About Earley
Earley is a town in Berkshire, located three miles south and east of Reading centre. It sits four miles northwest of Wokingham. The University of Reading acquired its Whiteknights Campus site in 1926, which straddles the border between Reading and Earley. While Earley largely appears as a 19th and 20th-century town, remnants of its older past remain. These include the Grade II* listed Foxhill House, now the University's School of Law.
Expo Hire Thames Valley delivers event equipment across Earley and the surrounding areas. We supply for student events at the University of Reading's Whiteknights Campus, private parties in local community halls, and corporate functions at venues like the Holiday Inn Reading South.
Key Equipment Categories for Earley Events
We stock a range of equipment suitable for many event types in Earley:
Patio Heater Hire to Earley
The unpredictability of British weather can make hosting an outdoor event a challenge but you can at least be sure to keep your guests warm with patio heater hire. Event organisers rent patio heaters from us throughout the year so that they are less reliant on good weather. We deliver patio heaters for hire throughout Berkshire, South Oxfordshire and Surrey.
We offer two kinds of outdoor patio heater hire; electric and LPG. Electric patio heaters are great solutions when it’s a specific enclosed space to heat up as they provide a focused heat from their lamp. If it’s an outdoor space then LPG patio heater hire is a much better answer as these produce much more heat in a radial pattern.

We’ve built up a fair old bit of experience in patio heater hire and learning from this we really think we have the best gas patio heaters for hire on the market. They’re all easy to start and are fuel efficient so you get value for money. We also supply 13kg LPG canisters separately so you don’t need to worry about getting hold of fuel.
For very large spaces we recommend our space heaters for hire. These are a much more powerful version of a gas heater and kick off a tremendous amount of heat which can warm up a much larger amount of space.
Fridge Hire to Earley
Refrigeration is a necessity if cold drinks or food is being served at your next event or occasion, and sometimes what is already is in place is not sufficient. We work with commercial kitchens as well as with various events throughout Berkshire and Surrey to help with fridge hire needs. Our expert drivers deliver fridges for hire to venues throughout the Thames Valley area, helping to make sure that event organisers have all the fridge space they require.
We offer a huge selection of fridges for hire at Expo Hire Thames Valley. For example, our upright display fridges are one of our most frequently hired products we have on offer; going out on hire to places as diverse as retailers, exhibitors and event organisers. We also have in stock double door bottle coolers which are great as an under-counter fridge at bars and the like. For those customers who need more specialist products, we also have wine fridges, countertop fridges and chilled drink dispensers available.

We understand that commercial kitchens need space to not only store and chill food but also to prepare food. To help supply this need, we offer counter fridges with integrated workspaces which can be wheeled quickly into position with ease. At the other end of the spectrum, our extra large double door fridges are just what is needed for kitchens with large storage requirements.
Oven Hire to Earley
Getting a temporary or commercial kitchen set up on a budget can be a difficult thing to do, particularly if a customer has not had to hire equipment before. Oven hire is one of the bigger components of any kitchen and getting it right is important.
At Expo Hire Thames Valley we offer a choice of both LPG and electric ovens for hire; deciding which is the right one to order depends on the situation it is being hired into. Electric ovens for hire are for indoor kitchen areas where they can be used to bake, roast and grill food with ease. However, because electric ovens need lots of power they cannot be used outdoors. The wattage required by electric ovens to run is too much for temporary power supplies such as generators and extension leads and these will trip out when used with an electric oven. The correct choice for outdoor kitchens are LPG ovens like our six burner oven as they use LPG bottles to fuel the oven’s powerful burners. However, LPG ovens are not designed to be used indoors due to the potential lack of ventilation of exhaust fumes.
Hiring out high quality stock has always been something that we pride ourselves upon and because of this we frequently replace our ovens with new ones. This is particularly important with ovens which are often the main workhorse of a kitchen and allows our customers to order from us with peace of mind.

Linen Hire to Earley
Linen hire might seem like a fussy detail for some but often it’s an integral part of an event’s details. People rent linen to ensure that their furniture matches the aesthetic or colour theme of an event, which is particularly important for functions like wedding receptions and banquets.
We offer linen for hire in many different colours, shapes and sizes to ensure we can help as many people as possible. This can make the choice a little confusing, but we have used our experience in this field to help ensure that it’s actually easy to get your linen order correct.

All of the product pages in our linen hire category have descriptions which include which size table each piece of linen works best with. We’ve also added linen recommendations to our table pages to help ensure you can order both together with confidence.
