Concrete Services and Supplies Ltd

What Concrete Services and Supplies Ltd does

Concrete Services and Supplies Ltd (CSS) is a UK-based specialist equipment supplier and hire operator focused exclusively on the concrete flooring trade. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Congleton, Cheshire, the company sells, rents, services, and repairs concrete placement, levelling, finishing, and cutting equipment to professional concrete contractors and commercial construction firms. Its portfolio centres on three pillars: laser-guided screeds (Conscreed E1800 and the 2025-launched Conscreed E2400, supplied under exclusive UK distribution of Ekin Engineering), ride-on and walk-behind power trowels (including Husqvarna CRT and CSS CT lines), and a broad finishing and cutting range spanning floor saws, Soff-Cut early-entry saws, dust extractors, wet vacs, lighting towers, and hand tools. The company holds registered trademarks for Conscreed, Conbuggy, and Conpour, the latter marketed as the world's first fully electric compact concrete placer. A second depot in Ireland extends the hire and sales footprint beyond the UK mainland.

CSS makes money through four distinct streams: one-time equipment sales (its own CSS-branded products plus distributed brands such as Husqvarna, Wacker Neuson, Bartell, Kraft Tool Co, Numatic, MAX, and Spectra Precision), recurring equipment hire (the company's largest hire fleet of power trowels in the UK, with quote-based pricing and annual contract options), professional servicing and repairs carried out from a fully fitted in-house workshop, and used-equipment sales from ex-hire fleet inventory. Pricing is quote-driven rather than list-priced, distribution is direct via the company's e-commerce site and a request-a-quote funnel, and demand generation spans organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube) and an email-gated product brochure. With a headcount of approximately 12 and apparent family involvement through contacts Ruth Ekin and James Ekin, CSS operates as a privately held, closely run niche specialist rather than a scaled general plant-hire business.

Broad incumbents

• Hirebase: UK tool and small plant hire specialist with national branch network. Comparable business model to CSS's hire arm but serving broader customer needs with greater geographic reach.
• GAP Hire Solutions: UK equipment hire company providing plant, tools, and Lifting solutions across multiple sectors. Comparable hire model with broader portfolio that competes for the same contractor customers.
• Speedy Hire: UK-listed general plant and tool hire company. Operates a far broader fleet but overlaps with CSS in concrete flooring equipment hire, making it the largest UK incumbent competing for the same contractor customers.
• Sunbelt Rentals: Global equipment rental leader with established UK presence. Comparable hire business model with significantly larger fleet and balance sheet, capable of competing on availability and pricing.
• Ashtead Group (A-Plant): FTSE 100 equipment rental group operating the A-Plant brand in the UK. A much larger incumbent with overlapping general construction equipment rental, including categories that compete with CSS's hire fleet.

Direct peers

• Somero Enterprises: US-listed manufacturer of laser-guided concrete screeds and related levelling equipment. Highly comparable as both compete in the laser-screed category that anchors CSS's differentiated hire and sales offering.
• Ligchine International: Manufacturer of laser-guided screeds and concrete placement equipment. Competes head-to-head with the Conscreed line that CSS exclusively distributes in the UK, making it a direct category peer.
• Bartell Global: Canadian concrete and compaction equipment manufacturer. Directly comparable as a specialist concrete-equipment OEM whose products (power trowels, diamond blades) are sold alongside CSS's own line.

Others

• Wacker Neuson: German compact and concrete equipment manufacturer whose products CSS resells. Comparable product overlap, but functions as upstream supplier rather than direct hire competitor to CSS.
• Husqvarna Construction: Major construction equipment manufacturer and key supplier of CSS's hire fleet (CRT/CT power trowels, floor saws, dust extractors). Comparable product portfolio but operates as OEM rather than distributor/hire company.
