Tight access in Coventry

The council's own character studies describe Foleshill's narrow-fronted, tunnel-back terraces and the small rear gardens of Stoke and Earlsdon. On streets like these the K008-5 goes through the side passage, or through the house with the floors protected.

Some Earlsdon terraces still have old watch workshops at the back. Their concrete bases come up quickly with the KM55 breaker, which fits the K008-5.

Coventry City Council licenses a skip on the road at £71 with three working days notice, and materials left on the highway need its consent; the 24-hour licence is free. Sort that out before the machine arrives.

Before the K008-5 arrives

  • 75 cm of clear width is all the K008-5 needs.
  • Add the KM55 breaker if there is concrete to break.
  • Apply for a skip licence three working days ahead to pay the lower £71 fee.
  • Search LinesearchbeforeUdig (LSBUD) before you dig.

Questions we get asked

What does micro digger delivery to Coventry cost?

£80.32 each way to a CV1 postcode, ex VAT, worked out from 32.4 road miles. Your own postcode is priced at checkout.

Can it go through my house?

If you have 75 cm clear through the doors and hall, yes. Lay boards first and take internal doors off where you can.

Do I need a permit for a skip?

Yes, if it sits on the road or pavement. Coventry City Council charges £71 with three working days notice and £79 with less.

Do I need a licence to hire it?

No licence or ticket is needed to hire from us or to operate the machine on private property. We hand over the machine on site, walk you through the controls and the daily checks, and the operator guide stays with the machine.

Do I need insurance?

No insurance needed to hire. You're responsible for the machine while it's with you. You can get a hired-in plant insurance quote at checkout.

Is there a deposit?

No deposit and no trade account. We keep the card you pay with on file and only charge it for damage or loss, under our hire terms.
