Commercial Hire: £45 p/h.

Wet/Messy/FX Hire requires an additional cleaning fee of £70.

 

Note: due to the nature of effects product mixing (using fine powders) extractor fans are in use at all times meaning a constant hum is present. There is also some noise from the industrial estate, we highly recommend evening and weekend filming if noise pollution may be an issue.
