Can I collect & return items myself?
Yes, collection & return of hired items can be arranged for some of our smaller items
​
What is the hire period?
We aim to deliver hired items to your venue the day prior to your event, & collection the day after your event. The same timescales apply for hired items collected from our store. Depending on other bookings, this can be negotiable. However, if you require extended hire, there may be additional charges

There is no minimum hire for collection of hired items
Do you require a deposit?
A non-refundable 25% deposit will be required upon booking to secure hire items for your event date. Hire of items totalling £50.00 or less will require full payment at the time of booking
What is the booking process?
Once the items you wish to hire have been confirmed, we will send you an itemized quote invoice. The non-refundable 25% deposit is then required to secure our hire items for your date. The remaining invoice balance is then required no later than 30 days prior to your event date. Please note: items are not reserved until your deposit has been received
The swing
As beautiful as it is, our handcrafted larch-wood swing is a very heavy, solid prop. Therefore, when delivering & collecting this item, we do require the help of four strong people (or a tractor!) to offload it from our trailer. Please take this into consideration upon reserving this item
Do you require a damage deposit?
We do not require a damage deposit. We trust our hire items will be taken care of when in the hands of our customers. We also understand that accidents do happen so we appreciate being informed of any damage or breakages on collection/return of our hire items
Can we view the props?
We don't have a showroom, but all of our hire items can be viewed, by prior appointment, at our store
Can you source items?
We are always looking to add items to our hire collection & portfolio, therefore if there is something you would like that we currently do not offer, please let us know. We will be happy to try & source specific items that may also appeal to other customers to hire in the future
Is Heather & Hire VAT registered?
No, we are not VAT registered, so there are no hidden costs
