What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

R T K Grab Hire Ltd operates across Bolton and the surrounding area, supplying aggregate and plant hire, and the feedback left by customers reflects a service that often satisfies but does not always run smoothly. Reviewers repeatedly praise the speed of response, with same-day or next-morning arrivals noted for loads of top soil, and the drivers are credited with being genuinely helpful once on site, in one instance assisting with spreading the material. Tuition is another strand of the business, and Phil and John are named as tutors who explain the operation of plant machinery thoroughly.

Deborah and the wider team are remembered warmly by a customer who returned over an extended period. Less favourable accounts centre on jobs that failed to materialise when promised, deliveries that did not correspond to what had been agreed, and aggregate or grit sand that fell below the standard expected. Abrupt telephone exchanges when sorting out problems recur in those accounts as well. Praise for prompt deliveries and capable instruction therefore sits beside frustration over missed collections, short loads and difficult conversations.

I am an avid truckspotter. I attended the Ribble Valley Truck Run. In the convoy was a Scania T-Cab, branded with RTK. After the convoy had concluded, I spotted the truck heading west on the A59, heading for the A671 junction. I decided to follow the truck to get some rolling footage on the Accrington Bypass and the M66. The truck had pulled into Rising Bridge McDonald's, so I decided to follow. With my ADHD, I don't hold back in being talkative. I sprinted over to the truck and got some photos shown below. Once done, I had a chat with the 2 people in the truck at the time. They were both absolutely spot on people, inviting me to follow them down the M66 for the final drive to the Bury turn off. I don't know if any of the 2 that chatted to me are going to see this, but I thank you so much for your time and interacting with me. The truck is perfection.

Cancelled a grab an hour before the scheduled arrival due to bad weather conditions but they turned up anyways and started loading some of the waste from my garden and threatened to fly tip onto council property if I didn’t pay them. I couldn’t get to the site to pay the driver (reason for cancelling the grab) so I called the office to pay due to being threatened and the rude guy on the phone hung up on me several times until finally they took a payment but for £70 more than was agreed. They didn’t even take all of the waste away so I had to pay for a more reliable and professional grab company to do their work for them. Very unprofessional, rude and arrogant staff members. Have reported to local authorities & trading standards. Avoid this company.

Great place to learn, Phil and John are really good tutors and go through everything thoroughly, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to driving plant machinery.
