Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before placing your hire order.
Ordering & Delivery
How long can I keep the hired items?
Our standard hire period covers supply on one working day, use on the following day and return on the third working day. Extended hire periods can be arranged in advance. Please contact us on 01 294 3111 for more information.
Can I collect my items or do you deliver?
You can collect your order from our Sandyford depot or choose our delivery service. Delivery and collection within Dublin starts from €85 ex VAT. Outside Dublin, delivery is calculated on a per kilometre basis.
Do you deliver on Saturdays?
Yes. Saturday deliveries usually take place between 8:30am and 12:30pm (excluding January). Alternative delivery times can also be arranged.
Can I book a delivery time slot?
Yes. We can arrange either a morning or afternoon delivery and your driver will phone approximately one hour before arrival.
Can I amend my order?
Yes. Orders can usually be amended up to 24 hours before delivery, subject to stock availability.
Returns & Care
Do I need to wash everything before returning it?
No. Simply rinse plates, crockery, cutlery and glasses to remove food and drink residue. Return them in the racks provided and we'll take care of the washing. Linen can be returned as used.
Do you have a minimum order?
No. You can hire as little as one table or one chair. Crockery and cutlery are hired in multiples of 10, while glassware is supplied by the rack.
Can I split a rack of glasses?
Unfortunately not. Glassware is hired by the rack quantity to ensure safe transport and storage.
What happens if I break something?
Replacement charges apply for lost or damaged items. The replacement value of each item is listed on your hire document.
Do your delivery crews set up the equipment?
Standard delivery does not include setup. However, setup can be arranged for selected items for an additional charge.
Planning Your Event
How much space do I need for a table?
As a guide, allow approximately 2ft (60cm) around each side of the table to comfortably accommodate chairs and guests.
How many people can sit at a table?
This depends on the table size. We've created a dedicated Table Linen Sizes & Seating Capacity guide to help you choose the correct table for your event.
Can you recommend a caterer?
Absolutely. We work with some of Ireland's leading caterers and event professionals. Please call us on 01 294 3111 or visit our Event Partners page.
Do you rent marquees?
We don't hire marquees ourselves, but we're happy to recommend trusted marquee suppliers through our Event Partners network.
