Standard services and out-of-hours emergency cover
A hydraulic fault can disrupt deliveries, hold up a construction job or leave equipment unable to work. Knowing who to call helps you take the next step quickly.
Our standard working hours, with no call-out charge, are:
-
Monday to Friday: 8am to 5.30pm
-
Saturday: 8am to 12 noon
The absence of a call-out charge during these hours does not mean repairs or parts are free. Contact us with details of the equipment and work required so we can discuss the appropriate arrangements and charges.
Our listed 24/7 coverage areas receive emergency support during both standard working hours and out of hours. Out-of-hours periods are:
-
Monday to Friday: before 8am and after 5.30pm
-
Saturday: before 8am and after 12 noon
-
Sunday: all day and night
For urgent enquiries, call our emergency number to discuss the fault, your location and any applicable charges. Not every type of repair can be completed on site or out of hours, so we will confirm the suitable option for your job.

Emergency hydraulic assistance when work cannot wait
A lorry with a hydraulic fault in the middle of the night needs a practical response. The same applies to equipment that stops working during a busy afternoon or at the weekend.
For emergency call-outs in our listed 24/7 response areas, the estimated arrival time is 60 to 90 minutes, day and night. In Great Dunmow, Halstead, Stansted Mountfitchet, Hertford and Stevenage, this estimate applies out of hours only, when traffic is clear.
The actual journey depends on your exact location, road conditions and engineer availability. We will advise on the expected arrival when you call.
The arrival estimate is separate from the time needed to assess and repair the fault. Some work may require further parts or workshop attention, and we will explain the next steps after assessing the problem.

Hydraulic services for vehicles and machinery
Our wider services include hydraulic hose replacement, hydraulic ram repairs and hydraulic oil supply. We work with equipment including construction vehicles, diggers, dumpers, skip lorries, forklifts, ready-mix concrete vehicles and transport vehicles.
If a hose has failed, a leak has developed or hydraulic equipment has stopped operating, contact us to discuss the fault. For planned work, tell us what needs attention and when the equipment can be made available. Not every service is available on site or out of hours, so we will confirm the suitable option for your job.
