First in. Last out.
Everywhere you need us, even if you never notice.
We are Steeldeck Rentals, delivering for over 30 years.
We design and install bespoke temporary seating and staging that’s as creative as it is rock solid. From world-famous festivals and major TV productions to theatres, cultural landmarks and sporting events, our structures quietly — and safely — support unforgettable moments.
We’re known for doing things properly. Safe, innovative solutions with unrivalled range, versatility and strength. With depots in London and Manchester, we deliver nationwide and beyond, working with leading broadcasters, venues and production partners across the UK and Europe.

We’re a small, close-knit team with a strong reputation in our industry, so we’re looking for someone proactive, flexible and happy to roll their sleeves up. If you enjoy variety, taking ownership and seeing your work out in the real world quickly, you’ll feel right at home.
