Local Authority Cleaning Equipment Hire

Local authorities look after streets, car parks, public spaces and buildings all year round, often with tight budgets and stretched teams. Kärcher Hire provides flexible hire of professional Kärcher cleaning machines, so the right equipment is there for each job without the cost of buying it.

Why Hire Cleaning Equipment Rather Than Buy?

  • Council workloads change through the year, and hiring lets you add machines when you need them and hand them back when you don't.
  • One-off jobs, such as the clean-up after a street party, can be covered without buying equipment that would then sit unused.
  • Specialist tasks like weed removal and graffiti need more than standard equipment, and hiring avoids a capital purchase for occasional work.
  • Streets, car parks and council buildings can all be covered through one hire supplier.
  • Your team can use a machine on your own sites before you commit to buying one.

The Right Cleaning Equipment for Every Council Job

Local authority cleaning covers a lot of ground: dust and loose dirt on streets and car parks, weeds on paths, graffiti on walls, chewing gum trodden into the ground, and floors in offices, schools and other public buildings. Here's the equipment for each job.

Mini Road Sweeper Hire for Council Streets and Car Parks

Our mini road sweepers keep council roads, paths and car parks clear of dust and loose dirt. Side brushes sweep dirt towards the suction mouth, where it's vacuumed up.

Pedestrian and Ride-On Sweeper Hire for Paths and Public Spaces

Match the machine to the space with our pedestrian and ride-on sweepers, from push sweepers for smaller paths up to 300 m² to ride-on vacuum sweepers for car parks of 1,500 m² and more.

Hot Water Pressure Washer Hire for Weeds, Gum and Street Washing

Tackle weeds without herbicides using our hot water pressure washers. Hot water kills weeds above ground and down to the roots. The same machines take on the heavy clean-up after a street party and chewing gum trodden into the ground.

Graffiti Removal Equipment Hire for Council Sites

Painting over graffiti isn't a fix, as the colours can bleed back through. Our hot water pressure washers work efficiently on brick and artificial stone, while dry ice blasting machines are ideally suited to sensitive surfaces. We recommend testing on a small section first.

Scrubber Dryer Hire for Council Buildings and Schools

Council buildings vary, from offices that need to look presentable for visitors and staff to schools and nurseries with their own hygiene requirements. Scrubber dryers need to leave floors completely dry, so cleaned areas can be walked on again straight away.

Commercial Vacuum Hire for Offices and Public Buildings

When budgets and teams are stretched, efficient equipment matters. Hire dry or wet and dry commercial vacuums for offices, reception areas and other public buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we hire a machine for a single event or a short job?

Yes. Hire periods start from 2 days, so a one-off clean-up can be covered without a long commitment. For ongoing work, hire periods run up to 5 years.

Can you deliver to more than one depot or site?

We deliver across the UK, with next-day delivery subject to location and availability. Let us know which sites you need machines at and we'll confirm what's possible.

Our team hasn't used these machines before. Is that a problem?

Free operator training is provided on delivery, so your team is shown how to use the machine when it arrives.

What happens if a machine breaks down during the hire?

Maintenance is included as standard and breakdown support is part of every hire. If something goes wrong, call us on 0345 222 8000.

We're a contractor cleaning council buildings. Can we hire from you too?

Yes. If you deliver cleaning as a service to councils or other clients, see our equipment hire for contract cleaners page.
