Lots of useful appliances for hire!

In over 100 blogs I have never mentioned an important aspect of the Towler & Staines business, we hire out a large variety of Calor Gas appliances.

Blown air industrial heaters are the most popular item. They come in three different sizes depending on the area you need to heat. The main users are customers with industrial and commercial premises.

We have a Trident (three headed) weed burner available. It is great for burning off weeds in an unruly patch of garden or could also be used for a roofing job.

If lighting beyond the mains is a problem for a special event we hire out Bullfinch Mini Floodlights.

For Scout and Guide camps or other outdoor catering needs we have Dixie 2 large high pressure burners which accomodate very large pans. We can also provide a large single low pressure square burner.

Burco Dean 20litre Water Boilers are another popular item for brewing large quantities of tea or coffee.

On the barbecue front we have large and small Cinders Catering Barbecues and Beefeater and Continental Griddle Barbecues. So if you are planning a barbecue party for a large number of people we have the answer in our hire fleet.

Why Calor Mobile Heaters are amazing value!

In early 1973, Towler & Staines started to sell the very first mobile cabinet heaters powered by Calor Gas. The heater was the Super Ser and it was immediately a huge success, although it was priced at
£109.99 for the heater alone at that time and it was necessary to also hire a 15kg Calor Gas cylinder full of butane gas.

Now 40 years on you can buy a Calor Radiant Mobile Heater for just £65. The heater will burn for 135 hours on the lowest setting using a 15kg Calor cylinder. It has three heat settings with a maximum of 4.2kw. It has a hose and regulator, piezo ignition, a flame failure device and an oxygen depletion system for complete safety in use.

A number of electronic items have fallen in retail price over the years but there cannot be many items which are as good value as this after 40 years of inflation!
