Common questions
What kind of kit do you take on?
Primarily professional audio and lighting — PA speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, mixers, moving lights, LED fixtures, haze machines, stands, cabling. Kit needs to be in reliable working order and, where mains-powered, PAT tested. Not sure if yours fits? Apply or drop us a message and we'll be straight with you.
What percentage do I receive?
The standard split is 80% of your kit's hire rate to you, with 20% retained by Demo Ltd — covering admin, platform, and handling costs. Your rate is agreed upfront at onboarding and shown on every remittance. No hidden deductions.
Does my kit need to be PAT tested?
Yes — all mains-powered equipment needs a valid PAT certificate. If you don't have one, we can arrange PAT testing as an add-on service. Items tested by Demo Ltd get a certified badge on the hire site, which clients respond well to for corporate and event work.
Who sorts delivery and collection?
You do. We confirm job details and coordinate timing with you in advance — you arrange getting the kit to the right place. For some jobs we have our own transport running and we'll flag if your kit can come along.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. List what you like, withdraw what you like, take a break any time. We just ask for reasonable notice when kit becomes unavailable so we don't commit it to a confirmed job.
What if something gets damaged?
All hires run under our standard terms. We'll walk through the damage and liability policy at onboarding — it's designed to be fair and clear, not to catch anyone out.
Drop us your details and we'll come back to you directly — no commitment required.
