Safety Comes First

At Gedling Bouncy Castle Hire, safety is our top priority. We take pride in delivering clean, well-maintained equipment and ensuring every setup is completed safely and professionally.

All inflatable equipment is tested in accordance with BS EN 14960 and carries a valid PIPA tag or equivalent certification where applicable. We hold £5 million Public Liability Insurance, giving you complete peace of mind.

All equipment is installed by trained staff and inspected during setup to ensure it is safe and ready for use. Our full setup, operation and safety procedures can be found within our method statements below.

Supervision & Responsibilities

Responsibility for supervising equipment depends on whether operational staff are included with your booking.

Where Staff Are Booked

Our staff will be responsible for:

  • Safe operation of the equipment
  • Monitoring wind conditions for outdoor bookings
  • Supervising participants

Where Equipment Is Hired Without Staff

Responsibility for supervision and wind monitoring passes to the hirer.

In these cases, we provide:

  • A wind meter for outdoor bookings
  • A PDF safety pack including operating instructions and emergency procedures
  • A full safety briefing on delivery

Staffing

If required, trained staff can be provided to supervise equipment.

  • £50 per hour per staff member
