What We Do
Prop Hire
With over 50,000 items of stock for hire, Handles' unique collection of props is the largest of it's kind in the UK - if not the World. With multiple stock of much of the range, we can supply all your needs from single items to large set requirements.
Most clients prefer to collect their orders from our Feltham location but we can also arrange UK courier delivery on a same day or overnight basis. International delivery is also available on request.
We are very aware of the urgency that the industry can sometimes demand when plans change or set dressing is in progress and are well geared up to respond accordingly.
