Questions about marquee hire and assembly in Durham

How much should I expect to pay for marquee hire and assembly in Durham?

Prices vary with the job. Your price come down to the size of the job and access, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.

Do you work in Brandon and other parts of Durham?

Yes. Our service covers all of Durham, including Brandon, Bowburn, Crossgate Moor, Shincliffe, Gilesgate and Framwellgate Moor, as well as Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Hartlepool.

What is the difference between a frame marquee and a pole marquee?

A frame marquee has an aluminium structure with no internal poles, so it can go on any surface and gives a clear open floor. A traditional pole marquee uses tall internal poles and guy ropes, has a classic peaked look and needs a grassed area with extra room around it for the ropes.
