Patio heater hire for outdoor events across England and Wales.
Expo Hire supplies gas and electric patio heaters for outdoor events across England and Wales. Order online with live pricing and stock — no deposit required. Delivery calculated by road distance from your nearest depot. Some customers search for patio heater rental rather than hire — it is the same service.
Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.

Gas heaters produce more heat and suit open outdoor spaces where there is no power supply nearby. They run on propane cylinders (not included). Electric heaters need a 13A socket and are the cleaner option for semi-enclosed areas or venues with strict fire safety requirements.
For a covered terrace or smoking area next to a building, electric is usually easier. For a garden, rooftop, or open marquee courtyard, gas gives more output.
For open outdoor areas, one mushroom or pyramid heater covers a standing group of around 15–20 people. For seated outdoor dining, plan one heater per table. In cold weather or on exposed sites, increase this by 50%.
For marquees and enclosed tents, see our marquee heater hire page — space heaters are a better fit for those situations.
We deliver to outdoor event sites, private gardens, venues, and rooftop spaces across England and Wales from 11 regional depots. For London delivery, see our patio heater hire London page.
