Yes, jetting units 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 £15,000 to £150,000, and most deals are written over 24–72 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.

Check EligibilityA jetting unit is a moveable item of plant, even though it's built onto a vehicle chassis, and the combined body and chassis normally qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, letting you set the full cost against taxable profits in the year of purchase up to the prevailing AIA limit, which your accountant can confirm. Hire purchase preserves this allowance for the buyer from day one; finance lease and operating lease payments are instead deducted as a revenue expense as they're paid.
Jetting units are bought by drainage contractors, groundworks firms and utility subcontractors, ranging from a small local drainage company running one van-mounted unit to a larger contractor servicing water company and council term contracts across a fleet. Because a jetting unit combines a vehicle chassis with an expensive purpose-built body, most buyers finance the whole assembly on one agreement rather than funding the chassis and jetting equipment separately. Work for water companies and local authorities typically runs on long payment terms, so cash flow, not the headline interest rate, is usually the deciding factor in choosing finance over paying outright. Replacement is generally driven by chassis mileage and MOT life rather than the jetting pump wearing out, since the pump and pipework can often be refurbished onto a newer chassis. A steady used market exists for jetting units from established manufacturers, which supports asset-backed finance for smaller contractors.
