DELIVERY & COLLECTION

If we deliver equipment to you, it remains your responsibility to contact us to arrange collection—collections are not scheduled automatically. Please ensure that someone is available at the agreed address and time to accept delivery or hand over the equipment for collection. Any unsuccessful delivery or collection may incur an additional transport charge.

INSURANCE & RESPONSIBILITY

Our machines are not insured. If a tool is lost or stolen whilst in your possession, or is not returned, you will be responsible for the full replacement cost.

USING TOOLS SAFELY

Please ensure that you know how to operate the equipment safely before use. If you are unsure, please ask—we are happy to help. Always follow the relevant safety instructions for the equipment and the task.

Sea Point Hire will not be held liable for any loss, damage, injury or death arising from the operation, and/or misuse of hired equipment. The hirer is responsible for ensuring that the equipment is used correctly, safely and only by a suitably competent person. This applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.

HIRE DURATION AND BILLING

Hire is charged for the full time the equipment is out, not only for the time it is used.

Minimum hire period: one day (24 hours).

Scaffolding is charged weekly, by prior arrangement.

All other equipment is charged daily, per 24-hour period.

We do not offer half-day or hourly rates.

All hires are strictly COD (payment due on hire).

CLEANLINESS

All equipment must be returned reasonably clean and in the same condition in which it was supplied, allowing for fair wear and tear. Equipment returned excessively dirty, or containing paint, cement, plaster, chemicals or other materials, may be subject to an additional cleaning charge. Cleaning charges will depend on the condition of the equipment and the time required to clean it.

DAMAGE CHARGES

Any loss or damage caused by misuse, negligence, or failure to follow operating and safety instructions will be assessed and charged separately.

WEEKEND HIRE

Weekend hire runs from 2:00 pm on Friday until 9:00 am on Monday and is charged as one day’s hire. Equipment returned after 9:00 am on Monday will be charged as two days’ hire.
