  • Online ordering with live stock checking

  • Transparent pricing with no hidden charges

Ordering Process

All ordering is handled through the Expo Hire website. Customers browse the catalogue, select the items they need, choose their hire dates and complete checkout. Stock availability is shown in real time, so there is no need to email or call to check whether items are free on a given date. Pricing is shown throughout, including the delivery charge for the customer's postcode before payment. More detail on how the process works is on the how to order page.

Expo Hire accepts bookings up to twelve months in advance. This is useful for event managers, caterers and venues managing a forward programme of events.

Delivery Coverage

Expo Hire delivers to England and Wales from its depot in Birmingham. Delivery and collection starts from £40, with the final charge shown at checkout based on distance. Deliveries run seven days a week with no weekend surcharges. Postcode coverage and estimated delivery charges are available on the delivery areas page.

Equipment Range

The hire catalogue is organised around what events require for dining, catering and seating:

  • Chairs — banqueting, Chiavari, folding, conference and stacking chair options
  • Tables — round, rectangular, trestle and poseur tables in multiple sizes
  • Linen — tablecloths, napkins and overlays in a wide range of colours and sizes
  • Crockery — plates, bowls and serving dishes suitable for large-volume service
  • Glassware — wine glasses, champagne flutes, tumblers, highballs and stemless options
  • Catering equipment — chafing dishes, urns, hotplates, cutlery and kitchen accessories

Stock levels are published on each product page. This allows customers to see at a glance whether there is enough quantity available for their event before committing to a booking.

Minor Damage Waiver

Expo Hire offers a minor damage waiver that covers accidental breakages up to a defined limit. This removes the need for a full item-by-item damage assessment on return. The waiver is available as an add-on during checkout, with the cost and terms displayed before the order is confirmed.

Send It Back Dirty

For crockery, cutlery and glassware, customers can choose the Send It Back Dirty option. This covers the cost of washing and means items can be returned without pre-cleaning. It is a popular option at high-volume events where washing up before collection is not viable.
