If you’ve searched cherry picker hire near me, here’s the short answer: we’re based in Runcorn, and every hire comes with a trained operator and delivery from our own yard, with no VAT added on top.

We’re based in Runcorn. Delivery is included.

When someone searches for cherry picker hire near me, they don’t want a call centre miles away who has to send a subcontractor to sort it. We’re a family-run business working out of a yard in Runcorn, Cheshire, WA7, so when you call it’s Jordan and the team who turn up, not somebody we’ve never met.

Every hire includes the machine, a trained IPAF operator, delivery from our yard and our insurance cover. That’s built into the price you’re quoted, not added on once we’ve arrived. We’re also not VAT registered, so the figure we give you is the figure you pay.

What does our cherry picker hire include?

Operated hire with us runs at two flat rates: a half day (4 hours) at £250, or a full day (8 hours) at £350. Both include the vehicle-mounted platform, a fully trained IPAF operator, delivery from Runcorn and our insurance cover. The work itself, whether that’s a roof clean, gutter clear, chimney repair, solar panel access or aerial install, is quoted separately once we know what you need doing.

That’s deliberate. Every job is different, and we’d rather give you an honest number for the actual work than bundle it into a vague day rate and hope it balances out.

How fast can we get to you?

Near me searches usually mean one thing: you want this sorted soon, not in three weeks. Because the machine and operator are based here in Runcorn, we’re not waiting on a depot somewhere else to release kit. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, with emergencies covered on Sundays and bank holidays too, which is when we tend to get calls about storm-damaged chimney pots.

Message or ring us with your postcode and what you need doing, and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can get to you the same day or need to book you in for the next one.

Why hire locally instead of scaffolding?

Scaffolding still gets quoted for jobs that don’t need it. It takes days to put up and take down, it blocks access to your drive or path while it’s there, and on most jobs, especially anything on the roof, our platform reaches the same spot in minutes with nobody walking across your tiles.

Hiring local also means we know the streets. Tight terraces in Widnes, steep driveways in Frodsham, narrow access on older Runcorn streets, we’ve set the machine up on most of it before, so getting positioned safely doesn’t cost you time on the day.

“Because they use their own truck-mounted cherry picker, they didn't need to put up any expensive scaffolding or walk all over our roof tiles. Brilliant service, very professional, and left the place spotless.”

Frequently asked questions

Do you really include the IPAF operator in the hire price?

Yes. Every hire comes with a trained, in-date IPAF operator included, at no extra cost. It's already built into the £250 half day or £350 full day rate.

Can you deliver same-day?

It depends on the day and time you call, but we do try to fit urgent jobs in when we can. Ring us on the day and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it work.

Is delivery really included, or is that a hidden extra?

Delivery from our Runcorn yard is included in every price we quote. We're also not VAT registered, so there's nothing added on top of the figure we give you.

What if I'm in Warrington or St Helens, not Runcorn?

We cover Warrington, St Helens, Liverpool, Chester and the rest of Halton and Cheshire. You still get the same operator, insurance and delivery included, wherever you are on that list.

How long does a typical hire last?

We offer a half day (4 hours) or a full day (8 hours). You pay for the time slot you book, and any work or materials are quoted separately on top.

What if I need the platform for roof cleaning, not just access?

We do both. You can hire the machine and operator on their own, or we can carry out the roof clean, gutter clean or chimney repair for you while we're up there.
