Breaking and drilling hire — FAQs
What breaking and drilling tools can I hire in London?
Hireload offers breaking and drilling hire London including heavy, medium and light breakers, SDS and rotary hammer drills, a percussion drill, a dry diamond core drill, a right angle drill, magnetic drills for steelwork and a drywall screwdriver. The right option depends on the material, task, power supply and hole size — check the product page or contact us before booking.
Do you offer breaker hire in London?
Yes. We offer breaker hire London and road breaker hire London for breaking concrete, slabs and asphalt, plus medium and light breakers for masonry and lighter work. Choose based on the material, thickness, power supply and access — not every breaker suits every job, so confirm suitability before hire.
What is the difference between a light, medium and heavy breaker?
As a general guide, a light breaker may suit tiles, chasing and more controlled work; a medium breaker (such as the Bosch GSH 11E or an SDS Max model) may suit blockwork and masonry; and a heavy or road breaker may suit breaking concrete floors, slabs and asphalt. The right choice depends on the material, thickness and how much output the job needs — confirm suitability before hire.
Should I hire a breaker or a hammer drill?
It depends on the task. A breaker may suit breaking out concrete, slabs, tiles or masonry, while an SDS or rotary hammer drill may suit drilling holes for fixings and anchors in brick, block and concrete. Consider whether you’re removing material or making holes, the material and the hole size, and confirm suitability before hire.
What drill should I use for masonry?
For masonry, an SDS or rotary hammer drill may suit brick, block and concrete fixings, while a percussion drill may suit lighter general drilling. For core-style holes a dry diamond drill may be considered in suitable masonry. Match the bit to the material and confirm the hole size and depth before hire.
Can I hire a diamond drill or core drill?
Yes. A dry diamond core drill (Makita 8406 240V) may help with core-style holes in suitable masonry. Check the material, hole diameter, dust control and what’s behind the wall, and confirm suitability before hire — diamond drilling is not suitable for every material or situation.
Can I hire a magnetic drill for steel?
Yes. A mag drill (including a Rotabroach magnetic drill) may suit drilling holes in steel and beams using annular cutters on a magnetic base. Check the steel thickness, whether the magnet can seat securely and the hole size required, and confirm suitability before hire.
What should I check before hiring a breaker?
Check the material and thickness, the power supply (110V or 240V — confirm what’s on site), the right chisel for the task, the working area and access route, dust and noise restrictions, and that the work is planned safely. Also confirm product availability before hire.
