RH Digger & Driver Hire supplies excavators, telehandlers and many other machines to contractors and private clients. Always with experienced NPORS operators and within 50 miles of Andover. A 3-tonne digger and driver is from £330 plus VAT a day, with machines from 1 to 14 tonnes from £295. We also take on complete groundworks: foundations, drainage, driveways and earthworks tenders. Owner-run by Rory Hay.
Call Rory — 07545 265075 Rates & machinesWe're not a hire yard. Every machine goes out with an operator who knows it, that's the whole business. A number of our excavators run iDig 2D laser level control, so footings, falls and finished levels are cut accurately first time.
And because our group includes Hay & Co, our design and construction arm delivering landscapes and external works for country houses and estates across the South of England, the standard of finish is set by people who understand the whole construction process and the importance of a solid foundation.

For everyone else: homeowners with bigger projects who want one competent outfit, self-builders working to the engineer's drawing, and farmers and estates needing drainage, tracks, gateways and handling, insured with NFU Mutual like most of our farming customers.
