Frequently asked questions

As most of our customers are in the trade and don’t need many of the extras, our standard price includes: the product, PIPA certificate (where applicable), ground pegs, storage bag, operating instruction and initial safety test. However, we are able to supply everything else you require such as blowers, sand bag covers, mats and other useful accessories.

This all depends on how well the inflatable is maintained, looked after, and used. We have many customers with units over 10 years old. Many companies normally rotate their stock after 3 – 5 years of use.

We offer a 12 months return to base warranty on all of our products.

Easy, you can do this online, over the phone, via email or through social media with one of our amazing sales people. They will always be more than happy to help.

Our industry leading gloss PVC is easy to wipe clean. We recommend warm soapy water and wiping over the inflatable after each use. It is important to make sure your inflatable isn’t packed away wet or that you inflate to dry at the earliest possible moment to avoid mould or staining on your unit.

Of course, as required by BSEN 14960 & ASTM F2374, each one of our products is supplied with an operation manual giving you all the information needed to operate, maintain and care for your bouncy castle and inflatable product safety and correctly. This can generally be downloaded using the QR code on the filler tube of your inflatable.

All inflatables are slightly different but in general you will require a clear, free from obstructions site. This could be indoors or outdoors with enough room for the unit and a clear safety clearance around the outside too. Place the inflatable on the site and unpack from the bag. Unroll the inflatable and move into place. Inflate the unit and then secure it afterwards. Airquee provides more details and full instructions in our user manual on all operation which should be followed.
