Using the U17-5 in Redditch

Redditch was designated a new town on 10 April 1964, and its estates mix semis (31.4%), detached homes (27.5%) and terraces (25.8%). The U17-5 suits the semis and detached houses with a metre of side access.

Many estates follow the Radburn layout, with the front door on a footpath and the garage on a service road. Tell us which side we can unload from, and measure that route.

The British Geological Survey records most of the district on Mercia Mudstone, which can shrink and swell and contains gypsum in places. Dig footings to the depth building control sets.

Before the U17-5 arrives in Redditch

  • Tell us whether we unload on the road or the service road.
  • Measure the route to the dig: 1.0 m clear.
  • Search LinesearchbeforeUdig for buried services.
  • For a long job, compare the £295 weekly rate.

Questions we get asked

£76.72 each way to B97 ex VAT. Bromsgrove is nearer at 24.8 road miles, £66.64 each way. Checkout prices your postcode.

Often, yes. On Radburn-style estates we unload on the service road; tell us the route when you book. If the path or gate is under a metre, choose the K008-5.

Follow building control and your engineer. Much of the town is on Mercia Mudstone, which can shrink and swell.

No licence or ticket is needed to hire from us or to operate the machine on private property. We hand over the machine on site, walk you through the controls and the daily checks, and the operator guide stays with the machine.

No insurance needed to hire. You're responsible for the machine while it's with you. You can get a hired-in plant insurance quote at checkout.

No deposit and no trade account. We keep the card you pay with on file and only charge it for damage or loss, under our hire terms.
