Terms and Conditions

Please read through our terms and conditions below before you hire from us at Cardiff Bouncy Castle Hire Note: Terms of service are legal agreements between a service provider and a person who wants to use that service it is therefore very important that you read these in detail. The person booking must agree to abide by the terms of service in order to use our services.

Bookings and cancellations Policy

  • To secure bookings we require a booking fee (£20). Payable by debit/credit card, bank transfer or PayPal. Your deposit is a non-refundable booking fee covering the administrative costs we incur in processing your reservation in the event that you may cancel.
  • The £20 booking fee contributes towards the payment of your final balance. For example, if your booking totals £120 then £100 will remain payable on the day of your booking.
  • The remaining balance will be required before the set-up of the hired equipment, prior to the start of the event.
  • For bookings cancelations you may cancel any bookings by giving a minimum of 7 days’ notice. In the event of a cancellation where the hirer has given at least 7 days’ notice, the booking fee will be retained but a date transfer and product transfer are offered.
  • Only the person who made the booking is able to cancel the booking.
  • If winds OR gusts exceed 24mph (38Kmph, or Force 5 on the Beaufort Scale) then we reserve the right to cancel the hire of any bouncy castle and/or inflatable for outdoor use. This is a requirement by law set out by the HSE. In uncertain cases we will come and measure wind speeds on site.
  • What if it rains? Suppose that on the morning of your Scheduled outdoor booking its raining. If the rain is heavy and persistent, we will advise you not to go ahead with your booking. We do not offer refunds for loss of use DURING the hire due to rain. If your booking is outdoors and you need to cancel due to rain under this circumstance, you will be offered to reschedule your booking to a new date, you will also have the opportunity to transfer your booking fee (£20) to other assets. If it rains during your booking then move all people off and away from the equipment. Once the rain ceases, simply dry the equipment with a towel so it is not slippery and play can commence.

NOTE: If you have concerns for weather related cancellations, then we advise that you book an indoor venue. If the weather is forecast rain we will be in contact with you working with you for the best outcome. It’s the Great British weather - world famous, so we just work with it!

Delivery, Set up & Collection Requirements

  • We must have clear access to the venue. Please make sure the driveway/side passage and any other access spaces are clear so that we can Immediately park up, unload and walk through to set up with minimal fuss. We work to a strict time sheet keeping on time for ALL of our customers delivery and collection times. The minimum access requirement is 2.5ft (Average standard UK doorway).
  • For our bouncy castles and inflatables you will need to allow a minimum of 5ft at the front and rear of the inflatable bouncy castle and 2ft either side. This is to allow for safety mats and access onto the castle step and also to account for the blower at the rear of the castle. For example, a 12x14ft requires a minimum clear space of 22x18ft. Each of our hire products show the required space on their individual asset pages on our website, you may refer to each individual product page for the required space information. Alternatively, if you are not sure then we advise that you call us to discuss this.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you have checked the space requirements for the product that you wish to hire. If we arrive on the day and cannot fit the hired products into the desired site then we will not be able to hire the products to you and this will be treated the same as a cancellation made within 7 days of the booking date.
  • If hiring outdoors the grass should not be too long, this is so that we can effectively assess the safety of the ground that the equipment is to be hired on which forms part of our risk assessment for all hires.
  • The ground should be free of any sharp objects, branches/twigs, stones or animal mess.
  • The clear space where the equipment is to be hired must be ready for us, i.e trampolines and chairs already moved so that the equipment can be immediately set up.
  • When hired outdoors, our bouncy castles must be set up on grass only. We cannot set up outdoors on artificial grass/concrete etc.
  • If the desired hire site is not suitable and does not correctly reflect the details we received on our booking form i.e. You booked a bouncy castle or inflatable for grass, but then we arrive and it's on concrete/artificial grass or the area is covered in animal foul then we reserve the right to cancel the booking upon our arrival.
  • We deliver equipment in long wheelbase, Luton style van which is unable to get through most height restriction barriers since they measure at 3.3 Meters. If the car park at your venue has a height restriction barrier in place, please ensure this is either removed before we arrive to deliver and collect your hired equipment, or allow us an alternative access route.

Loss & Damage

  • The person who booked the party or event will be responsible for any losses or damage beyond reasonable wear and tear caused to the equipment during the hire. If damage occurs during the hire the person that booked is responsible and must cover any costs to repair, clean or replace the equipment.
  • All equipment hired from must be returned clean. For example, this means that no mud or food items should be found on any of the equipment. If any equipment is found to be returned in an unacceptable condition, i.e. If it is in a dirty or muddy condition, you will be expected to pay an additional cleaning charge of £30.

Operating times for delivery and collection

  • We are able to offer our delivery and collection times from 7AM-6PM. Any required collection times beyond our operating time of 6PM will be subject to an overnight charge of £50 and can be collected from 7AM the following morning.
  • You may also wish to hire the asset overnight, this is charged at £50 and can be collected from 7AM the following morning by prior arrangement.

Note: For overnight home hires, please turn bouncy castles and inflatables on in the morning when you wake up, this will allow us to check the condition of the inflatable and will also allow it to dry for our collection.

  • We will deliver from 7am, you will receive a delivery time from us dependant on the most economical driver route with party times considered.
  • We require a minimum of 30 Minutes either side of your booking to allow us the time to set up and clear away. When booking our services to venues with limited access times, such as village halls this will need to be considered. For example, most children's parties last for around 2 hours, therefore when booking a village hall you would need to book for 3 hours to cover our required time plus your party time.

Note: Some venues will charge you for extra time if you are not cleared up and packed away within your booked time. We expect you to account for our set up and pack away time of 30 minutes each way and we will not be responsible for any charges you incur as a result of not accounting for this.
