Exam Furniture Hire for Universities
Expo Hire supplies furniture for university and college examinations across England and Wales. Invigilated exams need desks or tables at regulation spacing, upright chairs and an invigilator's table. We deliver to examination halls, sports halls and large spaces converted for assessments, working around the exam timetable for delivery and collection.
Most universities use folding tables or lightweight trestle tables for exam halls — they move quickly, store flat and reset the room for other uses after the sitting. Our folding chairs suit exam conditions: upright, no arms, easy to arrange in rows and stack after use. For the invigilator's position, a standard table and chair at the front of the room covers most requirements. We have supplied up to 1,000 units for a single university sitting across multiple simultaneous locations.
University exam timetables run in concentrated periods — typically January and May to June. Hire equipment gives institutions the capacity they need for those weeks without storing furniture year-round. Equipment delivers the day before the first sitting and we collect the day after the last exam, or on whatever schedule suits the timetable.
We have supplied examination furniture for sittings of up to 1,000 units. See the university exam furniture case study for detail on how we handled a large multi-location booking.
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.
