Setup Service

Kilns can be a bit tricky to carry into position.

Even the smallest kilns that we sell are relatively heavy and can be quite awkward to carry.

Wheels and kilns can also come with a lot of packaging (lots of cardboard and a pallet) that needs to be disposed of.

The manufacturers do all offer an engineer delivery option, but this can be fairly expensive (often around £1000). Sometimes, for a small and simple kiln, you don't necessarily need an engineer, you just need a hand getting it in place and set up from people with a bit of experience.

Our Kiln Setup Service

  • Unpacking and Carrying into Place

    Our most popular kiln weights around 100KG. Two of us will come to your property and move it into your desired location for you and get it out of it's packaging.

  • Kiln Setup

    Our plug-in kilns are fairly quick to setup. While we are there we can do this for you and make sure everything has arrived in full working order and get everything ready.

    We can also make sure that the kiln is in a suitable, safe place.

  • Guidance

    Once we have the kiln ready, we can talk you through how to use the kiln controller and help you set up the first dry firing.

  • Getting Rid of Packaging

    We'll get rid of plastic and cardboard waste, as well as taking away and disposing of the pallet for you.

  • Troubleshooting

    Should there be any issue at all with your kiln/wheel on arrival, we can try to work out the issue and get it sorted quickly.

  • Wheels

    If you have ordered a wheel we can also set that up for you at no extra cost. (And also get rid of the waste)
