JW Crowther Road Sweeper Services

We operate one of the largest and most modern fleets of road sweepers in Yorkshire, built to top specification. As a part of our road sweeper hire all machines are operated by fully trained and highly experiences staff. Not only do they have the standard roadbrush to gather debris; they are also fitted with hand lances and high-pressure spray bars to cover all situations. Having the high-pressure lances enable our operators to get in to tight corners and edges providing our customers with the best clean. The sweeper hire is also supported from our in-house workshops and mechanical Department who are on hand 24/7 should a vehicle have any issues.

Our clients include many local and nationally known house building, construction, reclamation and civil engineering companies as well as retail outlets, factories, hospitals and industrial estates.

Throughout our 159-year history as a family business, we have experienced significant changes with the development of technology and working practices.  During this time, we have moved from the use of steam with our Fowler traction engines to the latest Volvo and DAF Euro 6 Johnson sweepers.

Whether you manage a highway, construction site, industrial unit or retail location our road sweeper fleet are ideal to visit regularly and provide a full sweep service. Regular visits can reduce build-up of dirt or debris on sites and so using a sweeper hire company, such as ourselves, can get the job done quicker and more thoroughly than a manual sweep. During the summer we can even spray water to suppress dust on sites to prevent it becoming airborne and causing nuisance and health issues such as respiratory problems and eye irritation!

Our fleet of road sweepers can travel far and wide to service a multitude of sites across Yorkshire and the Humberside region.

As our depot is conveniently located next to the M62 and M1 we have direct and easy access to many locations across the northern regions of the UK; allowing us to “sweep” far and wide.

Due to this location we are able to provide road sweeper hire in Leeds, Bradford and Halifax. These varied works have taken place on sites varying from schools and retail parks to new housing developments.

As we continue to expand our large fleet of vehicles that are more efficient than their predecessors, we are able to travel much further than when we began in 1860; we can carry out road sweeper hire in York, Harrogate and Manchester

Not only can we cover the immediate local area, due to our amazing road connections we can cover locations a bit further afield and therefore offer road sweeper hire in Sheffield, Hull and Doncaster.

Our team have the expertise to complete all drainage remediation works from the simple household gullys replacement to ‘CIP (cured in place) No Dig’ drain lining where open excavation is an impractical solution.

As part of our waste removal service we will initially determine whether a site inspection is required. Should liquid wastes require removal, then a waste sample collection will always be carried out, to determine the disposal stream most suitable for the waste to be removed.

Once the waste samples have been analysed, we can then supply a comprehensive quote which will cover all aspects of the planned works. All waste removed from a customer’s site is accompanied by the relevant waste transfer/disposal documentation. All waste collected is then transported to a registered site for disposal.

We can help with liquid waste removal from both household and commercial septic tanks; so no job is too big or small- just give us a call.
