PROFESSIONALLY FIRED DISPLAYS FOR EVENTS

A firework display by Sandling Fireworks will make your event an unforgettable experience for you and your audience. We fire displays for product launches, corporate training days, scout groups to name a few. We have even been asked to produce MARRY ME in fireworks, and the answer was YES! Whatever the occasion do it in style with a display from Sandling Fireworks.

For almost 30 years Sandling Fireworks has helped people celebrate birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. We are fully licensed and insured display operators with a full team of BPA trained firers. We give a high quality, reliable service that only an established and experienced company can offer. We have been providing firework displays for almost 30 years.

With our state of the art wireless digital firing system, we can even fire synchronized displays from several locations simultaneously! Ideal for product launches and high profile events.

We have huge stocks of fireworks from around the world. Our displays are renowned for their excellent value for money. We can produce lancework (fire writing) to your specifications. Words, company logos and pictures in fireworks are all possible.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Because our displays are often for councils and corporate events we cost our displays plus VAT (unlike our firework packs which are all VAT inclusive). Each display is designed individually to suit your needs. Prices range from £600+VAT depending on location and date, up to, well, the sky's the limit! The firing time can range from as little as a minute for a short sharp display right up to twenty-five minutes for a full length show. The more you spend the bigger and better the display. For top end displays budgets of £5,000 or more are not uncommon. For full length firework spectaculars and pyro-musicals £5,000 - £10,000 will get you a very nice display indeed. The more you spend the better the display becomes because fixed costs such as transport, labour and insurance become a smaller proportion of the budget - so the more fireworks per pound!

WHEN CAN FIREWORKS BE USED?
By law fireworks must not used after 11pm except for November 5th - 12 midnight, News Year's Eve, Diwali, Chinese New Year and New Years Eve, all 1a.m.

WHAT DURATION?
The shorter the display the more spectacular it will be because you are increasing your pounds per minute. This means larger fireworks can be used. For product launches etc. 1 to 2 minutes of maximum impact fireworks make the event one to remember. For Summer Parties around 10 minutes is about right. For November displays 15 - 20 minutes should be considered and certainly no longer than 25 minutes. No matter how spectacular the fireworks people's appreciation will start to wane if the display is too long.

DO I NEED INSURANCE?
You do not need to take out insurance for the firework display. Sandling Fireworks has it's own £5,000,000 insurance that will cover any loss, damage or injury from the firework display. Our insurance does not cover other attractions that you might arrange yourself such as bonfires, barbeques, bouncy castles etc. You should ensure the site itself has insurance in place to cover any incidents that do not involve fireworks. Most hotels, schools and sports clubs will already have this covered. If you are using say, a farmers field for a display you will need to check your insurance covers you for the site.

HOW DO I KNOW IF A SITE IS SUITABLE FOR FIREWORKS?
Most existing venues will be able to tell you if they have had fireworks before and show where they are usually fired. If this is the first time the venue has been used for fireworks then we need to establish that it has sufficient safety distance for your display. Usually we will come and have a look at the site and this can be a good opportunity to discuss the display with you.

WHO DO I NEED TO NOTIFY?
For smaller displays Sandling Fireworks will usually notify the police and fire service of the event. This is a simple courtesy so that they know when and where a display will be taking place. If you are planning a a large scale public display then it is best if you lease directly with the emergency services because you are the organiser of the event and you are contracting us, a professional company, to fire the display for you. It is always a good idea to let local residents know of the event so there are no surprises on the night. In particular farms, stables and other nearby places that might have animals should be told.

WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
We can fire in the most atrocious conditions and rain will not usually be a problem for us. It is very rare indeed that we are unable to fire a display. Special circumstances might be that there is a very strong wind towards the audience and it is not possible to move the site around. Fog does not stop us firing but it might stop you seeing the fireworks!

CAN I HAVE A QUIET DISPLAY?
Sometimes a display site may be in a sensitive area. It may be sleepy village or there may be stables nearby. In these case we can fire a quiet display for you. It will not be silent though. We will discuss with you the level of noise that may be acceptable. We will probably not be able to fire aerial shells although in some cases we may just limit their size. Quiet fireworks include cakes, roman candles and barrages that eject coloured stars, comets and quiet effects such as wriggling fish. If the site is suitable then we can include traditional wheels and setpieces that make for a very entertaining display.
