1. General Questions
How do I choose my rental furniture?
You can choose which items of furniture you wish to rent when selecting from either our Designer Range or Traditional Range - our Short-Term Range is fixed. Items from our Designer Range can be accessed via the online Furniture Rental Gallery, however, our Traditional Range is bespoke so you need to get in touch with us directly. In addition, you can visit our showroom where we have a number of items on display.

Do you have other items that are not shown on your website?
Because of the large number of items that we have available for hire, not all of them are displayed on the web site. We also purchase new items on a regular basis, some of which are periodically uploaded. In addition, with advance notice we can source an even larger range of furnishings directly from our suppliers.

Are rental items insured?
The rental items are not insured. This is because insurance cover is unavailable where we have no jurisdiction to ensure that the required conditions of the policy are met. As such, you are responsible for insuring the goods, however, a total loss waiver can be arranged upon request.

Do I have to pay a deposit?
Yes. We hold a security deposit against damage or loss incurred during the hire period. The deposit is returned following the collection of the rental items. No deductions are made against 'fair wear and tear'.

How and when do I pay?
Payments can be made by way of bank transfer, cheque, or credit card, but please note that credit cards are subject to a 2.5% handling fee. Payments are required quarterly in advance with your initial payment to include the deposit.
