CSE Vacuum Excavations Hire deploys high-velocity suction diggers across Berkshire and the Thames Valley — exposing buried cables, pipes and chambers without mechanical strikes, costly reinstatement, or project downtime.
From a single-day utility trial hole to a long-term civils deployment, every CSE hire comes with a fully maintained machine, certified operator and on-site method statement.
Our most popular hire. A fully certified operator arrives with an 8-tonne suction excavator, digs to depth, removes spoil and leaves a clean working area.
For contractors with their own CPCS-trained operators. We deliver a fuelled, serviced machine to your compound anywhere in Berkshire with a full handover briefing.
Targeted, non-destructive trial holes for utility surveys, CAD verification and pre-construction clearance. Book a half-day slot and confirm exactly what's beneath your feet.
Founded in Aldermaston in 2014, CSE Vacuum Excavations Hire has grown into one of Berkshire's most relied-on specialist suction excavation contractors. Our fleet runs from Youngs Industrial Estate, covering utility, civils, rail and residential projects across the Thames Valley corridor.
We exist for one reason: mechanical excavators and buried services do not mix. Every year, thousands of strikes on UK construction sites cause injury, project shutdown and seven-figure costs. Suction excavation removes that risk at the source — loosening soil with high-velocity air or water while a vacuum conveys spoil directly into a sealed 8-tonne tank. No bucket teeth, no contact, no compromise.
Quality-assured operations and audit-ready records.
