Making the most of your kitchen space is important if you are to run an efficient operation. Our collection of storage hire and preparation hire has been designed to help you do just that.

How can I get the most from storage and prep hire?

In a small kitchen, it’s important to make use of every inch of space possible, particularly if you expect to be busy. Our wire shelving for hire is perfect to help create storage space which makes use of vertical space as well as horizontal, offering you a smaller footprint for a wider range of things.

Our preparation tables come with and without splashbacks and are perfect for setting up a kitchen quickly to prepare and cook food. We also have racking and jackstacks available for storage of trays and plates once prepared.

Do I need to clean storage and prep hire before it is returned?

Worried about cleaning catering equipment hire after your occasion or event? If time is a factor or you know you’ve got too much else to de-rig, then our "send it back dirty" service is what you need.

Catering equipment can be hard to clean after a hire period of full usage – especially ovens and barbecues. Rather than breaking out the scourer, for 25% of the hire price you can leave it all to us. Just wipe off any food debris or liquid and we’ll sort the rest.

What care do Expo Hire take before delivery?

All of our storage hire and prep hire is cleaned and checked prior to dispatch. Some of it can be quite bulky and heavy, so please bear in mind that access is important. This means that products need to be able to fit through doors; that access be flat and without stairs as our drivers aren't allowed to go up or down them.

No need to worry about security deposits

There’s no need to worry about a damage deposit when placing an event hire order with Expo Hire. Instead, we run a free minor damage waiver scheme to cover minor damage or loss, so you don’t need to worry if you break the odd glass or plate. We do charge for excessive or negligent loss or damage at 10x the hire price. Please check our terms and conditions for full details.

How delivery and collection works

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. Heavy furniture like sofas or equipment like large fridges will require a second person in the van and this will be added in the checkout.

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.
