"Scouty has become an essential part of our pre-production process. Finding the right location used to eat up hours, and not knowing the price upfront was a real pain. Now it's one of the easiest parts of the job. The platform is intuitive, the AI integration is super useful, the location library is genuinely impressive, and the team are always on hand if we need anything. Highly recommend it to any production company."

Top tips for booking commercial & industrial locations
Top Tip
Request a full site walkthrough before your shoot day, ideally with your DP or art director. Industrial spaces often have complex layouts, restricted access points, and operational activity that can affect your shooting schedule. What looks straightforward on a floor plan rarely is.
Commercial and Industrial Location Checklist
- Power supply capacity and distribution points
- Loading bay dimensions and vehicle access
- Active operational areas vs. exclusive hire zones
- Asbestos, hazardous materials, or safety restrictions
- Toilet and welfare facilities for crew
What to Consider When Hiring an Industrial Space
Warehouses, factories, and industrial units offer raw, characterful backdrops that are hard to replicate on a studio set. But they come with practical realities that need planning. Here's what to assess before you commit.
Space and Layout Requirements
Ceiling height, column spacing, and floor load capacity all matter depending on your production scale. Consider how much of the space you actually need, many industrial sites offer partial hire, but noise bleed from adjacent areas can be a real issue. Confirm exactly what's included in your hire and where the boundaries are.
Technical Considerations
Industrial spaces often have limited or awkwardly positioned power access, factor in generator hire if you're running heavy lighting. Ambient noise from ventilation, neighbouring units, or operational machinery can cause problems for sound-critical shoots. Check mobile signal strength too, particularly in large metal-clad buildings where connectivity drops.
Budget and Additional Costs
Day rates typically range from £500–£4,000 depending on scale, location, and whether the site is operational or decommissioned. Factor in potential costs for site security, generator hire, additional cleaning, and any health and safety requirements specific to the site.

FAQs
Scouty is a location marketplace connecting production companies, agencies, and brands with spaces available for film, photo, and creative shoots. Instead of going through a traditional location agency, you can browse, enquire, and book directly, with the same quality of spaces and a faster, more transparent process.
Traditional agencies charge significant finder fees and often take days to respond. On Scouty, you search and shortlist yourself, communicate directly with hosts, and only pay a service fee on booking. You get more control, more transparency, and faster turnaround, without compromising on quality or support.
Warehouses, factories, logistics units, decommissioned industrial buildings, car parks, and working yards. Whether you need a vast raw space for a large-scale commercial or a gritty urban backdrop for editorial work, listings are filterable by size, ceiling height, location, and access.
Safety standards vary significantly between active and decommissioned sites. Always check the listing for any stated restrictions, and raise specific safety questions in your enquiry, particularly around asbestos, structural condition, or operational hazards. Many hosts will require a risk assessment or method statement before confirming a booking.
Pre-rig access is common for larger productions but needs to be agreed in advance. Raise it during enquiry and confirm it's written into your booking. Overnight or multi-day access will typically incur an additional fee, so factor that into your budget early.
Some industrial listings offer partial hire alongside ongoing operations, which can add authentic atmosphere but also unpredictability. If you need guaranteed exclusive access, specify this clearly in your enquiry. Our team can help clarify what's possible and ensure expectations are set correctly with the host before you book.
