Local details worth recording

Questions to resolve before booking

Quick answers to what comes up most before you send an enquiry.

Does the venue change which portable event flooring will work?

Yes — door width, lift dimensions and floor protection rules can rule out an otherwise suitable piece before it ever reaches the room.

What if the supplier proposes a substitute close to launch date?

Agree acceptable alternatives in writing when the order is placed, so a late substitution matches what was actually approved.

How far ahead should this be booked?

As soon as the layout and quantities are set. Booking earlier gives more room to confirm the exact finish, colour and quantity you want for your date.
