Quick answer: GSMS Construction Ltd offers mini digger hire with driver across London. You get a micro or mini digger plus a trained operator, fuel and delivery, from £180 a day. We dig footings, trenches, garden clearances and driveway dig-outs, and can add a dumper and muck-away. Call 07717 790273 for a fixed price.
What mini digger hire with driver includes
- A micro or mini digger sized for your access and the job
- A trained, experienced operator who digs to your line and depth
- Fuel, delivery and collection
- Buckets and attachments for the job: digging, grading and clay buckets, breakers and augers
- A tracked dumper and muck-away if you need spoil moved and removed
Hiring with a driver means you do not need digger experience or a CPCS card, and you are not liable if the machine hits a wall or a drain. The job is usually done faster and neater too.

Mini digger hire with driver London: FAQs
How much is mini digger hire with driver in London?
Operated mini digger hire starts from £180 a day, including the driver and fuel. The final price depends on the machine size, how many days you need, access, and whether you want a dumper or muck-away too. Send us the postcode and a photo of the job and we will give you a fixed price.
Do I need a licence to use a mini digger?
There is no driving licence for using a digger on private land, but you must be competent and use it safely. Many sites ask for a CPCS or NPORS card. Hiring with a driver avoids the question: our trained operator runs the machine, so you do not need a card or digger experience.
Will a mini digger fit through my side gate?
A micro digger is usually under a metre wide, so it fits through most garden gates and side passages. Bigger mini diggers dig faster but need wider access. Measure the narrowest point between the road and the dig, tell us, and we will send the right machine.
Can you take the soil away?
Yes. We can bring a dumper to move spoil to the front, then arrange a grab lorry or skip to take it away. Muck-away is priced into the quote, so you know the full cost before we start digging.
What jobs is a mini digger with driver good for?
Footings for extensions, garden clearance, drainage trenches, driveway dig-outs, reduced-level digs and levelling for patios or outbuildings. A skilled driver digs to the right depth and line first time, which saves on concrete and clean-up.
