Standard portable toilet hire — construction and sites

For construction site use, standard portable toilets typically cost £40–£55 per unit per week on a four-week or longer hire, including weekly servicing. Shorter hires cost slightly more per week to cover delivery and collection costs.

Event toilet hire costs

Event hire is typically priced per unit per day rather than per week. Pricing depends on the number of units, duration of the event and whether servicing during the event is required.

Unit typeDay hire cost
Standard event portable (single day)£60–£90
Luxury toilet trailer (2+1, single day)£350–£600
VIP luxury bathroom trailer (single day)£600–£1,200
Urinal unit (single day)£80–£140
Event attendant (full day)£150–£300

What affects the price?

Location: Remote or rural locations will have higher delivery charges. City centre locations may have access surcharges.

Hire length: Longer hires get lower weekly rates. A 3-month construction hire will cost significantly less per week than a 2-week hire.

Number of units: Ordering multiple units at once from the same supplier usually brings the per-unit cost down.

Type of unit: Standard chemical portables are cheapest. Welfare units, luxury trailers and mains-connected units cost more.

Servicing frequency: More frequent servicing (especially for events) increases the overall cost but is essential for larger events.
