A package built around the brief.

Wet hire combines studio space with agreed equipment and support. It is a useful choice when you want to reduce external kit logistics or need help planning a setup. The quote sets out what is included.

Choose the light for the work.

Plan flash for photography, continuous lighting for filming, or a combination for mixed deliverables.

Match the grip and modifiers.

Think beyond the lamp: stands, frames, diffusion, grids, triggers and mounts all need to work together.

Agree the people and preparation.

Your questions

Useful answers before you book.

Does wet hire mean every item and every crew role is included?

Your wet-hire package includes the equipment and support agreed in your quote. A photographer, director, camera operator, gaffer, sound recordist or post-production service is included only when specifically arranged.

Can we mix our own kit with studio equipment?

Yes. Bring your own kit at no extra charge and add the in-house items you need. Send the combined list so the team can check compatibility.

What is available for photography and filming?

The on-site catalogue includes Profoto and Broncolor flash, Aputure and other continuous lighting, modifiers, grip, frames and production accessories. Browse the categorised equipment list.

Can I bring my own equipment?

Yes. You can bring your own kit with no extra charge for doing so. Ground-floor shutter access makes loading easier. Send large-item dimensions and power requirements before the day.

Is studio hire suitable for a first-time user?

Yes. Tell us your brief, experience and what help you need. We can discuss the right duration, equipment and support before you book.

How much does hire cost?

Your quote depends on dates, hours, chosen setup, equipment, preparation and support. Send your brief for availability and a tailored price; the team will confirm all inclusions and booking terms.

Can we visit before booking?

Ask to arrange a recce. It is particularly useful for a large set, vehicle shoot, complex rig, dialogue recording or virtual-production workflow.
