Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have an bouncy castle or inflatable set up indoors in a venue or hall?
Yes you may, provided there is enough space for the equipment. Here is a checklist to help guide you:
- When checking the height allowance for the unit remember to consider light fittings, beams and hanging signs.
- Also take into consideration the unit position within the space, in relation to fire exits/ kitchen/ toilets/ entrances.
- Inform us if there are any steps to manoeuvre prior to delivery. Some units are extremely heavy and will require extra man power to deliver if there are any steps. If we are not informed prior to delivery and are unable to manoeuvre unit this may result in the loss of the equipment for your event which you may still be charged for.

This will lead to the lost of your 20% booking fee, however we may give you an option to move it to a differrent date. If cancelled on the day of booking you may be charged the full price.
Can I hire bouncy castles overnight?
Hiring our equipment overnight comes with extra charges, please ask at the time of booking, you may hire over night if you have a secure garden i.e if your garden is at the rear of the property and you have a garden gate preferably with a lock.

It takes approximately 30 minutes to set up a bouncy castle and 30 minutes to dismantle it. However larger units will take longer.
Do you offer any multiple item asset discount if hiring more then one bouncy castle or equipment from you?
We offer package deals on most of our equipment, if you cannot find the assets you wish to hire in our packages tab then please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to offer a discounted rate when hiring two or more assets.
Does the Bouncy castle have to be on grass?
No our bouncy castle can be put on certain hard standing areas such as concrete or tarmac. However this does incur an additional £25 charge for the first time we do it at your address.
Bouncy castles by law require to be anchored down with at least 163kg of weight on each anchor point. Small bouncy castles have a minimum of 6 anchor points meaning a small castle requires 978kg of weight. On grass this is easily obtained by knocking large pegs into the ground. However obviously this cannot be done on hard standing. The only way to achieve this is by using sand bags however this is not viable to carry almost 1 tonne of weight per castle. Instead we drill 6 x 10mm holes and bolt the castle into the ground.
This is the only safe and realistic way to obtain the specified weight needed to ensure the castle is set up safely. Afterwards the holes are then filled with mastic to ensure the weather doesn’t damage your area.
We can also setup on slabs or block paving however this does mean you would need to remove the slabs or block where we need to place the anchor pegs.
Do I pay the same price however long I hire for?
Yes we charge the same price for 2 hours or for 8 hours unless otherwise stated on the individual items. As it is the same work involved, delivery costs, insurance etc.
