Roller Hire in Godstone, Surrey
Need roller hire in Godstone? Coppard supplies pedestrian, ride-on, trench, combination and pneumatic-tyred rollers from our Godstone depot for roads, driveways, sub-bases and groundworks across Surrey. Call 01883 743 322 and tell us what you are compacting and we’ll help identify the right roller.
Coppard’s Godstone depot stocks pedestrian and ride-on rollers in several drum widths and configurations, together with trench and pneumatic-tyred machines for more specialised compaction work.
Rollers Available to Hire
Our Godstone roller fleet covers compaction work from paths, driveways and trench reinstatement through to roads, car parks and larger commercial surfaces.
Pedestrian rollers provide a compact option for smaller areas and sites where access is limited. Coppard’s current range includes single and twin-drum pedestrian models, while ride-on twin-drum rollers are available in several working widths for larger areas of sub-base and surfacing.
The fleet also includes the Wacker Neuson RTSC3 trench roller for confined excavation and backfill work, a Hamm combination roller with vibrating drum and tyres, and a pneumatic-tyred Hamm roller for applications requiring that type of compaction.
The correct roller depends on the material, working width, required compaction and site access rather than machine size alone.

Choosing the Right Roller for Your Surface
Start with the material being compacted and the size of the working area. Granular sub-bases, asphalt, cohesive backfill and other materials behave differently under compaction, so the roller and operating method need to suit the particular job.
Pedestrian rollers can be practical for paths, driveways, reinstatement work and other smaller areas. Ride-on twin-drum machines provide greater coverage where roads, car parks and larger sub-bases need to be compacted efficiently, while trench rollers are designed for restricted excavation and backfill work.
Ground and moisture conditions also affect compaction performance. Material that is excessively wet or dry may not compact as expected regardless of the roller being used, so the site specification and actual conditions should be considered together.
If your project specifies a particular operating weight, drum width or type of roller, tell our Godstone team when you call.
Call 01883 743 322 with the material, approximate area and access requirements and we’ll help identify a suitable machine.

Frequently Asked Questions – Roller Hire in Godstone
What type of roller do I need for tarmac?
The appropriate roller for asphalt depends on the material specification, temperature, size of the working area and required finish.
Twin-drum rollers are commonly used for asphalt surfacing, with the vibration or static operating mode selected according to the material and stage of compaction. Smaller pedestrian rollers can be practical for driveways, paths and restricted areas, while larger ride-on machines provide greater coverage on commercial surfacing projects.
Tell our Godstone team what material is being laid, the approximate area and any roller specification provided for the project and we’ll help identify a suitable machine.
Can I hire a roller for a residential driveway?
Yes. Coppard supplies compact pedestrian and ride-on rollers suitable for many residential driveway projects.
The correct machine depends on the driveway size, access and material being compacted. A pedestrian roller can be practical for smaller or restricted areas, while a compact ride-on machine may provide greater productivity where there is enough working space.
Call our Godstone team on 01883 743 322 with the approximate area, material and access width and we’ll help identify a suitable roller.
Which type of roller is best for my project?
A pedestrian roller is often suitable for driveways, paths and other smaller or restricted areas, while larger ride-on rollers provide greater coverage for roads, car parks and wider areas of sub-base or asphalt.
Trench rollers are designed for confined backfill work, while combination and pneumatic-tyred rollers provide additional options for applications where those compaction methods are specified.
The correct choice also depends on the material, required compaction, working width and finish.
Skills England’s guidance on the road surfacing operative role explains how compacting rollers are used as part of preparing and finishing road surfaces.
Tell Coppard’s Godstone team what you are compacting, the approximate area and any access restrictions and we can help identify a suitable roller.
Do I need a roller or a plate compactor?
That depends on the material, size of the area and access.
Plate compactors are useful for smaller areas, paving preparation, trenches and places where a roller cannot operate efficiently. Rollers provide greater coverage across larger areas and are available in different weights and drum configurations for sub-base, earthworks and surfacing applications.
Some projects may use both types of equipment at different stages or in different parts of the site.
Tell our Godstone team what material is being compacted, the approximate area and any access restrictions and we can help identify whether a roller, plate compactor or combination of equipment is more appropriate.
Can you deliver a roller to my site?
Yes. Delivery is available from our Godstone depot to projects across Godstone and Surrey, subject to machine and transport availability.
Smaller rollers may also be available for customer collection where the towing vehicle, trailer and transport arrangements are suitable. Larger ride-on machines normally require Coppard transport.
Call 01883 743 322 with the roller required and site postcode and our Godstone team can confirm the available collection or delivery arrangements.
