This depends on the size and type of your event and therefore which products you require. It also depends on how far your venue is from our depots and whether your event is to be held at a peak time of year.
Please contact us for a quotation specific to your event.
The facilities contain automatic air fresheners and a sweet smelling chemical is used in the toilets themselves. Providing the toilets are not used in excess of their stated capacity (see range), then there should be no unpleasant smell at all.

For a typical event such as a wedding or private party that lasts for no more than 12 hours, the portable toilet 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.
Your delivery and installation time can be discussed at the time of your booking. Usually the portable toilets 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.
Our portable toilets are delivered to site with a 4×4 and trailer or a van and trailer.
Our luxury toilet trailers are delivered using a 4×4.

The welfare unit will be towed to site, our units do not need the added costs involved with cranes or hi-abs but do require vehicular access.
A welfare unit is designed for between 6 and 8 people depending on the specific unit ordered.
Water: The luxury loos that we supply are fully self-contained and 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 toilet trailers 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. However, the luxury toilet trailers are quite manoeuvrable and we will always do our best to site it exactly where you want it and to make up any height difference during installation. 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.
