How to choose the right portable toilet for your needs

05 November 2024

Whether you’re looking for a portable toilet for a house party, or are a seasoned event co-ordinator, the choice of units on the market is overwhelming. Here, we help you narrow the choice.

With over 25 years’ experience in the events industry, we have supplied portable toilet hire to every type of public, private and corporate event, so we understand that choosing the right portable toilet for your needs is essential. Before making your decision, ask yourself the following questions.

Questions to ask when choosing portable toilets for hire

Is portable toilet hire suitable for my event? – Portable toilets are suitable for every type of event. We have supplied wedding toilet hire, toilets for concerts and festivals, refurb and reno projects, high footfall sporting fixtures (including race meetings and the Silverstone F1 event), as well as small family gatherings and community fundraisers. So whatever the event, there are portable toilets for you.

Are there any other existing facilities? – Does your event venue have toilets and if so, are there enough and are they of a high enough standard? We have smaller units that can be used in conjunction with permanent facilities, as well as larger trailers that are suitable as the sole facilities for large numbers of guests.

Do I need standard or luxury toilet hire? – Plastic portable toilets have a part to play in certain sectors as they are cost effective, functional and quickly installed. Undoubtedly, though, the type of toilet you choose will reflect directly on the calibre and reputation of your event. Read Luxury or standard portable toilets? to find out more.

How many portable toilets do I need? – The most frequently asked question and one of the most important. Factors to consider include length of event, whether refreshments will be served and what the ratio of males to females will be. How many portable toilets do I need? will point you in the right direction and our experienced team can advise you further.

Individual product pages for both our luxury toilet hire and our standard toilet hire will give full descriptions of each unit, the guest numbers they will accommodate, plus precise dimensions. To save you a little time, the following at-a-glance guide will help.
