Rooftop Gazebo & Tent Setup Hire in London
London Gazebo Hire is one of the only companies in the UK specialising in professional rooftop gazebo and tent installations. From exclusive penthouse receptions to elevated brand activations, we bring secure, elegant structures to spaces other suppliers won’t touch. Our service is ideal for high-rise venues, hospitality spaces, and private terraces requiring a discrete, safe and weatherproof solution.
Designed for Safety, Engineered for Altitude
Rooftop installations are not your average event setup — they require specialist knowledge, premium equipment, and uncompromising safety standards. Our team includes an in-house health & safety specialist who personally oversees each rooftop project from planning through to takedown. Every site is assessed for structural integrity, load-bearing surfaces, wind exposure and access constraints.
- Specialist anchoring techniques for wind resistance and stability
- Custom ballast systems designed for sensitive rooftop environments
- Professional-grade, fire-retardant gazebos with reinforced canopies
- Full compliance documentation, including method statements and risk assessments
- On-site installation briefing for venue managers or clients
Trusted by Leading Rooftop Venues
Our rooftop gazebo solutions have been trusted by London’s most demanding clients and prestigious properties. From hospitality suites in Shoreditch to brand-viewing platforms overlooking the Thames, we know how to deliver elevated experiences — literally. Whether it's an exclusive gathering, rooftop product launch, or skyline dining experience, we make the impossible, possible.

Tailored for Discretion and Elegance
Not only do our structures deliver security and weather protection, they also look the part. All tents and gazebos are available in clean white finishes with optional sidewalls, transparent windows, soft lighting and flooring to match the aesthetic of your event or venue. We understand the importance of visual presence, particularly for luxury or client-facing activations.
We work closely with venue managers, private clients and event coordinators to ensure everything complements your space. Our gazebos can be set up around fixed structures, railings or parapets, and adapted to rooftop gardens, gravel bases or composite decking.
Specialist Insurance for Elevated Events
Rooftop hires require more than standard insurance — they require a level of coverage that reflects the additional risks and responsibility involved. That’s why London Gazebo Hire holds full rooftop-specific public liability insurance and complies with all local authority guidelines. We issue all clients with compliance packs as part of our onboarding.
- Rooftop liability and weather-risk cover included
- Installers trained in rooftop protocol and safety
- Advanced planning documents to aid your risk mitigation
- Pre-site inspections with consultation reports available

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer site inspections before rooftop setups?
Yes, we offer comprehensive site surveys before any rooftop installation. Our team assesses structure compatibility, access, safety considerations, and event needs to recommend the best setup for your location.
Is your insurance suitable for rooftop work?
Absolutely. We carry specialist rooftop-specific public liability insurance, covering all rooftop installations, including high-wind conditions and multi-story environments.
What anchoring methods do you use for rooftops?
We use a combination of professional ballast systems, mechanical fixings (where permitted), and non-invasive anchoring techniques specifically designed for sensitive rooftop surfaces.
Can you install rooftop gazebos on gravel, decking, or green roofs?
Yes. We can safely install gazebos on a variety of surfaces, including gravel, artificial turf, timber decking, and sedum roofs. We tailor our anchoring to suit each environment safely and securely.
How far in advance should I book a rooftop setup?
We recommend securing your date at least 4–6 weeks in advance to allow for surveys, permissions, and logistics planning — although we can occasionally accommodate urgent bookings where schedules allow.
