Book your deluxe chafing fuel - 6 hour burn time hire online. Each 0.30kg tin provides steady heat for catering setups. No deposit required.

Professional caterers and venue managers require dependable heat sources for buffet service. Booking your deluxe chafing fuel - 6 hour burn time hire gives you the exact fuel capacity you need for extended corporate events and long wedding receptions. Each 0.30kg tin contains a non-flammable liquid gel that burns steadily without producing smoke or odours. You place the tin directly under your chafing dishes to keep hot food at safe serving temperatures throughout the entire service period.
Large-scale hospitality events demand precise timing and temperature control. You pair these fuel tins with our catering equipment hire to build complete buffet stations. The six-hour duration covers most standard event schedules, from the initial guest arrival through to the final servings. Caterers operating in marquees or temporary venues benefit from this self-contained heat source, as it removes the need for electrical power at the food stations. You position the tins beneath the water pans, light the wick, and the gel provides a steady flame.
Organising a multi-course buffet requires accurate equipment calculations. Securing your deluxe chafing fuel - 6 hour burn time hire alongside your table hire keeps your entire catering order in one place. Expo Hire operates a fully online system, showing live stock levels and pricing directly on the screen. You pay exactly £3.00 ex-VAT per tin, and we require no security deposit on any order. Our system calculates transport costs from £40 ex-VAT based on your road distance from the nearest location.
Managing event logistics takes time, so we keep the ordering process straightforward. You track your delivery vehicle live on the day of arrival and receive an SMS with your estimated time of arrival. Every order includes a free minor damage waiver for complete peace of mind. Prices display live on the product page. Add the necessary number of tins to your basket and confirm your dates online.

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.
