build a useful package instead of treating every requirement as a separate supplier search.
Collect at Sells Green or Arrange Delivery Across Wiltshire
Coppard’s Melksham depot is at Bath Road, Sells Green. For smaller items, collection can be the fastest route when the job changes at short notice. Larger or multi-item orders can be delivered where transport is available, particularly when tools are being booked alongside plant or other site equipment.
The depot supports projects across Melksham and the wider Wiltshire area. When delivery matters, provide the site postcode and access details at the point of enquiry so the transport requirement can be considered with the equipment itself rather than being treated as a separate decision later.
A Practical Local Hire Option, Not Just a Catalogue
The value of a local hire depot is the ability to discuss the job before equipment leaves the yard. Coppard maintains and checks hire equipment, and the Melksham team can help distinguish between options where capacity, power source, working height, cutting depth or access could change the choice.
Hire periods vary across the range, with day, week and longer arrangements available on many items subject to stock. Contractors and other regular users can also enquire about trade accounts. If the same project needs larger machinery as well as tools, the wider hire requirement can stay connected to the Melksham operation.

Tool Hire
Hire day-to-day trade tools and supporting site kit from Melksham for building, maintenance, landscaping and estate work. Bring in what the current phase needs, then return it rather than carrying the ownership cost year-round.
Scaffold Tower Hire
Mobile scaffold towers suit decorating, repair and installation work where a stable elevated platform is needed. Tell the Melksham team the working height, available footprint and whether the tower will be used inside or outdoors.
Ladder Hire
Choose from step, extension, combination, platform and roof ladders for short-duration access tasks. The right ladder depends on the job, usable length and setup area, not simply the highest reach available.
Concrete Mixer Hire
Mixers can be supplied for footings, slabs, render and general building work, with electric or petrol options for different site setups. Match drum capacity to the volume you expect to produce rather than over-hiring.
Concrete Preparation Equipment Hire
Prepare existing slabs and floor surfaces with scarifying, grinding, scabbling, blasting and dust-control equipment. Selection should follow the coating or screed system being installed and the condition of the concrete underneath.
Concrete Finishing Equipment Hire
Power floats, trowels and screeding equipment help bring fresh concrete to the required level and finish. Slab size, edge detail and access around the pour all influence which finishing tools are worth taking.
Breaker Hire
For hard concrete, masonry, tarmac or ground, choose a breaker with enough impact for the material without making handling unnecessarily difficult. Melksham can supply handheld and heavier-duty options for different demolition tasks.
Electric Breaker Hire
Electric breakers are useful for opening-up and demolition work where engine exhaust would be undesirable. Confirm voltage, available supply and the amount of breaking involved before deciding between a compact and heavier machine.
Independent Breaker Hire
Self-contained breakers remove the need for a separate compressor or excavator attachment on smaller jobs. They suit alterations, repair work and restricted areas where bringing in a larger breaking setup would be excessive.
Lighting Hire
Keep internal and external work areas usable after daylight fades with portable LED, tripod, festoon and rechargeable lighting. Coverage, cable route and power availability should be planned around the actual work zone.
Lighting Tower Hire
For compounds, yards, road work and larger outdoor areas, a lighting tower provides broader coverage than individual task lights. Ask about diesel and battery-electric options when runtime, noise or location affects the choice.
Transformer Hire
Site transformers and distribution equipment provide the correct supply for temporary tools and installations. Work out the connected load and voltage requirement before booking so the power setup is not undersized.
Extension Lead Hire
Heavy-duty leads, reels and distribution accessories help take temporary power to where the work is happening. Choose cable length and outlet quantity around the equipment being run and the route across the site.
Chipper Hire
Turn branches, hedge cuttings and woody clearance into manageable chip with a machine sized to the material. Feed aperture, branch diameter and total volume are the useful details to give the Melksham depot.
Stump Grinder Hire
Compact grinders can reach many garden and estate stumps, while larger machines suit heavier clearance. Measure the access route as well as the stump; a powerful machine is no use if it cannot reach the work area.
Block and Tackle Hire
Manual chain blocks, lever hoists and pulley gear provide controlled lifting or pulling where powered machinery is unnecessary. Capacity, anchorage and the direction of travel all need to suit the planned operation.
Winch Hire
Manual, electric and hydraulic winches can be used for pulling, positioning and tensioning loads. Specify load weight, travel distance and how the winch will be mounted so the depot can narrow the choice.
Load Mover Hire
Machinery skates, powered movers and dollies help reposition heavy equipment across suitable hard floors. Route width, turning space, surface quality and load distribution should be checked before the move starts.
Lifting Chain and Strop Hire
Chains, webbing slings, round slings, wire-rope slings and shackles are available for planned lifting work. Pick the configuration around load shape, connection points and rated capacity rather than treating every lift alike.
Kelly Concrete Block Hire
Interlocking concrete blocks provide a quick way to create bays, separation, temporary retaining lines or security barriers. Their modular format lets a site layout be adjusted as storage and access requirements change.
Drill Hire
Hire SDS hammers, core drills, magnetic drills and other drilling equipment for concrete, masonry, metal, timber and stone. Hole diameter, depth and substrate are the key facts to establish first.
Saw Hire
Cut timber, steel, block, concrete, stone or road surfaces with the saw type suited to the material and depth. Blade choice matters just as much as the machine, so describe the cut before collecting.
Grinder Hire
Handheld and floor-grinding options can tackle cutting, smoothing, surface reduction and preparation work. Match disc or diamond tooling to the surface and finish required instead of relying on grinder size alone.
Welder Hire
MIG, TIG, MMA and multi-process sets cover repair, fabrication and site metalwork. The sensible unit depends on material thickness, welding process, power supply and how heavily the set will be used.
Woodworking Tool Hire
Bring specialist carpentry and joinery equipment onto site only when the stage of work needs it. Routers, planers, saws, sanders and other woodworking tools can support fitting, preparation and timber finishing.
Laser Level Hire
Rotary and cross-line lasers make setting datums, falls, gradients and square lines quicker across building and groundwork tasks. Indoor range, outdoor receiver use and required accuracy should guide the selection.
Site Level Hire
Dumpy and automatic optical levels provide a straightforward way to check heights and set out drainage or construction levels. Tripod and staff can be supplied as part of the setup where required.
Pressure Washer Hire
Clean plant, paving, vehicles, facades and site surfaces with electric or petrol pressure washers. Water temperature, flow and pressure should be appropriate to the contamination without damaging the surface underneath.
Heating Equipment Hire
Temporary heaters can support cold-weather work, drying and occupied site spaces. Electric, radiant, propane and indirect diesel options suit different situations, with ventilation and fuel arrangements considered before use.
Dehumidifier Hire
Reduce moisture after leaks, plastering, screeding or other wet processes with industrial drying equipment. Room temperature, volume and moisture load help determine whether refrigerant or desiccant technology is more effective.
Fan Hire
Air movers and extraction or ventilation fans can accelerate drying, improve circulation or remove stale air from a work area. Decide whether the aim is movement, extraction or fresh-air supply before choosing a unit.
Vacuum Cleaner Hire
Wet-and-dry industrial vacuums support dust, slurry and post-work clean-up across building and maintenance jobs. Filtration, drum size and the type of waste being collected should shape the machine choice.
Safety Equipment Hire
Selected fall-protection, anchorage and confined-space equipment is available for planned higher-risk work. The system has to fit the safe method of work and be used by people with the necessary competence.
Gas Detector Hire
Portable single- and multi-gas monitors can check atmospheres in excavations, tanks and confined areas. Sensor configuration and calibration must correspond to the hazards identified in the task assessment.
Monitor / Detector / Locator Hire
Use CAT and Genny equipment, utility locators and selected site-monitoring instruments to investigate buried services or measure dust, noise and vibration. Choose the instrument around the question the survey needs to answer.
Security Fencing Hire
Temporary mesh fencing, pedestrian barriers and gate sections can secure compounds and separate work from public areas. Plan access points and panel layout around the real pedestrian and vehicle movements on site.
Site Protection Hire
Road plates, trench covers, ground mats and surface-protection products help preserve existing routes and finishes while work proceeds. Expected loading, span, ground type and traffic determine the right protection method.
Road Signs Hire
Temporary signs, cones, lamps and barriers support planned traffic and pedestrian management around works. The setup must follow the site-specific traffic arrangement rather than being treated as a standard bundle.
Office Equipment Hire
Create a temporary project base with cabins, storage, welfare, toilets, drying rooms, canteens and office furniture. Combine units around team size, project duration and the facilities genuinely needed on site.
Frequently Asked Questions - Tool Rental Service in Melksham
How do I know whether to collect or have tools delivered?
For one or two compact items, collection from the Melksham depot may be practical. Delivery can make more sense for heavier equipment, several items or tools being hired alongside plant. Call 01380 828988 with the postcode and requirement so the team can discuss the suitable option.
How early should I check availability for a Melksham job?
Check as soon as the requirement is known. Availability varies by item and existing bookings, so calling 01380 828988 before travelling reduces the risk of a wasted journey and gives the depot time to discuss collection or delivery if that is the better option.
What should I tell the depot if I do not know the exact tool?
Explain the material, the work you need to complete, the access available, the power supply and any restrictions such as indoor use or limited space. Those details help the depot narrow the equipment type instead of relying on a product name alone.
Who is responsible for using hired work equipment safely?
Hiring equipment does not remove the user’s responsibilities. Businesses and employers still need to ensure work equipment is suitable and used by people with appropriate information, instruction and competence. The HSE’s PUWER overview explains the duties that apply to work equipment used at work.
Can tool hire be added to a larger plant order?
Yes. If you are already hiring plant from Melksham, tell the depot about the smaller tools and site equipment at the same time. Where practical, coordinating the requirement can reduce separate collections and simplify site logistics.
Do you hire equipment for cleaning, drying and site support as well as construction?
Yes. The supplied range includes pressure washers, dehumidifiers, heaters, fans and industrial vacuum equipment alongside more conventional power tools, access, lifting and detection categories. These services can support refurbishment, maintenance, water-damage response, cleaning and wider site setup.
What local area does the Melksham depot support?
The depot supports Melksham and the wider Wiltshire area, with collection from the Sells Green depot. For a specific site, provide the postcode when you call 01380 828988 so the team can discuss whether collection or delivery is the practical option for the order.
Are longer hire periods available for ongoing projects?
Yes. Many items can be hired beyond a single day, with weekly and longer arrangements available subject to the equipment and availability. Tell the depot the expected programme so the hire period can be discussed around the work rather than repeatedly extending short bookings.
Plan the Tool Hire Before Work Starts
Avoid a wasted journey or lost working time because a tool does not suit the task. Call Coppard Melksham on 01380 828988 and organise the equipment around the job and site.
