The challenge
A roofing contractor was hiring scaffold on every project, eroding margin and limiting scheduling control during peak season.
What we did
A 48-month hire purchase agreement funding scaffold towers, boards, stillages and a dropside vehicle, supported by live project orders.
The outcome
Hire costs fell, project control improved and the financed kit is expected to pay for itself through saved rental spend inside 30 months.
The full story
How the deal came together.
Rental costs were eating margin
Trent Roofing had a strong order book but was spending heavily on third-party access hire. Availability also dictated project sequencing, creating delays in good weather windows.
Funding the full access package
The lender funded both the scaffold package and a dropside vehicle because the assets were identifiable, movable and directly linked to revenue-generating work.
Outcome
The business now controls its own access schedule, reduces third-party hire bills and has created a new income stream by renting spare capacity to trusted subcontractors.
Could you fund this?
If your business looks anything like Trent, the answer is almost certainly yes.
