How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sound Services aim to make hiring equipment as straightforward as possible. we offer a complete service where one of our experienced technicians will deliver, set up, and collect the equipment from your venue for an additional cost. Alternatively, equipment is available on a \u2018dry hire\u2019 basis for pick up and return yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our services are available in London and the surrounding areas, as well as further afield for larger projects. We can even provide a friendly and experienced technician to stay on site throughout your event to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. If you know the equipment that you require, you can browse the hire prices\u00a0here<\/a>. Once we receive your request we will send you an official quote by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not sure what equipment you need, require advice or have a large\/complex project then please get in touch with our friendly team who will be more than happy to help. You can submit an enquiry<\/a> or call the office on 0207 064 9272.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have received your quote and are happy with it, a deposit (min \u00a3100) is required to secure your booking with the remainder due at least a week before the start of the hire. There is usually an additional, refundable damage deposit to be paid in addition to the hire fee. This should be between \u00a3100-\u00a3300 depending on the value of the equipment hired and will be refunded to your card upon return of the equipment in good, working condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry hires can be collected from our south London warehouse Monday-Friday between the hours of 9:30am and 6pm. Saturday collections\/returns can often be arranged upon appointment. Weekend hires are charged at a one day rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three forms of ID are required upon collection\/delivery. You will also be required to sign a rental agreement confirming you take full responsibility for the equipment. ID is generally not required for hires undertaken by a limited company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What if the equipment I have hired doesn’t work?<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>

This is extremely unlikely! All equipment is tested before and after each hire and failures are rare. We have engineers available for telephone support 24\/7 and can usually arrange replacement equipment if the worse was to happen.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
