Pricing

Plan your mobile dishwashing and tableware budget around the full event setup. Hire duration, equipment capacity, crockery quantities and washing support all influence the cost. Request a written quotation for your event before committing to a budget.

What affects your quotation?

Event duration and equipment

Include your event dates, operating hours and the time needed for delivery, setup and collection. Confirm whether the hire period covers these arrangements or only the days of use.

Dishwasher trailer selection should reflect your busiest service period. A steady flow of returned dishes creates different requirements from hundreds of plates arriving immediately after a meal. Share your expected guest numbers and serving schedule to help establish suitable washing capacity.

Crockery, glassware and reusable tableware

Specify quantities for each item: plates, bowls, cups, glasses and cutlery. Guest numbers alone do not show how much tableware is needed, particularly when an event includes several courses or repeated drinks service.

Allow for the time required to collect, sort, wash and return items to circulation. Ask whether racks, transport crates and other handling equipment are included.

Washing support and site requirements

Clarify whether your team will operate the equipment or whether you require washing staff. Include the hours needed for collecting returns, removing food waste, loading racks and packing clean items.

Provide details of vehicle access, available space, electricity, water connections and wastewater arrangements. Ask whether water treatment or additional connection equipment is needed and how it affects the quotation.

Check the complete hire cost

Before booking, confirm whether the quoted total includes:

• Delivery, collection, setup and operating instructions.
• Detergent, rinse aid and any water treatment consumables.
• Washing staff and additional working hours.
• End-of-hire cleaning and tableware washing.
• Taxes, deposits, and charges for missing or damaged items.

Agree responsibilities for cleaning and handling reusable tableware alongside the price. The European Commission’s food hygiene guidance provides useful background for planning these arrangements.

Prepare your quotation request

Send your event location, dates, attendance estimate, service timetable, item quantities and preferred support level. Include any site limitations so the quotation can account for the equipment and practical arrangements your event needs.
