Terrible experience Terrible experience, The staff down the beach must be he slowest I’ve ever came accross, extremely disorganised, stood down there for wrll over 30 minutes, had hired beofre etc so should have been a breeze. Was told when hired that deposit will be straight back when done “we are good here, 2-3 days’ Still waiting now 2 weeks later, going down local branch later today to knock some heads together. Will never use again and would advice to do the same.

Hired a plate compactor online Hired a plate compactor online. At completion it said I would receive an email for confirmation. No email. Phoned the branch "oh yeah don't worry you don't need that, we have your order". Went to collect on the Saturday & no staff on the hire desk. The 3 employees from the build side couldn't do anything. Took over an hour to get it sorted. On return there were "system issues" which meant after 45 minutes they couldn't return my deposit. "We'll get it sorted and call you" I was assured. I've been chasing them for 3 days and still haven't had my deposit returned.

Dehumidifier performance We hired 2 commercial dehumidifiers from the Ipswich branch when our son's bungalow was flooded. We were assured that these would work at temperatures of above 3 degrees. In the 3 days we had them they collected in total less than one bucket full each, The daytime temperatues in the bungalow were 10 to 12 degrees and the night time temperatures above 3 degrees. For this we were charged a full weeks rental of over £150. A total rip-off for 2 buckets of water. Our own domestic dehumidifiers we also used picked up twice the amount of water. On speaking to Hirebase we were told no compensation was possible as the invoice had already been issued. Be very careful when hiring from this company.

NEARLY A GOOD EXPERIENCE The Staff were excellent, machine deliverd on time and it did everything it was supposed to do very well. It was collected promptly, then the Hirebse experience went down hill Eight days later and I'm still waiting for my deposit to be returned despite visiting the local branch where I was told the money was 'in transit' . I should have asked where to as it has yet to turn up in my account! It only took a few seconds for it to leave so there is something very suspicious going on at Hirebase! Which is a shame as the branch staff worked so hard to make the hire experience a good one.

Hirebase in LOUTH is fantastic Hirebase in LOUTH is fantastic, always helpful and happy to help. The two guys in there go above and beyond what you would expect from a hire company. I was advised not to use website but contact my nearest branch instead and I couldn’t be happier. Delivery and collection was when they said and someone is always at the end of the phone or out of hours on there social media page. Excellent customer service and i will be using them for future projects.
