Storm Damaged Your Project? Clean-Up Tools and Plant Hire Solutions in Cornwall

With the after-effects of Storm Goretti still being felt across Cornwall, many homes and businesses have been left feeling battered and bruised. We understand how devastating it can be when projects are set back, power and water are disrupted, and even historic trees and beloved landscapes are lost. Storm damage isn’t just inconvenient – it can halt construction, disrupt daily life, and leave you feeling overwhelmed. That’s why having the right equipment, clean-up tools, and professional support is so important to help you recover quickly and safely.

At J Keane Plant Hire in Truro, we provide a comprehensive range of plant hire, machinery, and tools, tailored to both residential and commercial needs, helping Cornwall residents and businesses get back on track after the storm.

The Right Tools For The Job

After a storm, time is critical. The longer debris and damage remain, the harder it is to restore your project to its original state. Having the correct machinery and clean-up tools is essential for safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

For residential projects, we can supply a large range of smaller-scale garden machinery like leaf blowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers, and wacker plates. These allow homeowners to clear gardens, pathways, and driveways efficiently, without the need for heavy machinery. Even small items, such as road plates or electric mixers, can save hours of labour when repairing patios, driveways, or garden features affected by flooding or wind damage.

For commercial or large-scale projects, the stakes are higher, and so is the demand for heavy-duty plant hire. Our fleet includes micro diggers, 1.5–21 tonne diggers, dumpers, rollers, telehandlers, and wheeled diggers, all available with or without experienced operators. Using the right machinery ensures that large-scale storm damage, such as uprooted trees, collapsed fences, or waterlogged foundations, are dealt with quickly and safely. Operated plant hire also reduces risk on-site, allowing projects to resume without unnecessary delays.

Tackling Commercial Storm Damage

Storms can leave construction sites, commercial properties, and large landscapes in disarray. Debris, fallen trees, and damaged ground can halt work, putting schedules and budgets at risk. For contractors and businesses, J Keane Plant Hire in Truro offers specialised equipment and professional operators to handle:

  • Site clearance: Quickly removing fallen trees, debris, and damaged materials.
  • Groundworks: Reinstating foundations, driveways, pathways, and landscaped areas.
  • Drainage solutions: Fixing waterlogged sites to prevent further damage.
  • Material movement: Using dumpers and telehandlers to transport aggregates, sandbags, and construction materials efficiently.

Our experienced team ensures your commercial projects get back on track safely and efficiently, no matter the scale of the storm damage.

Residential Clean-Ups: Gardens, Driveways and Smaller Projects

For homeowners, storm damage may seem overwhelming but can often be addressed with smaller, manageable tools and machinery. Common issues include blocked driveways, damaged patios, fallen branches, or storm-battered gardens.

Here’s how the right tools can help:

  • Leaf blowers and brush cutters: Quickly remove leaves, twigs, and storm debris from gardens and lawns.
  • Strimmers and hedge trimmers: Restore overgrown or damaged hedges and garden edges.
  • Rotavators: Turn and move soil for garden repairs or levelling damaged lawns.
  • Road plates and wacker plates: Stabilise surfaces and make driveways and pathways safe again.

By choosing the correct equipment, residential clean-ups become safer, faster, and more efficient, allowing you to restore your home and garden with minimal stress.
