We used Bircherley Rentals to hire some Poster Boards for a corporate event, to display scientific posters. The event was in central London. From start to finish they were super easy to work with. The poster boards looked great. Would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a printer hire from Bircherley Rentals?

Every hire includes the printer unit itself, toner, delivery to your chosen location and full installation. When the machine requires networking, our team will configure the printer to your existing setup, wired or wireless, before the event begins. Collection is arranged for the end of the hire period and all printers arrive tested and ready to operate, meaning no technical setup is required. If anything needs adjusting on the day, our support team is available to assist either remotely or in person. We supply a full range of compatible consumables alongside every hire, so you will never find yourself running short of toner mid event. It is an end to end service, designed to remove any printing concerns from your event.

How quickly can a printer be delivered and set up?

We can usually arrange same or next day delivery across London and the UK, however, for international events, lead times vary, our logistics team can give you a more precise timeline when you get in touch. We recommend contacting us as early as possible for large scale events where multiple units or complex networking is involved. We understand that last minute requirements are a reality in event planning, and we do our best to accommodate urgent requests wherever possible. Our delivery drivers are experienced in working within venue access restrictions, load in windows and tight setup schedules, so the process is straightforward even under time pressure. If you are unsure how many units you will need or how long installation will take, our team is happy to advise based on your event size and expected print volumes.

Can I hire printers for a single day or a short event?

Yes, hire periods are flexible and can range from a single day through to several weeks or longer for extended office or media centre use. Whether you need equipment for a one day product launch or a month long temporary office, we can adjust the hire period to your requirements. Short term hires are popular for conferences, press days, award ceremonies and pop up workspaces where a permanent printer isn’t practical or cost effective. Longer hires suit project offices, film productions and exhibition build that runs over several weeks. Pricing is structured to reflect the duration of your hire, so you only pay for the time you need the equipment. Get in touch with our team with your dates and we will put together a straightforward quote with no hidden charges or unnecessary add ons.

Are eco-friendly printer options available?

They are, Bircherley Rentals offers energy efficient models across its fleet, and duplex (double-sided) printing can be configured as standard on request. If sustainability targets are part of your event planning brief, speak to our team when booking and we will match you to the most appropriate equipment. Many of our printers carry Energy Star certification, meaning they consume significantly less power during operation and drop into a low energy sleep mode when not in active use. For events with formal sustainability reporting requirements, we can provide model specifications and energy ratings to support your documentation. Reducing paper consumption through duplex configuration is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take, and our team will ensure it is set up correctly before the printer is handed over. Sustainable printing does not have to mean slower output or compromised quality.

Flexible and temporary workspaces are growing rapidly across the UK

The UK's flexible office market was valued at USD 3.84 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 6.48 billion by 2031, according to Mordor Intelligence. A separate report from Coworking Cafe found that the UK had 2,806 co-working and flexible office spaces by the end of Q2 2024, with London accounting for the largest share. Temporary and project based workspaces lack permanent printing infrastructure, making short term printer hire a logistical requirement rather than an exception. (1)

The UK printing industry generates £13.7bn in turnover — and most companies are small

According to the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF), which cross referenced data from the Office for National Statistics for its 2024 report, the UK printing industry generated £13.7bn in turnover in 2024 across roughly 6,800 companies employing 93,000 people. 75% of those companies employed fewer than ten people, which means most businesses in the sector lack the equipment capacity for high volume or event scale print output. For organisations running conferences, media centres or temporary offices, where sudden, significant print demand is normal, hiring professionally specified, high capacity equipment from a dedicated supplier is the practical alternative.

Office printing habits point to a real need for managed, fit-for-purpose equipment

Research cited by Zero Waste Week found that UK office workers use an average of 10,000 sheets of copy paper each year, with 68% of that classified as wasted output. Much of this traces back to poorly configured or unsuitable hardware, hiring a correctly specified printer, set up by a professional, matched to your actual print volumes and calibrated for duplex output where appropriate, is a straightforward way to reduce unnecessary waste at temporary workplaces and events.
