What Should You Check Before Hiring a Trencher?
Before hiring a trencher, consider the required trench width and depth, ground conditions, site access and the location of underground services. Oxford Clay across Melksham and Trowbridge becomes heavy when wet and can slow excavation, while Great Oolite limestone around Corsham may require a rock chain. Alluvial ground along the River Avon is generally softer but can become waterlogged after heavy rainfall.
Call 01380 828988 and describe your ground.

Frequently Asked Questions: Trencher Hire in Melksham and Wiltshire
How narrow is the trench?
100mm to 200mm, much narrower than an excavator bucket. Less spoil and faster reinstatement.
Can I use it on a lawn?
Yes. A walk-behind trencher causes less damage to turf, and the narrow cut is easier to reinstate.
How fast can you deliver?
Most trenchers go out the same or next day. Walk-behind models can also be collected from the Melksham depot. Call 01380 828988.
What should I check before hiring a trencher?
Before trenching begins, you need to consider the required trench width and depth, the type of ground, available access and whether underground cables, pipes or other services may cross the proposed route. National Grid’s practical safe-digging guidance recommends obtaining utility plans, locating buried services and clearly marking them before work starts. Give Coppard’s Melksham team the proposed trench dimensions, route and site conditions, and they can recommend suitable trenching equipment and arrange an operator where required.
