Trench Prop Hire in Brighton, West Sussex
Need trench prop hire in Brighton? Coppard supplies No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 trench props from our Southwick depot for specified excavation-support systems across Brighton and West Sussex. Call 01273 596 979 with the required prop sizes, quantities and sheeting arrangement and the team can confirm current availability.
Trench props are components of an excavation-support system rather than standalone answers to trench depth. Their size, spacing and relationship with sheets or other support should be set by the temporary-works arrangement for the excavation.
The current Coppard site-excavation catalogue lists No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 trench props together with steel trench sheets, allowing specified support components to be ordered from the same Brighton depot.
What the Brighton Team Needs from the Support Specification
Ground conditions, groundwater, edge loads, nearby services and adjacent structures matter because they affect the support design, but the landing page should not turn those factors into a do-it-yourself spacing calculation.
Once the requirement is specified, call 01273 596 979 and the Brighton depot can check the matching props and sheets.
No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Trench Props
Coppard’s current site-excavation catalogue lists three trench prop sizes: No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Each is currently shown at £3 per week, subject to the site’s normal VAT, account and hire terms.
Steel trench sheets are listed in the same category, so where a designed system requires both components they can be arranged together.

Trench Prop Hire for Brighton Groundworks
Arrange Props and Sheets as One Hire Package
For hire planning, confirm the prop size, number of units, trench-sheet requirement and dates. That allows Southwick to allocate the complete order and avoid a situation where one component is available but the matching quantity of another has not been reserved.
Customer collection may suit smaller quantities where the vehicle is appropriate. For larger sheet-and-prop orders, combined delivery will often be easier to manage.

Why Source Trench Props from Coppard?
The advantage of hiring trench props through Coppard is coordination: props, trench sheets and the wider plant needed for groundworks can be sourced through the Brighton operation.
That keeps the equipment side of the project together while leaving the engineering decisions – support type, spacing, sequence and inspection requirements – with the competent people responsible for the temporary works.
Call 01273 596 979 with the specified prop sizes and quantities to check stock.

Frequently Asked Questions - Trench Prop Hire in Brighton
Props and sheets together?
They are often specified together as components of an excavation-support system, but the exact arrangement depends on the temporary-works design. Coppard’s current site-excavation range includes No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 trench props together with steel trench sheets, so both can be supplied where the design requires them.
How deep before support?
There is no universal trench depth at which support suddenly becomes necessary. The need for support depends on the ground, groundwater, trench geometry, nearby structures, services and loads at the excavation edge as well as depth. The support requirement should be decided before excavation work begins rather than relying on a fixed 1.2 metre rule.
Can I collect?
Yes, collection may be possible for suitable quantities and a suitable vehicle. Call 01273 596 979 before travelling so the Brighton team can confirm the size and number of props, any trench sheets in the same order and the appropriate collection arrangement. Delivery is also available subject to transport capacity.
What information do I need before hiring trench props?
You should have the trench dimensions and the specified support arrangement, including prop sizes or extension requirements, quantities and the sheeting or shoring system they work with. HSE guidance on excavations explains that temporary support requirements should be decided before digging and that ground conditions, services, nearby structures and water all need to be considered in excavation planning. Once the support system has been specified by the competent person responsible for the work, Coppard’s Brighton team can supply the requested trench props and sheets.
