How To Book

Booking equipment with us is easy:

2. If bookings are available, request one using the enquiry form ⬇️
3. If we’re fully booked, check again later, guided by the date suggested

For a number of reasons, booking demand generally exceeds our booking capacity. Regretably, it’s not viable to maintain a waitlist, so use this booking process, and don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions.

Notes

If you like what we do, please consider supporting us. This site is ad-free, unpaywalled, and far beyond what others are doing. It’s a lot of work, though, and your support is greatly appreciated.

We only offer paid services and, despite frequent requests, don’t offer free consultations or valuations, remote technical assistance, retail sales, or service data.

Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.
