How to get your project moving

Call us and talk it through

Tell us what you're dealing with and what you want the site to do next. We listen properly and give you honest guidance on the best way forward.

We visit and assess the ground

We arrange an initial site visit and look at access, levels, drainage, and the work involved. You get a clearer picture of the job before anything starts.

We get stuck in

Once you're happy to go ahead, we schedule the work and bring the right machine and operator for the task. You get steady progress, practical problem-solving, and a site that's ready for the next stage.

Our JCB Hydradig and 3-tonne excavator come with skilled operators, giving you capable machine support without the guesswork.

Groundwork done properly from the first dig

Getting a site ready can be a messy business when the ground is awkward, access is tight, or drainage has other ideas. We started T H Griffin Plant Hire in 2012 to provide homeowners, builders, farmers, and developers with a straightforward service that feels personal and professional. 

 

As a family-run independent business, we know you want clear advice, capable machinery, and people who turn up ready to crack on. Holding the Safety Training Awards Health & Safety in the Workplace Level 2 Award reflects our commitment to maintaining safe working practices while delivering dependable operated plant hire and groundwork services from the very first day on site.

Why people trust us with the heavy work

  • Established in 2012

  • CPCS qualified machine operators

  • Fully insured for your peace of mind

  • Initial site visit included

  • Practical help without the fuss

We have used Tim from TH Griffin Plant Hire for the last few years and would never use anyone else. We have never found a more skilled or professional craftsman. His work ethic is extraordinary, the standard of his work cannot be faulted. He has great machines which are beautifully looked after and when he leaves the site after finishing a job he leaves the place immaculate. I just cannot recommend Tim highly enough.

Support for jobs big, small, and somewhere in between

When your land is waterlogged, overgrown, or simply not ready for the next stage, the whole project can stall before it has properly begun. We step in with excavation, drainage installation, site clearance, hard landscaping, and demolition support that keeps things practical and moving, and T H Griffin Plant Hire works for domestic, agricultural, and commercial jobs alike. 

 

Our operated plant hire includes a JCB Hydradig and a 3-tonne excavator, both handled by trained operators with CPCS cards. That means you get the machine and the know-how together, which saves time, avoids headaches, and gives your site a better start.
