Book your chafing fuel - 2 hour burn time hire online. Each 12-pack contains non-toxic ethanol tins producing a clean, smokeless flame for catering.
You receive a 12-pack of metal tins containing a non-toxic ethanol blend. Booking your chafing fuel - 2 hour burn time hire gives your catering team a reliable heat source for buffet services. Each tin produces a clean, smokeless, and odourless flame. This keeps hot food at the correct serving temperature throughout your meal service.
Every pack weighs 2.50kg and contains twelve individual units. The ethanol formula burns steadily for two hours per tin. Professional caterers rely on this specific duration for standard lunch services, corporate banquets, and evening receptions. You place the metal tins directly under your chafing dishes and light the wick. The flame burns without producing unpleasant fumes or residue. This prevents odours from interfering with the dining environment. Once the service concludes, you extinguish the flame and dispose of the empty metal containers.
Large-scale dining events require consistent heat sources. You pair these fuel cells with your catering equipment hire to maintain food safety standards. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade equipment to professional event organisers, independent caterers, and venue managers across England and Wales. We require no security deposit on your order, freeing up your budget for other event necessities. You manage your entire booking through our website without making a single phone call. Our system accepts orders 24 hours a day.
Transporting catering supplies requires careful timing. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on the road distance from your nearest depot. Our transport team operates from 11 regional depots, bringing your supplies directly to your venue. You receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA on the morning of your delivery. This system lets you coordinate your staff and focus on setting up your table hire arrangements. Warehouse self-collection operates Monday to Friday between 7am and 3pm from our Birmingham head office.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
