Temporary Building Hire for Exhibitions & Trade Shows

Flexible Temporary Exhibitions Buildings & Trade Show Structures

When show timelines are tight, temporary buildings keep floorplans flexible and programmes on schedule.

Our clearspan, modular structures create registration halls, overflow exhibition space, build-up workshops, crew welfare, back-of-house logistics areas and storage, installed quickly, reconfigurable by bay, and fully managed from survey to de-rig across Surrey, London and the South East (projects UK-wide by agreement).

How temporary exhibition buildings keep exhibitions moving

Exhibitions demand throughput, safety and predictable build schedules. We plan around tenancy windows, traffic plans and event CDM roles, aligning with venue eGuides and best practice.

  • Rapid mobilisation & tidy installs during build/move-in, with night or off-peak options.

  • Modular by bay so space can expand/contract with exhibitor uptake and visitor traffic.

  • End-to-end delivery: survey, drawings, installation, inspections, responsive call-outs and de-rig.

  • Venue-aware engineering for access routes, loading bays and visitor flows.
“Thanks so much… you guys are amazing.”

  • Overflow exhibition space: shell-scheme compatible or open space-only zones with power and lighting.
  • Build-up workshops & prep bays for large exhibits, with roller-door access.
  • Crew welfare, offices & meeting rooms for organisers, ops and exhibitors.
  • Back-of-house logistics: marshalling, packaging stores, empties storage, returns processing.
