Most of us are familiar with rental, but if this is the first time you have embarked upon renting an appliance for your home we understand you may have a few questions.

Both Snellings and Gerald Giles have been renting household appliances since 1948. We rebranded our rental service ‘CareFree Renting’ in 2020.
When we speak to our exisiting customers many can remember their parents or grandparents renting a TV from Roy Snelling, Snellings were the pioneers with Television rental, back in the 1940s, and his close friend Gerald Giles complimented this with the rental of kitchen applainces, so we come from a good rental pedigree.
You can find out more about our combined history here.
We have to process your application, including a credit check from CreditSafe. Once approved we aim to contact you within 24-48 hours to arrange the delivery of your goods. Delivery is usually within one week.
Our experienced engineers would aim to get to you within 2 working days. Most repairs can be resolved in your home, if this is not the case, we would leave a loan machine for the duration of the repair.
Snellings and Gerald Giles employees will always deliver and install your rental goods.
For the duration of rentals, all appliances remain the property of R C Snelling Ltd, so, any damage or loss must be paid for by the customer. Therefore, we require that customers cover our equipment with home contents insurance in the event of fire/flood/theft and accidental damage. The rental agreement includes the replacement cost of the product and this should be considered when taking out the agreement.
