Spread the cost of dust suppression systems from £3,000 to £60,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease or refinance;
Yes, dust suppression systems are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £3,000 to £60,000, and most deals are written over 12–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Dust suppression and extraction systems qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000 for qualifying plant and machinery. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances on the asset; lease payments are generally deducted as an operating expense.
Dust suppression and local exhaust ventilation is bought by every stone processor cutting, grinding or polishing natural or engineered stone, since these processes produce respirable crystalline silica dust that must be controlled at source rather than managed after the fact. Water suppression at the cutting head and local exhaust extraction are typically specified alongside a new saw, router or polisher, but existing workshops also buy standalone extraction to retrofit older machines, add a second extraction point, or replace a system that's reached the end of its filter life. Buyers finance this equipment because it's frequently bought at the same time as the cutting machine it serves, and bundling the two into one agreement is simpler than a separate cash purchase; retrofits to an existing workshop are financed on their own where they're not tied to a new machine purchase. Replacement or upgrade is usually driven by adding capacity as the workshop grows or by moving from a single-machine unit to a workshop-wide ducted system, rather than the equipment failing, since fans and ducting are durable; filter cartridges are the routine consumable.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
