Spring is finally here—the season when paint and plaster contractors start seeing an influx of enquiries and job opportunities. With the increase in demand, many professionals find themselves needing to scale up their spray equipment to keep up with the workload. Having the right spray equipment on hand is crucial to ensuring projects run smoothly and efficiently.
If you're looking to hire spray equipment and accessories quickly, here are some expert tips from Chad to help streamline the process.
Why Proper Planning for Spray Equipment Hire Matters
Between March and August, demand for spray equipment surges as contractors gear up for busy months ahead. While Spray Plant UK maintains a large hire fleet, the high demand during peak seasons can sometimes result in a short wait for deliveries. That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and secure the equipment you need well in advance.
Whether you know exactly what you need or you're new to spray equipment hire, it’s always beneficial to consult with an expert. Our knowledgeable team can guide you through the process, ensuring that you get the right machine and accessories tailored to your specific job requirements.
The Top 5 Questions to Ask When Hiring Spray Equipment
To make the hire process as seamless as possible, we ask these five key questions to ensure you receive the most suitable spray equipment and accessories for your project:
1. When do you need the equipment delivered on-site?
Timing is everything when hiring spray equipment. Since availability fluctuates during busy periods, it’s best to get in touch as early as possible to secure your preferred delivery date. The last thing you want is to be delayed due to high demand, so booking in advance ensures you receive your equipment when you need it.
2. What paint or material are you spraying?
Knowing what material you’ll be spraying is essential to selecting the right equipment. Different materials require different types of spray machines, pressures, and tip sizes. If possible, provide us with the technical data sheet for the paint or material you’re using. This will help us match you with the correct machine and settings. If you don’t have the technical sheet, just let us know the brand and name of the material, and we can look it up for you.
3. What power supply do you need?
It’s important to ensure that you have the correct power supply available on-site. Depending on the equipment you hire, you may require:
- A transformer
- A generator
Knowing your site’s power capabilities in advance will prevent any unexpected delays or compatibility issues.
4. Have you got the correct hose length for the job?
Spray hoses come in different lengths, and having the correct size can make a big difference in efficiency. If you're working in a larger space or a multi-story building, you may need more than the standard 15m hose. Let us know your site layout, and we can recommend the ideal hose length for your job.
5. What accessories might you require?
Using the right accessories can improve efficiency and make your spraying process much easier. Consider whether you need:
- Tip extensions – Great for reaching high walls and ceilings.
- Pole accessories – Ideal for precision work in difficult-to-reach areas.
By factoring in these additional accessories, you can ensure a smoother workflow and higher-quality results. Get more information by reading our blog on Reach Accessosories.
