Industrial cleaning equipment hire in Yorkshire and the North
Hiring industrial cleaning equipment is the practical choice for a wide range of situations. Whether you need a machine for a one-off project, want to cover a gap while your own kit is being serviced, or are looking at a longer arrangement without the commitment of purchasing outright, CFM North East can help.
We supply scrubber dryers, floor sweepers, industrial vacuum cleaners and specialist ATEX-rated equipment on flexible hire terms to businesses across Yorkshire, the North East and the wider UK. With one of the largest hire fleets in the country and over 25 years in the industry, we know which machines work for which jobs, and we make the whole process straightforward from first call to collection.
Why smart businesses choose our range of high quality cleaning machines to hire
🔧 Expertise
We'll match you with the right machine for your floors, your space, and your cleaning schedule, no guesswork, no overselling.
🛠️ Maintenance Included
All servicing and repairs are covered throughout your hire. If something breaks, we fix it or replace it, that's our problem, not yours.
🚚 Ready to Work
Machines in stock for immediate delivery. We'll train your team on-site so you're up and running from day one.
✅ Zero Risk
Try before you buy, swap machines if your needs change, or simply hand it back when the job's done. No long-term commitments unless you want them.
🏆 Leading Brands
Nilfisk, Viper, Tennant, Truvox, and more commercial-grade equipment built for demanding environments, not domestic machines dressed up for industry.
📋 Flexible Terms
Weekly, monthly, or multi-year agreements tailored to your budget. Predictable costs with no upfront capital outlay.
Cleaning machinery hire options
We offer three main hire arrangements, each designed to suit a different set of circumstances. Most customers know roughly what they need, but if you are unsure, a quick conversation with our team is usually all it takes.
Short-Term Hire
Short-term hire runs from one week upwards and is ideal for project work, seasonal deep cleans, covering breakdowns, or trialling a machine before committing to a purchase. We hold substantial stock of the most in-demand machines, so turnaround times are fast, and delivery across Yorkshire and the North is quick and easy to arrange.
Common short-term scenarios include builders cleans, factory shutdown cleans, event venues, and facilities dealing with a sudden equipment failure that cannot wait for a repair.
Long-Term Hire
Long-term hire suits businesses that need a machine on an ongoing basis but would rather not tie up capital in an outright purchase. You get access to a well-maintained, modern machine at a fixed monthly cost, with servicing and breakdown support included as standard.
This option works well for contract cleaners taking on new sites, facilities teams managing cleaning in-house, and businesses that want to keep their equipment costs fixed throughout the duration of the hire.
Contract Hire
Contract hire is a tailored arrangement built around your specific requirements. It typically covers a defined term, includes full maintenance and servicing, and can be structured to account for multiple machines across different sites if needed. It is worth considering if you are managing a larger cleaning operation or want a single point of contact for your entire hire fleet.
Talk to us about your requirements and we will put together a proposal that fits your budget and working requirements.
What is included in your hire
We aim to make hiring from CFM as straightforward as possible. Every hire includes the following as standard:
• Delivery to your site and collection on completion
• Full operator briefing and familiarisation on arrival
• All standard accessories required for the machine
• Telephone support throughout your hire period
• Loan machine provision if a breakdown cannot be resolved swiftly
Cleaning chemicals and consumables are available separately if required. Scheduled servicing is built into the agreement on a frequency designed to suit your business. If you have any specific requirements, let us know when enquiring and we will build a quotation to suit your requirements.
ATEX and specialist hire
Environments where combustible dust is present require equipment that meets strict safety standards. Standard industrial vacuum cleaners are not suitable for these conditions, and using the wrong equipment can create a serious risk.
CFM North East specialises in ATEX-rated cleaning equipment and holds dedicated hire stock of vacuums certified for use in hazardous dust environments. Our machines are suitable for woodworking, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, and other sectors where dust classification is a compliance requirement under DSEAR.
If you need ATEX-rated hire equipment, we can advise on the appropriate specification for your site and dust class. This is not a niche we have drifted into, it is a core part of what we do, we are experts in this field and we have been supplying and servicing specialist equipment in this area for many years.
Equipment available to hire
Our hire fleet covers the full range of industrial floor cleaning machinery. The table below gives an overview of what is available and the most common applications.
Nilfisk machines feature prominently in the hire fleet, although other manufacturers machines may also be available depending upon availability and duration of hire. As an approved Nilfisk supplier with a long-standing relationship with the brand, we stock and maintain Nilfisk equipment to a high standard, which means hire machines arrive in good working order every time.
If you are looking for a specific model or have a particular application in mind, get in touch and we will confirm what we have available.
