Wet hire
Wet Hire — Machine + Operator
The machine arrives with one of us on the controls. You describe the outcome; we handle the digging, loading and tidy-up.
J&B FLEET
Wet hire is the machine with one of us operating it. You get the excavator, skid steer or tipper together with an experienced operator who knows the machine and brings the right attachments. It suits homeowners who'd rather not run a machine, builders who need a reliable pair of hands for a day, and anyone with a site where access or ground conditions call for judgement.

Common questions
Who operates the machine?
Ben or Jess — the owners. Wet hire means the machine arrives with one of us on the controls for the duration of the job.
How is wet hire charged?
It's quoted for the job: machine, operator time, attachments, transport and any disposal or materials are set out in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can I wet hire the tipper?
Yes — and it's the only way to hire it. The Isuzu tipper is wet hire only.
What do you need from me before the day?
A clear description of the job, how we get on site, anything underground or overhead we should know about, and who to speak to on the day. We'll confirm anything else when we quote.
