Portable Toilets Frequently Asked Questions

Construction Toilets

1. What facilities are there inside?

Each unit has a re-circulating flushing toilet, pedestal fresh water sink, soap, hand towel & toilet roll dispenser.

2. How are they delivered?

We usually deliver/collect on a large vehicle similar in size to a builder’s merchant lorry up to 7.5 tonne.

3. How are they Serviced?

Each week our service vehicle will arrive on site to service the portable toilet unit. They will empty the contents of the toilet, clean and deodorise the inside of the tank and toilet cubicle, prime the toilet tank with a non hazardous toilet additive and re fill the sink with fresh water, re-stock with toilet tissue, hand towels and soaps.

4. What is included in the hire rate?

A weekly service of the portable toilet unit along with re-stocking of all consumables (toilet tissue, hand towels & soap).

5. What access will be needed for delivery and service vehicle?

You need to provide enough access so our delivery & service vehicle can pull up alongside the toilet unit.

6. Can they be moved once positioned?

Yes, but you must inform us to do it for you especially if you are moving it to another address.

7. How many toilets do I need?

As portable toilets have limited capacity and need emptying, it is recommended that one WC per seven persons is provided where once-a-week emptying is provided.

Luxury Units

1. What facilities do I need to provide at the venue?

Water. The luxury loos that we supply are fully self contained. They come with their own fresh water tank. For events of an extended duration this may require topping up with an on site supply, or via our service unit. However, under normal usage no water will be required.

Electric. The loos require a 13 amp electricity supply (one for each trailer unit). Nothing else should be allowed to run of the same socket for the duration of your event. If you do not have access to mains electricity on site we can advise on the provision of a suitable generator.

Drainage. As the loos are fully self-contained, there is no need for any drainage facility on site.

Access to the site. Your intended site should be easily accessible, and as flat as possible. If you think that your site may cause problems then please alert us at the time of your booking enquiry and we will be able to conduct a site visit if necessary.

2. Do the loos need servicing during my event?

For a typical event such as a wedding or private party that lasts for no more than 12 hours, the loos will not require any servicing. However, if your event occurs over several days or you are hosting an event with very large numbers of guests then servicing on site may be necessary. This can be discussed at the time of your enquiry.

3. Can you provide an attendant service?

Yes, we can provide one or more attendants depending on the size of your event. Our attendants have a good technical knowledge in the unlikely event that problems arise on site. Their main duty is usually to keep the facilities in pristine condition throughout the event.

4. How will the loos arrive on site?

The loos are trailer units, similar to large caravans. We usually deliver/collect using a pick up, similar in size to a Transit.

5. When will the loos arrive on site?

Your delivery and installation time can be discussed at the time of your booking. Usually the loos will arrive one or two days prior to your event at an agreed time. If you require delivery further in advance this should be stated during the booking process.

6. Can the loos be integrated into the marquee?

Yes, it is quite common for us to provide facilities that are built into your marquee. The marquee company will be responsible for the structure surrounding the loos and you should discuss your requirements with them. Please note that in these situations delivery of the loos should be timed to coincide with the erection of the marquee.
