MSM Hire in short

MSM Hire is a Halesfield hire firm offering grab hire, muck away and aggregate delivery from its Telford yard. Its grab page sets out loads of up to sixteen tonnes with a seven-metre reach, plus sand, stone and other aggregates brought in by the same wagons [1]. A live limited company sits behind the name [4], and upper-tier waste registration is on the public register [5].

Customer reviews are few but warm, with a strong headline rating on Google across a small set of reviews [2]. MSM Hire suits anyone who wants clearance and materials from a single local contractor with a booking form and a phone number that are easy to find.

What counts against it: no prices, rates or VAT position are published on the pages checked [1], and the insurance page asks hirers to arrange their own hired-in plant cover while stating none of its own [6]. Our judgement: it suits a straightforward clearance or aggregates job. Published prices and the firm's own insurance details are the gaps.

Our verdict

Our judgement: MSM Hire suits you if you want grab hire, muck away and aggregates from a single Telford hire firm with years on the company record and an upper-tier waste registration [1] [4] [5]. The Google base is small at nine reviews [2]. Published prices and the firm's own insurance details are the gaps.

Strengths

  • You get grab hire with up to 16 tonnes taken per load and a grab reach of up to 7 metres, plus aggregate delivery of sand, stone and MOT Type 1 from the same wagons, all set out on the grab page seen 4 September 2026 [1].

  • The company record is checkable: MSM HIRE LTD has been active since 16 May 2015 with its registered office at Unit A, Halesfield 22, Telford [4].

  • Waste registration CBDU428902 lists the firm as an upper-tier carrier, broker and dealer on the Environment Agency register [5].

Limitations

  • No prices, rates or VAT position are published on the pages checked [1].

  • The site's insurance page asks hirers to arrange their own hired-in plant cover and states no cover of its own, which stays as insufficient evidence rather than a failing [6].
