The company appears to have inconsistent operational standards. Negative experiences often involve billing and follow-up issues. Positive experiences are typically linked to individual employees rather than the company as a whole.

Avoid at all costs
Don t bother use these if you want toilet hire more often then not they aren t cleaned regularly with no soap or toilet paper or broken and when you complain they say servicing is complimentary so it s not technically part of the service they don t collect the toilets when they say they are going to and when they do they charge you extra by saying they couldn t take the toilet away as it s being blocked in and use a photo from a obscure angle that shows nothing as evidence

RICS Surveyor recommends - DO NOT USE
RICS Chartered Surveyor with 10 years experience hiring plant with work Worst experience with this company of any suppliers to date Some no-shows delaying our projects invoices for aborted visits that THEY aborted Their accounting system is unmanageable they overload you with small value invoices Coupled with their chasing emails your inbox becomes flooded with PAL emails Extremely unhelpful and harassing Would not recommend

Avoid PAL Hire at All Costs
Avoid PAL Hire at All CostsOur experience with PAL Hire was absolutely dreadful from start to finish We hired a scaffolding tower and the entire process was a nightmare Communication was non-existent I could never get hold of anyone when I needed to When I finally did the driver who showed up was incredibly rude To make matters worse they completely ignored my repeated requests to arrange a pickup In the end I had to retrieve the equipment from the site myself and take it back to my unit something I absolutely shouldn t have had to do They even tried to charge me for a failed delivery which was outrageous When they finally collected the scaffolding it took forever for them to return my refundable deposit and they were needlessly awkward about the whole thing Awful service unprofessional behaviour and a complete disregard for customers once they have your money Do yourself a favour and steer clear of PAL Hire
