When the colder months arrive, it’s easy to assume that outdoor work has to stop until spring. But winter can actually be one of the best times to tackle key jobs around your home, garden, or site. With the right equipment, you can stay productive, stay safe, and get ahead of the rush when the warmer weather returns.
At Olympus Tool Hire Devon, we offer a wide range of plant and tool hire options to help you get the job done, whatever the season brings.
1. Prepare for Wet Weather and Drainage Work
Winter often highlights issues with water pooling and poor drainage. This makes it the ideal time to install or repair drainage systems before spring rain causes problems. We stock a full range of drainage pipes, fittings, and groundworks tools, along with mini diggers and trenching equipment to make light work of muddy jobs.
2. Keep Warm and Productive
Cold weather doesn’t need to slow you down. Our range of space heaters and dehumidifiers help maintain safe, comfortable working conditions, whether on-site, in a garage, or in a workshop. We also provide drying equipment for keeping materials and interiors moisture-free during renovation or decoration projects.
3. Tidy Up Outdoor Spaces
Winter is a great time to clear overgrown areas and prepare the ground for spring planting or landscaping. Our log splitters, chippers, and chainsaws make cutting and clearing efficient and safe. For more extensive jobs, hire a dumper or mini digger to move soil, branches, or debris with ease.
4. Home Renovation and DIY Indoors
If the weather keeps you inside, it’s the perfect opportunity to focus on indoor improvements. From sanders and drills to decorating tools, we offer everything you need to freshen up your home. And with our short-term hire options, you only pay for the tools you actually use.
5. Stay Safe and Ready for Spring
Regular maintenance now prevents bigger problems later. Compacting paths, clearing drains, and servicing outdoor areas can make all the difference when spring arrives. Our rollers, wacker plates, and lighting equipment help you stay efficient even on shorter, darker days.
