Overview

Professional AV equipment hire in London

AV Hire London is an audio visual company based in the capital, supplying audio visual equipment hire to businesses, agencies, venues and private clients. Whether you need a single microphone for a meeting or a full production for a conference of several hundred delegates, we have the kit and the people to deliver it.

Our AV equipment hire covers everything from sound and microphones to lighting, LED screens, projectors and staging. Because we own our equipment outright and keep it in our own London warehouse, we are not relying on last minute sub-hire when you book. Every item is tested before it leaves us, so it works when it matters.

Most clients hire from us because they want one supplier who can handle the whole technical side. That means a single point of contact for your audio visual hire, a clear quote with no padding, and an experienced technician on site to run the equipment so you can focus on your guests.

Planning your hire

What to think about before you book

A little planning makes AV equipment rental in London far smoother. These are the things worth sorting early.

Your venue and access. Tell us the venue and we will check load-in, lift access and parking. Many London venues have tight delivery windows, so the earlier we know, the better we can plan around them.

Power. Larger sound, lighting and screen setups need enough power in the right places. We will work out what your event needs and flag anything the venue has to provide.

Setup and timing. We usually like to rig and test before your guests arrive, sometimes the evening before. A clear schedule means no rushing and time to fix anything that comes up.

Do you need a technician? For simple kit you may be happy with dry hire. For anything with several inputs, live speakers or a running order, having a technician on site is the difference between a smooth event and a stressful one.

Delivery and collection. We deliver, install and collect across London and the wider UK. Just give us the postcode and the access details and we will handle the logistics.

If you are not sure what your event needs, that is fine. Most people are not AV experts, and we would rather talk it through and quote the right setup than the most expensive one. You can read more about choosing equipment from industry bodies such as PLASA, the UK trade association for the event technology sector.

FAQs

Audio visual equipment hire questions.

What is audio visual equipment hire?

It means renting the sound, lighting, screen and staging equipment you need for an event, rather than buying it. We can supply the equipment on its own, or with technicians who set it up and run it for you.

How much does AV equipment hire in London cost?

+

It depends on the equipment, the crew and how long you need it. A small package costs far less than a full conference production. Send us your date, venue and plan and we will return a clear written quote, usually the same day.

Do you deliver across London?

+

Yes. We deliver, install and collect right across Greater London and the surrounding area, from the City and Canary Wharf to the suburbs and the commuter belt.

Can I hire equipment without a technician?

+

Yes. We offer dry hire if you have your own crew. For anything beyond simple kit we recommend at least one technician, so there is always someone to handle issues on the day.

What events do you cover?

+

Corporate events, conferences, exhibitions, awards dinners, product launches, AGMs, hybrid events and live productions, plus private events. If it needs sound, light or screens, we can help..

Is your equipment insured and tested?

+

We carry public liability insurance and PAT test every item before it goes out. We can supply documentation if your venue requires it.

How far in advance should I book?

+

The earlier the better, especially in peak season. Because we hold stock in our own warehouse, we can often help with short notice requests too. Just call us.

Do you only cover London?

+

London is our home and where most of our work is, but we also supply audio visual equipment hire across the wider UK. Ask us about your location.
