When booking online you have to pay at least a deposit in advance by credit card, but you are welcome to pay the deposit and the full hire fee in advance. If you do not pay in advance, then the remainder is due for payment by cash or cheque upon delivery of the equipment. Our drivers are under instruction not to leave the equipment unless payment has been made in full so please ensure you have the means to pay on delivery as otherwise it puts our drivers in a difficult position. Note: Corporate events are an exceptions to this rule.
If you book online or give us an email address when you book on the phone then we will send you confirmation of your booking including all of details by email. If you do not have an email address then we will give you a confirmation number. You can then check the details of your booking online using this booking number and your name
through our website. We do not routinely send out confirmation letters
unless you specifically request one. An automatic text is sent 48 hours before your booking with the confirmed details on. Please double check we have all the details correct and we will then arrive at the time stated on the order to set up the equipment you have hired.
We CAN NOT setup on a hard surface outside but inside hires on a hard surface are no problem, please state that you wish to use the castle indoors when you book by using the drop down box. We will then ensure that we bring the appropriate equipment to anchor the bouncy castle for your hire (we use Sandbags indoors otherwise we will use 18" metal stakes to anchor the equipment).
When choosing a venue for an indoor hire please ensure you check the dimensions of your inflatable on our website and ensure that the ceiling is at least as high as this measurement (allowing clearance for lights, ceiling fans, etc across the width and depth of the inflatable). If you are in any doubt please call us as you will be liable for the cost of repairing any damage caused!
We supply safety mats to cover the ground 4 feet from all equipment entrances and exits as per the current HSE recommendations.
In light rain it is possible to use some of our bouncy castles. Please bear in mind that the castles are powered by an electric blower and while all connections are made using splash proof connectors and a RCD device is supplied to reduce the risk of electric shock, using any electrical equipment in heavy rain is not recommended. Also please bear in mind that the equipment will be become slippery when wet which may lead to accidents.
If the weather is bad on the day of your hire we will call you in the morning to dicuss your options, at this point you have the choice to cancel your booking which will result in loss of deposit paid. If you decide to go ahead then you are liable for the cost of the hire and we will retain any deposits paid if you change your mind. In some circumstances (torrential rain or high winds) we will cancel outdoor bookings on the grounds of safety and refund any money paid over the deposit amount or we can move your booking to another day subject to availabilty.
We have castles specificaly for outdoor use only in winter please call for details.
Inflatables can be used on slight slopes up to a drop of approximately 1ft in a distance of about 12ft. Please bear in mind that the surface needs to be reasonably flat as well (there should not be a variation of more than about 8" across the surface).
Our inflatables are all supplied with electric blowers. These require access to a standard 13amp socket to be inflated. Extension leads up to a length of 50m are supplied as standard. If you do not have access to power please contact us to arrange for hire of a generator.
Yes, our generators are supplied with a full tank of fuel which is enough to run them for approx 10hrs at full load.
We can supply crowd control fencing for public events along with a range of safety posters - please contact us for more details of how we can help your event.
