Making a booking is a very simple process:
1) Decide which kit and services you require. Book online, give us a call, or email one of our experts.
2) We’ll get back to you with a quote via e-mail as soon as possible. All you need to do is read through the quote and confirm that the information is correct and as required.
3) As soon as you have confirmed the booking we will pop you over an e-mail to let you know the kit and services are reserved ready for you, along with our contact form and our Terms and Conditions.
Yes we can. We just need to know the address of where you want the kit delivered and we can provide you with a quote. When we do deliver, please ensure there is adequate parking at the destination for our vehicle. If we are required to park for a period of time then the cost of parking will need to be covered or permits provided. As with all companies in our industry, if any fines are incurred whist delivering or collecting equipment and adequate parking was unavailable then the fine will be the responsibility of the hirer.
Our preferred method of payment is via bank transfer and is typically required in advance of the booking with a deposit required to confirm the booking. We will consider other options such as cheque or cash on request.
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance up to £5 million. It is the responsibility of the hirer to provide adequate insurance cover for any equipment hired and also, their own public liability insurance in the event through their liability, any loss, damage or injury is caused whilst operating the equipment. We can assist you with this. Please read our Terms and Conditions.
If there is something in particular that you are looking for and can’t find it on our website, give us a call or send us an email.
Throughout your hire we give you full telephone support. Even if it’s a simple question we would rather you call and don’t be embarrassed to ask. If it turns out there is a problem with a piece of our equipment we will do our best to come back to the venue and sort it out for you free of charge.
This really depends on the equipment you have hired and we will advise exactly what type of power sockets are required prior to hiring. The minimum requirement would be one/two 13A single phase sockets for a small sound system hire, although for larger hires additional sockets or for certain lighting rigs a three phase power supply may be needed. We will determine the exact power requirements with you, based on your requirements, as well as liaise with the venue to ensure they can meet these requirements.
Needless to say this comes down to the type of equipment hired. A small simple PA system can take no more than an hour to install, set-up and demonstrate the use of (if supplied as dry hire), although we do request a set up time of at least 2 hours to be on the safe side. However if a larger system and/or lighting is needed, or we need to work around others, this can take considerably longer. Also, any of the following external factors that may influence set-up, such as event catering, staging, backdrops or any other services that may unduly affect the time to set-up the equipment.
We will work with you and assist in the development of your event plan to ensure that the equipment is delivered on time, installed on time, and is fully operational well before the commencement of the event itself. We are also more than happy to liaise with any other third parties, such as event organisers, bands that might have been hired, caterers and staging/power suppliers.

We generally cater for events for up to about 2,000 people. However, we treat every client with the same level of care, detail and professionalism. We also work in partnership with other production companies to facilitate larger events and have done so for events up to 10,000 people.

• What is the expected audience capacity
• Will the audience be seated or standing?
• What is the size of the venue or area of coverage?

• Is the application for speech or music?
