Deliver, not just dispatch

Tight dates.
Stage-ready stock.

You need scenic elements for a run, not a storeroom full of set pieces you own for the other fifty weeks of the year. Hire gives you stage-ready stock for the dates you actually book, built in our workshop, checked and prepped before it leaves the floor.

Tell us the show and the dates and we will quote the stock, get it there, and take it back when the show wraps. It is one part of the full sets, scenery and props offer, and if hire turns into something permanent there is a path to a custom-built set of your own.

The hire fleet

Different shows,
different stock.

The fleet covers the structural staging plus the scenic stock most shows ask for. Here is what we hold, what each one does, and how to spec the one your show needs.

Every element is built in the workshop, inspected on return and made stage-ready before the next hire. Need it built to your own design instead? See set construction.

Flats & Walls · Timber / steel frame

The face of the set.

Stock flats, walls and hard panels, pulled from the workshop. Framed in timber or steel, dressed and painted to read clean from the seats, and braced and fixed the way the crew expects. The workhorse of the fleet, in the quantities a full set needs.

Rostra & Risers · Modular

Levels, for the run.

Modular rostra, risers and platforms in standard heights, when you want the levels for a season rather than a lifetime. Built to take the load and lock together fast, with legs and ramps to match. We confirm the heights and the deck finish on the stock you book.

Set Pieces · Dressed

The build, already done.

Dressed scenic builds from stock - doors, windows, columns, trucks and standalone pieces, finished and ready to stand. Built in the workshop to read up close, and engineered to move on cue where the show needs it, so the look lands without the build time.

Staging Hardware · Fixings

What holds it all together.

The hardware that makes a set stand and move: braces and weights, castors and brakes, hinges, cleats and stage screws. Hired alongside the pieces so the crew has what they need to rig, run and reset, with no last-minute hardware-store run.

Show Decks · Flat / raked

A clean stage floor.

Modular show deck for an even, level performing surface across the stage, flat or raked. Built to take the traffic of a run and finished to read clean under light, laid tight so there is no flex or seam underfoot.

That is the core of the fleet. We also hold treads and ramps, ground rows, trucks and specialty scenic stock, plus the fixings to run them as standard. Sizes are quoted on request, so tell us the show and the dates and we will confirm the stock, or have it built to your own design.

The scenic stock and its standard fixings. Delivery, installation and pack-down are quoted separately; ask when you enquire and we will fold them into your quote.
As soon as your dates are set. Stock moves fastest through school production seasons and touring bump-ins, so the earlier your dates reach us, the more of the fleet is still open. Send them through and we confirm what is available and hold it against your run.
