Some briefs want texture: exposed brick, factory windows, polished concrete and ceilings high enough to fly a light rig. Warehouses give you raw character for fashion and editorial, open floors for set builds and room for a full crew. The difference between a great warehouse and a frustrating one comes down to access, light and noise, so here are 13 that get it right.

19Why Book Your Warehouse Hire Now
The best warehouses are always in demand, especially in peak campaign season. Shortlist the ones with the access, light and sound your brief needs, and lock in a recce while your dates are open.
20What to Check on a Warehouse Recce
Warehouses look simple, but their logistics make or break a shoot day. Check these on site:
Load-in and vehicle access
Find where trucks park, how close they get to the door and whether there is a roller door, lift or loading dock.
Power
Confirm the switchboard location and whether three-phase power is available for a big lighting package.
Ceiling height and rigging
Measure the clearance and ask what can be rigged from beams or trusses before planning overhead lighting.
Sound and echo
Hard surfaces bounce sound. Listen at shoot time and plan acoustic treatment if you are recording dialogue.
Light control
Note where daylight comes in and how easily windows and skylights can be blacked out.
Temperature
Many warehouses have no air conditioning. Plan fans or heaters for talent and crew comfort.
Floors
Polished concrete can reflect light and scuff easily. Agree on floor protection with the owner.
