How much does ground protection cost?
Ground protection is quoted per project. Here is what determines the cost.
Area and product type
The biggest factor. Vehicle-rated trackway costs more than pedestrian walkway per square metre. We will help you choose the right product for your loads and ground.
Hire duration
From single-day events to multi-month construction projects. Longer hires benefit from significantly better daily rates.
Delivery and install
Distance from our Cambridgeshire base, access constraints, and whether you need our team to install. We quote transparently — no hidden charges.

How much does ground protection hire cost?
Ground protection pricing depends on the area you need to cover, the product type required, hire duration, and delivery distance. Larger areas benefit from volume rates; longer hires get better daily rates. Every project is quoted individually because every site is different. Call us with your site details and we will provide a tailored quote.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. We deliver and install ground protection solutions across the UK — from central London to the Scottish Highlands. Same-week availability on most product lines. Large stockholding means even the biggest projects can be supplied at short notice.
Is it better to hire or buy ground protection mats?
Hire is almost always better. No storage costs, no maintenance, no purchase commitment — you only pay for what you need, when you need it. Our equipment circulates through hundreds of projects, reducing environmental impact compared to single-use or purchased alternatives.
