Desks, chairs, screens, and office equipment for temporary workspaces. Useful for construction site offices, film productions, and pop-up management facilities.
Temporary office setups come up across a wider range of situations than most people expect: construction site management offices, film and TV production facilities, disaster recovery spaces, pop-up event management offices, and any situation where a team needs a working environment for days or weeks rather than permanently.
\n\nWe hire rectangular deluxe desks and a kidney-shaped reception desk alongside mesh office chairs. The kidney desk suits a reception or customer-facing position; the rectangular desks work for working teams. Office partitions and screens are available to divide open space into separate work areas or to create a degree of privacy in a large temporary room.
\n\nWe hire lockable black office cupboards for document storage and secure equipment storage in temporary settings.
\n\nThe temporary office range includes a commercial 30-litre water boiler, a cold water dispenser with 15-litre water bottles, a commercial coffee percolator, and a Siemens bean-to-cup coffee machine. Cups, saucers, and vacuum flasks are available alongside. For a team working long hours in a temporary facility, a proper coffee and water setup is worth including from the start.
\n\nConstruction site offices, location shoots, temporary HR or recruitment facilities, event management back-office setups, and any situation where a permanent office is not available and the team needs more than a folding table and a laptop.

The standard temporary office layout puts desks against walls or in island clusters of four. Allow 4 to 5 square metres per workstation including chair clearance and circulation. A 10-person temporary office needs approximately 45 to 50 square metres.
Screen dividers between desks reduce noise and give each workstation a defined boundary without requiring fixed partitions. Expo Hire supplies screens and dividers alongside desks and chairs from a single delivery.
Expo Hire supplies the furniture — desks, chairs, and storage. IT infrastructure (computers, networking, power sockets) is a separate provision. Confirm power outlet positions in the temporary space before booking desks, so cable runs are planned before the furniture arrives.
Temporary offices for general administrative use need a different setup from exam halls. Office desks are larger (typically 1200mm x 600mm) and workstations need power access. Exam desks are smaller (600mm x 450mm) and need specific spacing. Read the exam furniture section for education-specific setups.
