Toilet Hire for Home Renovations
Keep your home private and your builders compliant with dedicated portable toilet facilities. Short and long-term hire available UK-wide.
Why Hire a Portable Toilet for Your Renovation?
Having builders use your home toilet can feel intrusive — and during major renovations, your facilities may not even be accessible. A portable toilet is the simple, practical solution.
Keep Your Home Private
Stop tradespeople traipsing through your home. A dedicated external toilet keeps your living space private and clean.
Legal Requirement
Under HSE regulations, employers must provide adequate welfare facilities for workers. A portable toilet fulfils this obligation for your contractors.
Save Time on Site
Workers spend less time away from the job. A toilet on site reduces trips off site and keeps your project on schedule.
Suitable Units for Building Projects
Standard Portable Toilet
The most popular choice for home renovations. Compact, robust and easy to position in a driveway or garden. Available on short or long-term hire.
Welfare Unit
For larger projects with multiple tradespeople, a welfare unit provides toilet facilities plus a rest area with seating — meeting full HSE welfare requirements.
Toilet & Sink Combo
Units with an integrated handwash basin — ideal when no external water supply is available on site. Promotes hygiene on site.
Secure & Lockable Units
All units come with locks for security when site is unoccupied overnight or at weekends, protecting against vandalism and unauthorised use.
How to Choose the Right Supplier for Your Renovation
Choosing the right portable toilet supplier for your building project is straightforward — here's what to look for.
Unit Size & Footprint
Measure your available space before booking. Standard units are around 1.2m x 1.2m. Confirm the supplier can access your site with their delivery vehicle.
Flexible Hire Periods
Renovations often overrun. Choose a supplier offering weekly rolling hire so you can extend easily without penalty if your project takes longer than expected.
Regular Servicing Included
Check how often the unit will be emptied and restocked. Weekly servicing is standard — for larger crews, you may need more frequent visits.
Local Supplier
Choose a local supplier where possible — they can respond faster for emergency servicing or unit swaps and delivery charges will be lower.
All-Inclusive Pricing
Get a quote that includes delivery, collection, weekly servicing and VAT. Avoid suppliers who charge separately for each service visit.
Check Reviews
Look for suppliers with strong local reviews. Reliability and cleanliness are the most important factors — check these specifically in customer feedback.
Home Renovation Toilet Hire FAQs
❓ How long can I hire a portable toilet for?
Most suppliers offer hire from a minimum of 1 week up to several months. Rolling weekly hire is the most flexible option for renovation projects where the timeline may change.
❓ Where can the unit be positioned?
Units can be placed on driveways, gardens or any hard standing area with suitable vehicle access for delivery. They don't require connection to mains drainage or water supply.
❓ Do I need planning permission for a portable toilet?
No — portable toilets on private property for building work do not require planning permission. They are a temporary structure for the duration of the works.
❓ What happens if the unit needs emptying more frequently?
Simply call your supplier and arrange an additional service visit. Most suppliers can accommodate extra visits at a reasonable additional cost.
❓ Is it my responsibility or the builder's to hire the toilet?
Legally, the employer (your main contractor) is responsible for providing welfare facilities for workers. However, many homeowners arrange this directly for convenience and to maintain control over placement and cleanliness.
