George Cottle12/11/2018• I have had a massive help with building my website and learning about the industry from the BIHA all the information you need to get involved in this industry is on this site. Any questions I’ve had have been answered in the several phone calls I’ve made to mark. He is familiar with my BCN website and has given me advice that has helped my Google ranking go to page one in certain areas. Big thank you to the BIHA.

Mo Manchester07/05/2017I am a member of the BIHA with my business and the BIHA has helped our business grow from strength to strength. Having the logo on the website makes potential customers feel secure that their booking will be handled by a business associated with a professional body. Being a member has made our bookings more than triple year on year and can only thank the organisation for its help and support. The BIHA has been more than a logo and more of a community that has allowed other hirers to share tips, tricks and safe hire. I will continue to be a member and I am writing this review in good honest faith.

This site together with its “sister website” and discussion forum creates a professional and enjoyable environment for BIHA members (now over 1,500) to collaborate and share resources and ideas, get a big DISCOUNT (of up to 30%) on their PL Insurance premiums and learn sound business principles to really succeed in their bouncy castle hire business.
Through the BIHA, bouncy castle hire companies can achieve much more, by sharing information, than they can by going it alone!
The BIHA provides the infrastructure that encourages and supports the sharing of good ideas, expertise, professionalism and safe working practices to the BS EN 14960 Standard, the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and also the PUWER Regs 1998. The BIHA also actively supports the PIPA Scheme for the annual “MOT” testing of inflatables.
The BIHA website is packed with extremely helpful, real-world advice & tips straight from successful inflatable hire company owners & operators.
The BIHA provides you – the operator, with the tools, resources, information (and a whopping discount of up to 30% on your PL insurance and £5M cover for the same price as £1M cover) you need to achieve your dream of running a successful bouncy castle hire (inflatable hire) business without having to learn it the hard way!

***VERY IMPORTANT*** – If you are looking for a bouncy castle hire company for your child’s party or other type of event – please read the following…
Some people planning a party or event make the decision to hire the cheapest bouncy castle they can find in their LOCAL area.
We cannot over-emphasise it enough, but this can be a big mistake if you decide to choose the cheapest bouncy castle hire company that you can find. This is because sometimes (but not always) the cheaper companies will be desperate to cut costs. For example, they may not have adequate (or any!) public liability insurance cover. They may use an old van that is prone to breaking down. They may use old, and possibly even dirty bouncy castles that have lost some of their “bounciness” due to wear over the years. Also, their bouncy castles may not have a current safety certificate. In addition, the owner/operator is less likely to be trained in the correct safety aspects of setting up and inflating a bouncy castle, slide or other type of play inflatable.
How to make sure that you choose a good bouncy castle hire company…
-
- If one company is charging a much cheaper hire fee than their competitors – be suspicious. They may still be a good company – but just be aware of the points made above
- Do they have adequate public liability insurance? £1million is normally considered to be the minimum.
- Make sure they are a member of the BIHA. Being a member and associated with the BIHA is pretty much the trade standard. All BIHA members are thoroughly educated on the do’s and don’ts of running a safe bouncy castle hire business.
- At the start of each hire, will they be going through all the essential safety points with a responsible adult? BIHA members have a choice of “tools” to do this e.g. a Terms and Conditions of hire form or a Cartoon Safety Instruction Sheet etc.
- Don’t forget to also check for any online reviews and customer testimonials that should be clearly displayed on the hire company’s website.
- Have a good look at the company’s website. (If they have one). A well presented site showcasing attractive and clean inflatables is an indicator that the hire company takes great pride in it’s business.
- Look at the company’s Facebook Page (If they have one). You can tell a lot about a company by comments made from it’s customers and clients who post on Facebook.
-
- The BIHA also aims to promote to all public and corporate clients the benefits of hiring professional inflatable hire companies. (
