Built on reliability
An independent plant hire and groundworks company working out of Newcastle upon Tyne, serving the wider North East.
Plant Hire & Groundworks
Northern Edge Plant & Construction Ltd hires out compact excavators on a self-drive and operated basis, and takes on groundworks directly — excavations, drainage, footings, site preparation and landscaping preparation.
We work for builders, developers, landscapers and homeowners across Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, North Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland and the wider North East. Trade and private customers are equally welcome, and a one-day domestic job gets the same treatment as a week on a site.
We are fully insured and work to professional standards on every job.
