Laser Machine Hire Delivered to Reeth
Hiring suits the person in Reeth with a specific surface to clean rather than a business to run. We bring the laser cleaner up from Leeds, you use it for as long as the job needs, and we come back for it, so there is no machine sitting idle in a barn between projects.
You can hire by the week or the month, with a one-week minimum. A cottage frontage on the green fits within a single week, while a full barn conversion or several elevations may be better booked by the month. The choice of window is yours, which helps when Dales weather can shorten a working day without warning.
The method is quiet and leaves no mess. There is no slurry, no chemical runoff heading towards the river, and no grit blown across a neighbour's garden. In a village where visitors and locals are always passing the green, working cleanly and without fuss counts for a lot.
Hire is for a defined Reeth job on the local stone and timber, not a step before buying; if you later decide to own a machine, hire-to-buy terms may be agreed at the point of enquiry. We deliver and collect along the dale, quoted separately from the hire rate.
From our Leeds base we cover Reeth and the wider North Yorkshire area, 48 miles from Leeds, with delivery booked in advance. From Reeth, the same machine can reach work in Hovingham, Muker and Thornton-le-Dale and the surrounding DL postcodes.

What Needs Cleaning Around Reeth
These Reeth landmarks point to the kinds of surfaces laser cleaning handles in the dale.
- Reeth village green is fronted by ranks of gritstone houses, inns and shops, and their weathered stone faces gather soot and algae that laser cleaning removes without scouring.
- The Swaledale Museum occupies an older stone building of the sort that darkens and grows biological staining over the years, exactly the work a pulsed fibre laser is suited to.
- The Dales landscape around Reeth is stitched with drystone walls and stone field barns, and where an owner wants one cleaned back, a laser lifts the growth and grime without harming the stone.
How a hire actually runs
Planning a One-Week Hire in Reeth
Hire starts at one week. That is not an upsell, it is how long it takes to get past the learning curve and onto real surfaces: the first day or so goes on settings and technique, and the rest of the week is production. Reeth itself is small, so most hires here take in the surrounding villages and farms as well.
- What a week covers. A week on Reeth's rural stock is usually timber and stone. Beams, lintels and purlins taken back through limewash and old finish, farm metalwork and implements cleared of rust, gateposts and boundary walls cleaned of algae and staining. Out here access and power supply shape the week more than the machine's rate of coverage does. Around Reeth the work spreads out, and farm buildings and boundary stone account for as much of a week as anything near Swaledale Museum or Dales landscape.
- Delivery and collection. Reeth is 48 miles from Leeds, an area we run scheduled trips to, so it is worth giving us a little notice on dates. Delivery, collection and handover are quoted separately from the hire rate.
- Handover and training. Set up on your Reeth site with operation, settings and safety controls covered before we leave. Initial operational training, not an external qualification; your RAMS, site controls and insurance stay with you.
- If you decide to buy. Hire-to-buy terms may be agreed at enquiry, but you never need to hire first. See buying a laser machine in Reeth.

Restoration Work in Reeth
An operator based at Reeth covers upper Swaledale and Arkengarthdale, with Wensleydale and the Richmond side within a reasonable run. It is a thinly served area, which means stone, timber and metal work all tend to land with whoever has the equipment and the confidence to take it on. See them all on our services page.
Oak Beam and Timber
Beams, purlins and lintels in Reeth's older houses and barns are usually under limewash, soot or dark stain. A laser removes those coatings while the timber stays dry, so the grain and original tool marks come back into view without raised fibres or the swelling that wet stripping causes.
Laser sanders for timber → Read the guide →Victorian Sandstone
The original face of sandstone frontages across Reeth brought back without the micro abrasion that grit blasting causes.
Stone cleaning machines → Read the guide →Heritage Stone Cleaning
Swaledale gritstone and sandstone blacken with weathering and hold thick lichen in their beds. Pulsed fibre laser cleaning removes those layers at a depth you set, keeping tooling, lintel margins and any carved date stone readable, and it needs no water, which suits lime bedded dale masonry.

Hire questions for Reeth
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is delivery to Reeth from Leeds?
Reeth is about 48 miles from our Leeds base, a drive of somewhere around an hour and a quarter up into Swaledale. We deliver the machine to your site and collect it at the end of the hire, so the distance is our concern, not yours. Give us the dates and location and we handle the run.
What length of hire suits a barn or cottage in the dale?
A single cottage frontage on or near the green fits within the one-week minimum. A stone barn, a conversion or several elevations may need two weeks or a month, which also gives you slack for the weather. We can look at the surface and area with you beforehand and suggest a window that fits.
Which machine do I get on a Reeth hire, and is it the one you sell?
Yes. Hire machines are the same pulsed fibre units we sell, delivered to Reeth configured for the surfaces you describe, with the safety pack, eyewear and signage. Hires can be the 300W or the 500W depending on the job: control-led work such as doors and heritage detail suits the 300W, while facades, steel and larger areas suit the 500W. If you decide you want to own one, we quote a purchase from the same conversation.
Can I hire for a single barn or farmhouse project up the dale?
Yes, single property projects are one of the most common hire cases. You take it for as long as the job needs and hand it back with no further commitment. If neighbouring farms then start asking, it usually makes more sense to buy a laser machine in Reeth. Our article on hiring versus buying compares the two routes plainly.
Will the machine work somewhere with limited power, like a field barn?
It needs a proper supply, so a barn with no electricity means arranging a generator of adequate rating. Tell us the situation when you hire a laser machine and we will confirm the requirement before delivery. The unit is air cooled and uses no water or chemicals, which removes most other site problems, and training is delivered at handover on the surfaces you are tackling.
Standards this work sits under
Using a Class 4 laser at work in Reeth falls under the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010, with HSE laser guidance and HSE extraction (LEV) guidance alongside. We supply training, documentation and wavelength-rated PPE; the risk assessment, RAMS and site controls for your jobs remain yours.
