Right Tools

Although still a relatively young company, London Tool Hire Limited has gained a well deserved reputation as a friendly, and positively helpful supplier to the construction industry.

Specialising in small tool hire, the company prides itself on supplying what the customer needs, which could be a Genie access platform wanted at short notice in Kent, a cement mixer, lighting rig, lifting gantry, welding unit, in fact the list seems endless.

When asked just how much kit the Canning Town depot held, Ray Dudley who co-runs the depot, grinned and simply replied: “God, I don’t know. But it’s a lot!”

London Tool Hire clearly embraces a “the answer is yes, now what’s the question” philosophy. “Whatever you want, I’m sure we can supply it,” Dudley continues.

It’s precisely this sort of attitude that has won the company a lot of respect and indeed custom. “People come back to us because we supply good equipment. We use a lot of Hilti kit because of the quality. We are versatile, and give the best possible service at competitive rates, and people like that attitude,” he adds. “This is a family run business and we like to do things that are out of the ordinary, we definitely go the extra mile.”

The company was formed in 2011 by David and Maggie Jones from a shared passion spanning over four decades, to create a hire business that is able to offer this industry the ultimate tool and lifting experience. That might sound like a sound-bite but after opening a fourth branch in as many years, the company seem to have got their policy right.

“Service is very important, so all kit is always inspected and brought up to the proper standard after customer use. It’s very handy having a Pirtek Centre on our doorstep, but that isn’t why we use Pirtek Docklands. They give us excellent service, have all the right parts in stock such as hoses and adaptors, and will even do our site repairs if anything is damaged. They work on the same principles as us in being user friendly and helpful,” Ray Dudley concludes. “Now we have four depots, we have a Pirtek Centre close to all of them, and no matter where the machine operates in the country, if it needs a hydraulic component, we can always get Pirtek nationwide to provide it.”
