Add items to your basket, enter your delivery dates and postcode, and pay online. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, dispatched from your nearest depot. On delivery day you get a live tracking link and SMS ETA. You choose morning or afternoon for delivery and collection. Full ordering guide.
Weekend events do not fit a Monday to Saturday transport model. Sunday delivery and Sunday collection let you match the van schedule to the event schedule, which keeps venues clear and cuts extra hire days.
This matters for weddings, festivals, hotel functions and sports hospitality where the room turns over on Sunday. You book the date in the same way as any weekday order.
Expo Hire sends a live tracking link on delivery day so the venue team can see the van approach in real time. That removes the cycle of phone calls between planners, site staff and the driver.
Tracking helps on city centre jobs, venue docks and sites with tight access windows. Staff can stay on task until the vehicle is close.
Most hire companies tie up extra cash in a refundable deposit. Expo Hire does not. You pay for the hire and transport, then keep the rest of the budget free for the parts of the event that still need funding.
This helps schools, charities, public sector teams and corporate buyers who need a clear cost before they raise the purchase order.
Minor wear happens on busy event sites. Expo Hire includes a free damage waiver, so clients do not see the usual two or three per cent add-on that many hire firms place on every order.
The waiver keeps quoting clean and makes it easier to compare the real cost of one supplier against another.
Crockery, glassware and cutlery do not need to go back washed. The team clears the tables, racks the items and returns them in the crates provided.
This service saves labour at the end of a dinner, wedding or charity gala. Breakdown crews can strike the room instead of standing over sinks.
Live chat runs seven days a week from 8am to 8pm. You can check stock rules, product sizes and transport points without leaving the basket.
That speed helps when a client changes numbers or when a venue asks for exact dimensions before sign-off.
Large events often need stock ring-fenced months ahead of the live date. The large order deposit scheme lets you secure the inventory before the final guest count lands.
It suits festivals, public sector tenders, exam seasons and repeat corporate dates where the core stock must stay reserved.
Some services form part of the standard order, such as no security deposit, free damage waiver and live tracking. Sunday delivery uses the standard transport rate, and the basket shows any charge before you pay.
Yes. A single order can include Sunday delivery, live tracking, the free damage waiver and the send-it-back-dirty option if your basket qualifies. The service mix depends on the items and dates you choose.
The basket and checkout pages show the options linked to your dates, postcode and products. If a service needs a separate page, each link below explains the rules in more detail.
