Need reliable pump, water tank, or treatment hire in Devon and Cornwall?
Selwood Saltash is your local expert in pump hire, water tank hire, and site dewatering across Cornwall and South Devon. As the UK's leading pump hire provider, we deliver robust, reliable equipment — including stormwater overflow storage for utilities and contractors managing network pressure — backed by decades of innovation and technical know-how, ensuring your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
Our depot is situated close to the River Tamar and has direct access to both the A38 and A388, making it easily accessible from Plymouth and the wider Devon and Cornwall area. Whether you're working on construction, utilities, environmental, or emergency response projects, our dedicated team offers rapid delivery, sewer bypass and flood response support, and tailored solutions to meet the unique demands of the area.
Our Pump Hire & Water Solutions Services
Pump Hire
From Plymouth's docks and urban infrastructure to the moorland of Dartmoor and out to Penzance and Land's End, our Saltash depot supplies diesel and electric pumps built for varied terrain.
Our engineers size every job to the site, from a single unit to a full multi-pump setup for a major scheme, backed by 24/7 emergency call-out across Devon and Cornwall.
Water Tank Hire (SelTank)
Summer tourism across the English Riviera and Cornwall's beaches brings a seasonal surge in demand on local water networks, and rural sites are often beyond easy access to permanent infrastructure. Our water tank hire solution, SelTank, gives utilities and contractors scalable storage for wastewater, stormwater, and sludge without the wait for a permanent tank.
Deployed in as little as a day and built to link together as volumes rise, SelTank keeps projects moving wherever you need it.
Sewer Bypass Pumping
Devon and Cornwall's coastline runs on both sides of the peninsula, ranging from working fishing harbours like Brixham and Newlyn to protected stretches of moorland. Our bypass systems keep flows moving safely through maintenance, repair, and upgrade works, whatever the setting.
Our Saltash team manages the full process, from flow calculations to on-site setup, with remote monitoring throughout.
Site Dewatering
Groundwater behaves very differently across Devon and Cornwall — Cornwall's mining legacy and china clay workings bring different challenges to Dartmoor's granite moorland. Our dewatering specialists assess the ground first and use proven wellpoint and pumped systems to keep excavations stable and safe.
Whether it's a housing development near Exeter or groundworks in the heart of Cornwall, we specify the right kit for the conditions in front of us, not a generic setup.
Water Treatment Solutions
Delivered with our sister company Siltbuster, our water treatment packages handle clarification, pH correction, and chemical or biological treatment before discharge — work that carries extra weight given how much of our region sits within protected landscapes, from Dartmoor National Park to Cornwall's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We support projects of any scale across Devon and Cornwall, keeping you compliant without slowing your project down.
Flood Response & Emergency Pumping
The Dart, Taw, Tamar and Torridge all carry real flood risk to the towns along their banks, and Cornwall's steep coastal valleys have seen flash flooding turn serious with very little warning.
Our Saltash team is on hand to support in such situations, providing emergency support across Devon and Cornwall.
