A single item can be hired for as little as £15, and a full uniform for example would cost just £55 for a whole week's hire (NB These prices apply to in-store hires only; Postal Hires have a difference price structure, please call us for details).
However it does depend on exactly what you need. Please call us on 020 7485 2442 and we'll be happy to talk you through what we have available and provide you with a price.
