HSS do them.
That Speedyhire place probably does them.
A lot of local places will do them and will be cheaper...
A bit of persistance using Yellow Pages under tool hire should bring a result.

Thanks for the very useful information.
HSS have come up trumps. All the other hire firms locally failed.

I hate HSS due to its high prices but it can be a useful store...
HSS is one of the few places that will hire a chainsaw to an amateur.
Most local places won't for insurance reasons.
