What Affects the Price
Hire length
Longer hires earn better weekly rates. Short hires carry proportionally more delivery cost.
Number of units
Multi-unit hires are serviced on one visit, which keeps the per-unit rate down.
Location & access
Central London runs £40–£75 for standard units; congestion charge, ULEZ and tricky access are quoted up front.
Servicing frequency
Weekly servicing is included. High-traffic sites and events can add extra visits at a quoted rate.
Is It Cheaper to Buy or Hire a Portaloo?
Hiring is cheaper for almost every temporary need. Buying a unit outright costs £800–£2,000, and ownership means arranging servicing, chemical supply, licensed waste disposal and off-hire storage yourself. Hire from £32 per week bundles all of that into one rate.
Buying only starts to make sense when you need a unit permanently on one fixed site for several years — and even then, servicing still has to come from somewhere. Our toilet servicing plans cover owned units too.
Rule of thumb: under 12 months of need, hire without hesitation. Beyond that, ask us for both numbers — we'll give you an honest comparison.
Standard vs Event vs Accessible — What You Pay For
Standard units (£32–£75/week)
The construction and long-term hire workhorse: robust build, hand wash station, weekly servicing. Most sites need nothing more. See site toilet hire for HSE welfare setups.
Event units (quoted per event)
Cleaner styling, full hygiene kit and optional lighting for weddings and public events. Pricing depends on guest numbers, duration and site — which is why these are quoted per job rather than off a rate card.
Accessible units (£75–£120/week)
DDA compliant with wheelchair access and grab rails. The higher rate reflects the larger unit and lower fleet volume — required wherever public or workforce accessibility applies.
