Plant Hire, Haulage & Road Sweeping: Preparing Your Site for Autumn/Winter 2025
As autumn turns to winter, construction sites across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire face new challenges. From heavy rain and muddy access routes to shorter daylight hours, keeping your project on track requires the right preparation and equipment. At Eynesbury Group, we’ve supported contractors for over 50 years with reliable plant hire, haulage, and road sweeping services designed to keep sites moving—whatever the weather.
Why Winter Site Preparation Matters
Poor ground conditions can slow down projects, create health and safety risks, and even lead to costly delays. Local authorities are also strict on keeping roads clean and free from mud, meaning contractors must plan ahead. The right mix of plant hire, haulage, and road sweeping support ensures your site stays compliant, accessible, and productive.
Plant Hire Solutions for Wet & Muddy Ground
When the weather turns, not every machine is up to the task. That’s why Eynesbury Group offers a wide range of plant hire in Cambridgeshire and beyond, tailored for winter site conditions:
- Excavators – Ideal for drainage and groundworks to improve water run-off.
- Dumpers – Moving spoil and materials efficiently across muddy ground.
By choosing the right machinery hire for construction sites, you can minimise downtime and keep your workforce safe.
Haulage Services to Keep Projects Moving
Transporting aggregates, spoil, and machinery becomes more challenging in poor weather. Our haulage services in Bedfordshire are fully equipped to handle heavy loads safely, with experienced drivers who know local routes. Whether you need tipper hire for bulk movement or low loaders for plant and machinery transport, Eynesbury Group provides flexible and dependable solutions.
Road Sweeping for Safety & Compliance
One of the biggest issues in winter is mud being tracked from sites onto nearby roads. This not only creates hazards for road users but can also result in fines and damage your company’s reputation.
Our road sweepers for hire in Hertfordshire are available for regular hire or one-off callouts, helping contractors:
- Keep access routes safe for vehicles and pedestrians.
- Meet environmental compliance standards.
- Maintain a professional image with clean site entrances.
Health & Safety Comes First
Slips, trips, and vehicle accidents are more common during the darker, wetter months. By investing in the right plant hire, haulage, and sweeping services, contractors can reduce risks, protect staff, and ensure deadlines are met.
