This week we have dusted off our patio and marquee hire heaters. It is difficult for a layman to choose the correct size heater with enough BTU output needed to make a difference. 1 kilowatt (Kw) = 3412.142 British Thermal Units (BTU/hr). With many years' experience and the largest selection of event heaters in London and Home Counties we should be your first port of call.

This week we have erviced marquee hire heaters ready for the Beast from the East.

The Boardmasters Music festival which is in its 15th year has been cancelled amid severe storm forecasts – just 12 hours before gates were due to open.

The event which is situated on the coast at Watergate Bay in Newquay, Cornwall – was set to be headlined by Wu-Tang Clan, Florence + The Machine, Razorlight and Foals and was due to play host to over 50,000 people.

Organisers said on Tuesday night that they were cancelling after speaking to police and others ahead of strong winds and heavy rain forecasted for Cornwall on Friday and Saturday.

Although the music acts were not due to start until the Friday, the festival's gates were due to open on Wednesday.

Furious fans vented their frustration on social media hitting out at the last-minute decision. Thousands of Festival-goers are now stranded in Cornwall with nowhere to stay, with hotels and campsites fully booked up at the height of the Summer holidays.

The Met Office has issued a Yellow Weather Warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms for much of England and Wales on Friday and said Cornwall faced strong winds with a chance of flooding and power cuts.

A Statement from Boardmasters Organisers was posted at 23.20 on Tuesday stating:

Due to forecasted severe weather conditions, specifically high winds, Boardmasters 2019 has been cancelled.

Following full consultation with all of the relevant authorities including independent safety advisors, Devon & Cornwall Police, emergency services and the Met Office, a final decision was made yesterday evening (6th August).

The safety of you, the fans and attendees, as well as performers and crew comes first and the potential risk is too severe for the event to go ahead at this time.

Refund advice will be shared as soon as possible - please follow Boardmasters’ social media for official updates.

We sincerely regret the disappointment to fans and apologise for any disruption caused to local businesses, performers and crew who were looking forward to Boardmasters as much as we were.

We required a large quantity of glasses for our corporate event in London. We found www.london-event-hire.co.uk who were able to accomodate our requirements in a very tight time schedule. Based on their efficient service and excellent prices we would recommend Peter and his team who worked through the night to complete the task - We were delighted with the quality of their crystal clear glasses and their outstanding service.

We received a call from a customer requiring several LPG water boilers. We confirmed we had stock and sent an urgent courier to deliver the water boilers.

Hi Sue,

I just wanted to say Thank you so much for arranging and delivering the heaters for our event last night.

They were wonderful and looked great on the patio, as well as keeping everyone warm on such a cold night!

With my Best wishes

Hi Helen

I wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for organising our glasses order - they were of great quality and worked perfectly on the day!

I have received a separate email form your accounts department about a few missing items - I have forwarded this onto our caterer to see if they can locate the missing glasses.

Many thanks again

We were very pleased with the equipment hired and found the process for hiring efficient, with delivery and collection seamless.
We would like to look into using your services in future. Please could you provide details for all items available and hire rates?

Hi There

Thank you - & thanks for a great service
