glinton Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I've got a short gig coming up in Windsor in June and need to rent 3 or 4 snakes. Something like 35 - 50 foot 8-channel each would likely do the trick. Windsor seems to be a rather "tourist" oriented town, so I'm looking for recommendations of a rental house with good quality gear that could set me up with what I need. Have a couple of months to work out the details, but any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 http://www.richmondfilmservices.co.uk/ is a good place to start and its 20 miles away (i am in no way part of richmond film services). dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Richmond seems to be the go to place. Perhaps not the cheapest or the only place, but it's the name that pops up that has what you need. Windsor is just outside London, and near Pinewood and Sheperton studios, so you'll have lots of access to gear and resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gilbert Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Richmond are a long established company with a great reputation, that of course means they're not the cheapest, but they'll get you what you want and they'll get it right first time.

daniel Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 For mic rental they are 1 of the cheapest and have a wider range than most. They are also great for cables, the work is very good and the pricing reasonable. d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundmanjohn Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 But you just have to see the office! It always amazes me how they manage to be the super efficient outfit that they are. First choice, every time. John Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also usually find they are the cheapest for renting most things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPitot Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 But just try asking for a discount :-) I LOVE telling production - after they moan about additional rental costs, to go get a comparative quote off RFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
