Dry hire · Greenwich, London
Dry Hire Studio London.
Dry hire studio space in Greenwich, London, for productions bringing their own equipment and workflow. Load in at ground level and build the setup that suits your brief.
Space first. Your workflow.
What Dry Hire Gives You.
Dry hire separates the space from a hired equipment or crew package. Bring the cameras, lights and people you trust, then agree the studio configuration and preparation with us.
Bring the Setup You Know.
Use your own cameras, lighting and grip. There is no additional charge for bringing your own equipment.
Load Through the Shutter.
Ground-floor access helps with cases, trolleys, large props and suitable vehicles. Confirm dimensions and unloading timings.
Add Only What Helps.
Top up your own package with selected in-house kit when available. List the extras before the day so they can be quoted and reserved.

Your questions
Useful Answers Before You Book.
Does Dry Hire Include Lighting or a Camera Crew?
An additional equipment or production-crew package is not automatically included. Studio management is available for access and facilities; agree any technical operators or extra kit separately.
Can I Add Studio Equipment to Dry Hire?
Yes. Send the items and quantities you need from the equipment list. We will confirm availability and the additional hire cost.
Can I Use the Green Screen Studio on Dry Hire?
Discuss the chosen setup in your quote. Green-screen bookings have the background pre-lit; your subject lighting and any other equipment still need planning.
Can I Bring My Own Equipment?
Yes. You can bring your own kit with no extra charge for doing so. Ground-floor shutter access makes loading easier. Send large-item dimensions and power requirements before the day.
Cineview also has over 400 items of equipment in house. Hiring suitable kit from the studio can save time and transport costs. Explore our equipment list and contact us with your equipment requirements to confirm availability and prices.
Are Dogs and Children Welcome?
Yes. Dogs and children are welcome, and Cineview is a dog-friendly studio. Please contact us before bringing dogs so we can discuss the practical arrangements for your booking.
Do Clients Need Insurance?
Client insurance is not required unless the work involves fire or water. Contact us before booking any fire or water activity to discuss the necessary cover and practical arrangements.
Do We Need to Send Shot Lists or Call Sheets?
No. Shot lists and call sheets are optional; you do not need to send them before shoot day. You are welcome to share them if they will help the studio team support your plans.
Is Studio Hire Suitable for a First-Time User?
Yes. Tell us your brief, experience and what help you need. We can discuss the right duration, equipment and support before you book.
How Much Does Hire Cost?
Your quote depends on dates, hours, chosen setup, equipment, preparation and support. Send your brief for availability and a tailored price; the team will confirm all inclusions and booking terms.
Can We Visit Before Booking?
Ask to arrange a recce. It is particularly useful for a large set, vehicle shoot, complex rig, dialogue recording or virtual-production workflow.
