If you've got lots of chafing dishes you need to keep warm for a long time, this six-pack deal of deluxe chafing fuel is what you need.
Chafing fuel is non-flammable and non-combustible unless the wick is present, making it safer if some is accidentally spilled. It's got a visible flame too to help prevent accidental injury, and the container does not get hot to touch even when the flame is alight.
All of our chafing dishes are hired without chafing fuel. Please order separately if you need it. Do you need to order chafing fuel?
As an event hire company, consumables are treated a little bit differently than our other products. We have two kinds of consumable products at Expo Hire; the rules about them are as follows.
As gas bottles can be refilled both by the customer and ourselves, these are not treated as sold consumables. The hire price shown for these items are for the gas bottles themselves, which can then be refilled as and when a customer requires. All LPG bottles returned to us have to be replaced as per our gas safety agreements and therefore we cannot refund any customers for unused gas.
Water bottles are sold rather than hired and are delivered full and sealed. As these can be recycled we do pick up the empty bottles to help that process. Likewise, as chafing fuel pots cannot be refilled these are sold rather than hired.
Working out delivery costs is easy with Expo Hire; simply use our carriage calculator to find which of our branches is near to you. Tap your postcode in and it will confirm not only whether we cover that postcode or not, but also which of our 11 branches is closest to you and the cost for delivery from that branch, as well as the list of possible extra charges.
Once you have filled your basket and confirmed your delivery dates and postcode in the checkout, we will show you an itemised cost for delivery so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you place your order.
Want to know when your delivery is coming? You can track your driver using our real time maps on the day of delivery and collection. Simply enter your postcode and order number into our order tracking page and find out when our driver will be with you. You can also use the link we send you by automated text.

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 50m of the vehicle. If it takes the driver longer then you will be charged £12.50 per additional 15 minutes. If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately an additional carriage charge will be added to your order.
If there are likely to be issues with regards to location, staff onsite or the size of the order, then it's imperative you advise us BEFORE you place your order. Please note that our vans cannot go off-road onto grass or dirt areas, particularly when it has been wet due to the chances of the vehicle getting stuck.
As our drivers are multiple drop drivers, any issues with your delivery or collection of your order could result in issues for other customers. We ask that you are mindful of this when we are delivering or collecting your order.
