Road Sweeper Hire FAQs
Answers to the questions we are asked most often about operated road sweeper hire.
Questions and answers
What is operated road sweeper hire?
It is the hire of a road sweeper together with a trained operator. The operator brings the machine to site, does the sweeping and takes it away again.
Can I hire a sweeper to drive myself?
No. We only arrange operated hire.
How is the hire charged?
Normally by the hour or the shift, with a minimum hire period. Travel and disposal of the sweepings may be included or charged separately. The quotation sets out what applies to your job.
What is the minimum hire?
Operators set a minimum number of hours per visit, which varies by area and by day of the week. We state it in your quotation.
How much notice do you need?
A few days is ideal for planned work. Short-notice requests depend on an operator being free near your site, so call if it is urgent.
Do you cover the whole country?
We arrange hire across England, Scotland and Wales. Availability varies by location and date, so we confirm it for each enquiry.
Do you have local depots?
No. We coordinate hire through sweeper operators based around the country. The sweeper comes from an operator who works in your area.
Can you sweep at night or at weekends?
Yes, subject to availability. See out-of-hours road sweeping.
Can you arrange regular visits?
Yes. Weekly, fortnightly, monthly, seasonal and multi-site programmes are arranged as contract sweeping.
What does the site need to provide?
Safe access for the sweeper, someone to direct the operator and, ideally, a water supply for refilling. Tell us about any inductions, permits or site rules in advance.
What happens to the material that is swept up?
It is waste and goes to a suitable licensed facility. Whether disposal is included in the price is stated in your quotation.
Is a booking confirmed when I send an enquiry?
No. Dates are provisional until we have confirmed availability with the operator and you have accepted the quotation.
Do you offer gully cleaning and jet washing?
Yes. Both are arranged with an operator in the same way as sweeper hire, on their own or on the same visit as a sweeper.
Can you supply other services to the same site?
Yes. Waste Cloud also arranges skips, RoRo containers, grab and tipper hire, muck away, aggregates, concrete, welfare and waste collections.
