Short term appliance rental in the UK

May 5, 2005 7:34 AM

I am due to move to a new house this weekend but I'm keeping my old property for a month or so afterwards before selling it. My new place will not have a fridge or washing machine etc. I'm trying to find a company in the UK which will do short term rental of such appliances in the Birmingham UK area as I want to keep my existing stuff at my old place. Yellow pages and my google-fu have so far turned up a blank.

Something like this or this maybe? No clue if they're in your area, though.

Radio Rentals are the most famous appliance rental place. They're now called boxclever

They say minimum rental period is 18 months, however they do say short term 1-6month rentals are available on some things. Give them a call. I'm sure they'll be a branch in Birmingham
