If you are looking for trench sheet hire near me in Surrey, stock at our Godstone depot. Call 01883 743 322.
What Are Trench Sheets and When Are They Required?
Trench sheets are interlocking steel panels driven or placed into excavation sides to retain surrounding ground and prevent collapse. Under CDM 2015, excavations over 1.2 metres must be assessed and, where necessary, supported.

Frequently Asked Questions — Trench Sheet Hire
At what depth do I need to shore a trench?
CDM 2015 requires assessment at any depth. HSE guidance treats 1.2 metres as the standard threshold. On Weald Clay — common across Surrey south of the M25 — shoring is good practice at shallower depths due to instability when waterlogged.
Can trench sheets be installed by excavator?
Yes — commonly pushed or vibrated into position using the excavator bucket. A vibro-hammer attachment improves speed. Sheets must penetrate at least 0.5m below excavation base for adequate toe restraint.
What is the difference between trench sheets and sheet piling?
Trench sheets are temporary, lightweight panels removed after construction. Sheet piling is heavier permanent or semi-permanent installation. Trench sheets suit most drainage and utility excavation projects.
Do I need to return sheets clean?
Free from concrete, grout and built-up clay. Reasonable soil contamination is expected. Sheets with adhered concrete may attract a cleaning surcharge.
Can I hire sheets and props together?
Yes. Same depot, same account. Call 01883 743 322 with trench dimensions and we will confirm the complete shoring package.
