How Long Can I Keep the Bouncy Castle?
We try to deliver between 9am and 12noon and start picking up from between 5pm - 8pm, although arrangements can be made for longer or shorter periods of hire. 
Sorry but we no longer do overnight hires.

What happens if it rains on the day of hire?
All of our castles come complete with shower covers but these are not sufficient for heavier rain. The bouncy castle is not to be used if it gets too wet, as it becomes very dangerous. If it is likely to rain on the day of hire then you can cancel anytime up to 1 hour before delivery without incurring a charge.

Should I check the site and access to it?
Yes, please make sure we have plenty of access room. We need at least a 3 feet wide hall or passageway to move the bouncy castle into position. Please ensure that the site for the bouncy castle is clear and flat and that any overhanging trees, bushes etc are pruned back so as not to damage the castle. The site must be clear of sharp objects such as rocks and debris, large stones and animal waste. We do not erect our castles on hard surfaces, such as concrete, for safety reasons. The ideal surface would be grass. If we feel that the site is unsuitable we will not leave the bouncy castle.

How much room does a bouncy castle require?
This depends on the inflatable you have hired but, as a rule, they require at least 6 feet on the side where the blower is located, 3 feet on the other 2 sides and 6 feet on the front for access to the castle. At least 8 feet all around would be the ideal.

Can your castles go indoors?
Yes, our inflatables can go indoors. However, you must check the height of the inflatable that you want to hire is below the venue's ceiling height.

Are there any age limits?
Yes, our insurers will not allow anybody over the age of 11 on any of our bouncy castles, which means that they are designed and built with that age limit in mind. So please do not allow anyone over the age of eleven (11) years of age on the bouncy castle, as it can cause damage to the unit and that person would be uninsured. You (the hirer) then becomes liable if in the case of injury to any person or damage to the castle.

How much does the castle cost to run?
Each of our castles are inflated by an electric blower. (RCD adaptors are included for your safety). An average bouncy castle blower costs approximately 50p - £1 per day to run. We will need access to a standard three pin power point within 25 metres of the site, extension lead provided.

Can we collect the castle?
No, unfortunately our insurance cover does not allow you to collect and erect any of our bouncy castles.

Are your castles clean?
Yes, we maintain our castles to a very high standard. They are inspected and cleaned after every hire.

Do you provide instructions?
Our Terms and Conditions of Hire act as instructions for the safe use of our bouncy castles.

What are your payment terms?
Our terms of payment are cash on delivery. We do not have the facility to accept payment by credit card.

How soon can I book a castle?
The sooner the better! Our bouncy castles are available for hire throughout the year. We can get very busy, particularly in the summer, so it is always best to book early in order to avoid disappointment. We will send you confirmation of your booking by email or post and we will phone you a day or so before the day of hire to discuss your exact delivery requirements.

Do you deliver?
Yes, we provide a free delivery, set-up and collection service within our map area. We will deliver outside this area but there may be a small charge for this. Please ask for details before booking.

Does BumpyBumpy require a deposit?
No, we don't require a deposit from you but you may pay one if it is helpful to you or your organization to have formal paperwork confirming the booking. In this instance, you can pay a 10% deposit, please contact us for more details. Deposits will be repaid should you cancel before the hire date.

How do I book?
You can book by calling us on 07972 307 484. Alternatively, you can e-mail us by filling out the details on the booking page or via the contact page for general enquires.
We respond to all e-mails within 24 Hours, if urgent it is best to call.

Why do you only have a mobile number
This is to contact us only as we can 99% of the time answer the mobile as we will be out and about doing deliveries.
When you book we will send you confirmation either by post or E-mail this will contain a landline number for you to contact us on.

Does BumpyBumpy have insurance?
Yes, we have public liability insurance for your protection and peace of mind. This covers accident and injuries caused by our equipment failing or incorrect or unsafe installation. As the hirer, you are responsible for ensuring adult supervision of the inflatable at all times. Beware of companies that don't have insurance, you should ask to see a copy of the policy. We ask you to read and sign our Terms and Conditions of Hire before we release the bouncy castle into your care. Please take the content seriously. Most of it is common sense.
