A complete checklist for booking luxury toilet hire for your festive event 04 November 2025 If you’re planning a Christmas party, a winter wedding, or an end-of-year corporate celebration, don’t overlook one of the most important guest experiences — the toilets! Luxury portable toilets can make or break your guests’ enjoyment of the event, so we’ve put together a handy checklist to help event planners in London and across The Home Counties get it right the first time. Estimate guest numbers early Before booking your event toilets, confirm your guest list, allowing for a buffer of 5-10%. Obviously, the greater number of guests, the more toilets you will need. Remember, too that events serving refreshments and food will need extra facilities. Generally, the minimum suggested is one toilet for every 75 female guests and one for every 400 males. See How many portable toilets do I need? for more on this. Choose the right luxury portable toilet unit At Fortis Hire, our range of luxury toilets comprises a variety of sizes and configurations. They are suitable for weddings, private parties, corporate events and both indoor and outdoor celebrations. Individual product descriptions include a floorplan plus potential capacity to help you, and of course our staff will be happy to advise. We also offer disabled toilet facilities for inclusivity and accessibility, which include baby-changing facilities, perfect for family-friendly events. Check site access and space Luxury toilet units vary in width and length but each product page has specifications plus dimensions to help you. If you’re not sure whether a particular unit will fit in your location, get in touch and we will advise. We need firm, flat ground to set up on, and sufficient room for delivery vehicle access. Choose locations that will give guests enough room to queue too! Power and water requirements Luxury portable toilets need an electric supply for lighting and water pumps, so confirm that there is access to a power socket or generator. At Fortis Hire, we can put you in contact with reputable companies if generator hire is required. Ask your hire company if self-contained water tanks are included — all our luxury units at Fortis Hire have their own hot water system so no mains water supply is necessary. Schedule delivery and collection The festive period is busy so book as early as possible and confirm logistics: • Allow for set-up at least one day before your event. • Arrange for collection after all guests have left (you don’t want a queue when the loos disappear!). • Double-check site access times with your venue. Discuss cleaning and servicing For multi-day or high-traffic events, arrange regular cleaning and waste emptying. Fortis Hire can arrange mid-event servicing for events lasting several days. Ask about attendants for continuous cleanliness and restocking – we can put you in touch with contractors trusted to do this. Discuss the finishing touches The luxury is in the details so discuss adding fresh flowers or festive decorations and diffusers. With Fortis Hire, all the toiletries are provided and all hand wash and moisturisers are indulgent, high end brands. Confirm insurance and contingency plans Check that your toilet hire company provides public liability insurance and that they will offer emergency support or replacement units in case of issues. Our units have public liability insurance but customers are required to have insurance in place against damage, vandalism, or theft. All customers are given 24-hour telephone access to our team of emergency technicians. Book early — especially for festive events Christmas and New Year’s events always book up fast. Secure your luxury toilet hire at least 4–6 weeks in advance to avoid disappointment.
