Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, get in touch and we will be happy to help.

What types of boilers can I hire?

We carry containerised, trailer, electric and condensing boilers from 22kw to 1.2MW, running on oil, HVO, gas, or electric. Larger loads can be met by running multiple units together.

What is containerised boiler hire?

Containerised boiler hire provides a complete temporary boiler plant, designed and built in-house within a self-contained unit for ease of delivery and connection on site. Each plant can be configured around your commercial or industrial heating, hot water or process requirements.

Can boilers be hired for planned maintenance?

Yes. Temporary boiler hire can support planned maintenance, plant replacement and project works while permanent systems are unavailable.

Do you offer emergency boiler hire?

Yes. Cross Rental Services supports both planned and emergency boiler hire requirements across the UK.

How quickly can I receive an emergency boiler?

Our team is available 24/7 for emergency boiler hire. Boilers are dispatched from the nearest of eight (8) depots across the UK, including Scotland. Delivery times vary depending on the boiler size, your site location and access. Having your site details, required output and power supply to hand when you call helps us to assess and deploy a boiler faster.

How do I know what size boiler I need?

Call and speak to one of engineers today who can help size your site requirements from your plant plans or organise a site survey to accurately assess the plant size and needs.

Are site surveys included?

Yes. Site surveys are included free of charge and without obligation, except for chargeable Disaster Recovery Plan contingency surveys.

What is included in a boiler hire quote?

Our boiler hire quotes clearly set out the hire rate and project costs, including delivery, installation and commissioning, decommissioning and collection. Servicing and maintenance are included within the hire rate for the hire duration. An optional equipment damage waiver is also available.
