If tired wooden floors are on the list, now’s a good time to tackle them. Strip back years of scratches, scuffs & questionable decorating decisions with a floor sander from Martin Plant Hire - available from £36. One weekend. One sander. A floor that looks considerably less 1997.

#DYK The @LuxorLV Sky Beam shoots straight up from the top of the pyramid, powered by 39 xenon lamps & is so powerful it can be seen 100's of miles away. Slight overkill for a site in Glasgow. 😂 Thankfully, we have portable lighting & towers for jobs on a smaller scale!

ONE email address. ONE Makita drill. That’s a fairly decent return on investment. We’re giving away a @MakitaUK handheld drill to one lucky person on our mailing list. Just sign up to the Martin Plant Hire mailing list and you’re in the draw. eepurl.com/jjb6Uw

Last month the team swapped plant hire for a little horse power and took 15 of our customers along to Ayr Races for the @Ladbrokes Ayr Gold Cup Festival. Good company, a few bets, plenty of laughs. Same again next year? We’ll bet on it. @ayrracecourse

We’re hiring... We need someone who’s bright, organised, and good with people. Equipment knowledge would certainly help, but just as important is the attitude: you’re keen to learn and happy to muck in. Is that you? 👉 [email protected]

POV: The plaster's wet. The weather's wetter. You're on a deadline. A dehumidifier can help remove excess moisture from the air, supporting the drying process when conditions are less than ideal. Because watching plaster dry was never anyone's idea of a productive working day.

Autumn event lighting isn't only about lighting the main attraction. Tower lights can handle the big areas. Smaller portable lighting can tackle the rest. Charity events. Sports events. Outdoor functions. And yes… Christmas events 🙃 Read more: ow.ly/pcLi50ZSvSK

OUR MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING HAS BEEN POSTPONED... Apparently, some of our staff have decided to have a few days off. How very dare they. Or has someone's already eaten all the cake?? Either way, our @macmillancancer Coffee Morning will take place next week!

“We’ll get that finished before it gets dark.” Famous last words…. By autumn, losing daylight can mean losing productive hours on site - unless you’ve planned for it. Read our full lighting breakdown in our latest blog - ow.ly/zZRs50ZKooR

Last-minute job. Long shopping list. No time for faffing about. Colin needed a roller, trailer, plate, rammer AND Stihl saw. Our South Gyle team sorted the lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ His verdict? “Fantastic service.” Need it? Give the Edinburgh team a shout. 👊

A lovely handwritten thank you and some home baking dropped into our Ayr depot from a happy customer. It’s always great to hear we’ve done a good job, but homemade treats? That’s next level. A big thank you to our customer – and well done to the Ayr team. 👏 #TeamMPH #Ayr
