    Hire Request Form

    WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE YOU HIRE FROM ANYONE

    Ask for the certificate, not the assurance. Every hire company will tell you the equipment is tested. Ask for the actual DOP certificate, dated, for the machine being sent to you. If nobody can produce it before delivery, treat it as not existing.

    Check the unit is sized for your enclosure, not for their yard. The most common hire mistake is accepting whatever is available. Under-size it and it will not hold the differential. Over-size it and the enclosure becomes unworkable.

    Confirm what happens if the job runs over. Removal jobs slip. Ask how extensions are handled and whether the rate changes before you book, not on day nine.

    Why contractors hire rather than buy

    Hire earns its place in three situations. A job that needs more capacity than your own fleet
    covers, for a few weeks only. A machine you need once a year and cannot justify owning. And
    the job you have won but not yet been paid for, where the cash is better used elsewhere.

    There is a fourth, quieter one: trying a machine on a real site before committing to buying
    it. A spec sheet cannot tell you whether a unit fits through the doorways you actually work
    with.

    What is in the hire fleet

    Negative pressure units across the Deconta Smart Dec and Green Dec ranges, sized from small
    domestic enclosures up to large industrial volumes. Industrial HEPA air scrubbers. Mobile
    and modular decontamination units, personnel locks and the Smart Door 1000. Water management
    and treatment systems for capturing and filtering contaminated water from wet removal.
    Floor grinders and the Deconta MKS grinding system for silica and surface preparation work.

    Everything in the fleet is the same equipment we sell. Nothing in it is a lesser hire-spec
    variant.

    Hired equipment still has to meet the same requirements

    This is the part that catches people out. Hiring a negative pressure unit does not move the
    compliance obligation onto the hire company. The enclosure still has to hold negative
    pressure, the HEPA filtration still has to be effective, and the pressure differential still
    has to be monitored and recorded, regardless of who owns the machine.

    Which is why the condition of hired plant matters more than its price. A unit that has been
    knocked around on someone else's site and not tested since cannot demonstrably do the job,
    and an enclosure you cannot demonstrate is an enclosure you cannot defend.

    Every unit that leaves our facility is serviced, filter-checked and DOP tested, and the
    certificate goes out with the machine.

    What comes with a hire

    The certificate, the correct filters fitted, and the same technical support you would get if
    you bought the machine. If something goes wrong on site you are calling the people who
    service the fleet, not a call centre.

    Sizing, if you are not sure

    The most common hire mistake is taking whatever unit is available rather than the one that
    fits the enclosure. Under-size it and it will not hold the differential. Over-size it and
    the enclosure becomes unworkable and the sheeting will not stay up. Tell us the enclosure
    volume, the access and the duration and we will tell you which unit, rather than selling you
    the biggest one on the shelf.

    Hire, or buy?

    Worth doing the arithmetic. On most of the fleet, somewhere between four and eight weeks of
    hire reaches the purchase price of the machine. If a unit is going to be on your sites more
    than a couple of months a year, owning it is usually cheaper, and you control when it gets
    serviced. We will tell you when that is the case, because a customer who buys is worth more
    to us than one who hires indefinitely.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the equipment tested before it goes out?

    Every unit is serviced, filter-checked and DOP tested before it leaves our Auburn NSW facility, and the test certificate goes out with the machine.

    Do I get a DOP certificate with a hire unit?

    Yes. DeconSafe is a DOP testing provider, so the certificate is issued in-house rather than outsourced, and we can reissue it if you need a copy for a clearance file.

    Can I hire a complete enclosure setup rather than one machine?

    Yes. Negative pressure unit, decontamination unit, water management and consumables can go out together, which is the main advantage of hiring from a supplier that carries the whole range.
