How Many Toilets Do You Need?

The number of portable toilets you need depends on several factors, including the number of people attending, the length of hire, whether food or drink is being served, and whether the toilets will be serviced during the hire period.

Number of PeopleSuggested Toilets
Up to 501–2 toilets
50–1002–3 toilets
100–2504–6 toilets
250–5006–10 toilets

If alcohol is being served or the event lasts all day, additional units may be required. Most suppliers can recommend the right number based on your requirements.

Do You Need Toilet Servicing?

For short-term hires such as weekend events, servicing is often not required. However, servicing may be recommended when toilets are hired for multiple weeks, the number of users is high, or the toilets are being used on a construction site.

Regular servicing helps maintain cleanliness, replenish consumables and ensure the units remain fully operational throughout the hire period.

Toilet Hire for Weddings

Wedding toilet hire often differs from standard event toilet hire. Many people choose luxury toilet trailers or premium event toilets with lighting, mirrors and a more suitable finish for formal events.

When planning wedding toilet hire, consider guest numbers, site access, distance from the main venue, and whether power or water connections are required.

Toilet Hire for Construction Sites

Construction sites often require a different type of toilet hire arrangement. Depending on the project, you may need standard portable toilets, welfare units, mains-connected units or regular servicing schedules.

Important factors include the number of site workers, project duration, access for delivery vehicles and welfare requirements.

Not All Toilet Hire Suppliers Are the Same

When comparing suppliers, it is important to look beyond price alone. A reputable supplier should provide well-maintained equipment, reliable delivery and collection, appropriate servicing arrangements, relevant waste management licences and responsive customer support.
