FAQ

We offer various marquee flooring options. Your marquee may be sited on a grass, gravel or tarmaced area and this will affect the type of flooring you require. Similarly, if the weather has been particularly cold or wet, then a bare grass floor would not be ideal, especially if your guests wear stilettos! To cope with all types of ground conditions we offer: New carpet which provides warmth, comfort and luxury to the whole or just part of your marquee. Beautiful matting for comfort and to protect from damp conditions. A complete hardwood floor cover which can be softened with new carpet or matting to guarantee a dry and safe event. Staging for entertainment and bands. Dance floors for your guests - these can be black and white checker design or parquet flooring and can be of any size you wish. To discuss your marquee flooring requirements, please fill in the form on our contact us page or call 01272 545199.

We provide indirect blower heaters that provide superb heating that won't blow your guests away! Depending on the size of your marquee, you may require just one or several of these. Even on the coldest of days, these marquee heaters will keep you warm and the focus on the main event.

Marquee generator hire is easy from Andrews Marquees. We bring as many generators as required to your event along with an electrical distribution panel so that any electricity required in the marquee is easily availble for caterers, lighting, bands etc. We discuss your electricity needs with you at our initial meeting so that everything you need is provided on the day.

All our marquees are clear span marquees. This means that there are no poles or other obstructions inside the marquee so that a clear view can be maintained from one end of the marquee if desired. Speakers are not obscured from view and guests can see the people at the "top table." Naturally, if you would like to divide up the space, we can do this for you within the clear span marquee.

No we take care of all that.

Marquees are a great way to provide shelter for festivalgoers or party guests. If you’re fortunate enough to have fine weather, side panels can usually be opened to let in a breeze and the sounds of summer. However, because marquees are waterproof, they can also stand up to a fair bit of precipitation.

All our marquees are strong, weather tight and well constructed. Guests are protected from the elements from the floor upwards! Coconut matting or wooden flooring protects shoes and babies and toddlers, no matter what the weather is doing outside. Doorways can be secured to keep heat in and the cold out and we supply both power and heating.
