Mini diggers from our own fleet

A mini digger does in an hour what would take a day by hand. Absolute Waste & Hire hires out mini diggers from our own fleet. Because the machines are ours, there is no waiting around for a third party to deliver, and with a same-day service you can often have a machine working on the day you call.

What a mini digger is good for

Mini diggers are compact tracked excavators. They are small enough to get into gardens and onto tight plots, yet strong enough for real groundwork. Typical jobs include:

  • Digging footings for extensions, garden walls and outbuildings
  • Trenches for drainage, cables and water pipes
  • Landscaping, levelling and reshaping gardens
  • Digging out old patios, paths and lawns before new surfaces go down
  • Site clearance and preparation before a build
  • Loading spoil and waste into a dumper or onto a vehicle

Before you hire

A few minutes of planning makes sure the machine that turns up is the right one, and that it can get to where it is needed:

  • Access. Measure the narrowest point between the road and the work area, such as a side gate or a passage, and tell us. That decides which machine will fit.
  • Ground. Soft lawns, slopes and finished surfaces all affect how a machine moves. Tell us what is between the access and the dig.
  • Buried services. Before any digging, check where pipes and cables run. Utility plans and free search services such as LinesearchbeforeUdig show what is in the ground.
  • The spoil. Every hole produces spoil, and usually more of it than people expect. Plan where it will go. A dumper moves it quickly, and as a licensed waste carrier we can take it away.
  • How long. Tell us roughly how many days you need, so we can plan the machine around your job.

Digger, dumper and clearance together

Most digging jobs need three things: something to dig, something to move the spoil, and somewhere for the spoil to go. We can provide all three: a mini digger, a dumper from our fleet, and a licensed waste carrier to take the spoil away. One call, one quote, one team.

We supply mini diggers across Kent, London and Essex from our base in SE9, from Bexley, Sidcup and Bromley out to West Malling and Kings Hill. Call 07301 880665 to check availability.

What can I use a mini digger for?

Footings, trenches, drainage, landscaping, levelling, digging out old patios and site preparation are all typical jobs. Tell us the job and we will make sure the machine suits it.

Will a mini digger fit through my side gate?

Measure the narrowest point between the road and the work area and tell us. That decides which machine will fit, and we will tell you before anything is booked.

Can I hire a dumper at the same time?

Yes. We hire out dumpers as well, and a digger and dumper together speed up most jobs.

What do I do with all the spoil?

We can take it away. We are a licensed waste carrier, so the spoil and waste from your job can go with us.

How soon can I have a digger?

We offer a same-day service and we are on hand 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Call 07301 880665 to check availability.

Do I need to check for pipes and cables first?

Yes. Before any digging, find out where buried services run using utility plans or a free search service such as LinesearchbeforeUdig.
