Frequently asked questions
What is planer hire?+
Planer hire is the supply of a road planer that strips back the worn top layers of a road or car park before resurfacing. At MAC Surfacing we hire planers from 0.35m to 2m wide across the West Midlands, operated by our own trained crews with in-house workshop back-up.
Where do you supply road planers?+
Our core patch is the West Midlands, roughly 60 miles, where we turn around quickest. For larger, longer programmes we deliver nationally. If a job sits at the edge of sensible travel we will say so on day one rather than overstretch the crew and let you down mid-programme.
Is the planing self-delivered, or subcontracted on?+
It is self-delivered. The plant is ours and it is operated by our own trained people, so the planing pass is done by a crew that knows the kit, not a body in the seat. Good planing sets the next trade up to succeed.
What happens if a machine goes down mid-job?+
This is where our in-house workshop earns its place. If something goes down we are set up to repair or swap it quickly rather than wait on an external hire desk, and we hold 24/7 responsiveness to act on it. We plan for the bad day before it happens.
Are your operators properly qualified?+
Yes. Operatives carry the cards the work demands, including CSCS, MPQC, NPORS and NVQ Level 2, with supervisors qualified up to NVQ Level 6, SMSTS and SSSTS. Training is ongoing in-house.
Are you accredited for highways and main-contractor work?+
We hold ISO 45001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, along with CPA, CHAS, Avetta and Constructionline Gold, and we are an Armed Forces Covenant Gold employer. Delivery is audit-ready and SHEQ-compliant.
Can you supply the tippers and sweepers with the planer?+
Yes. Tippers and sweepers can be supplied as supporting plant around our planing work, so the machine, operators and site movements are coordinated as one package. They are not offered as standalone hire.
