Temporary Site Accommodation
Our anti-vandal temporary units provide secure offices, canteens, and drying rooms built to latest safety regulations. These durable solutions suit construction sites requiring reliable accommodation for staff and equipment storage. Units undergo regular inspections to maintain quality standards while offering flexibility for hire or purchase options.
Secure Storage Containers
Available in multiple sizes from 7x8ft to 40x8ft, our Cor-ten steel containers offer high-security storage with corrugated exteriors. Features include anti-jemmy systems in tool vaults and single-door options for smaller sites. Both new and used units maintain optimal security for protecting valuable equipment on construction projects.
Solo Welfare Units
The Solo range includes 6, 16, and Combi models meeting HSE requirements. These self-contained units feature chemical toilets, generators, and drying rooms with anti-vandal construction. Designed for construction, rail, and highways contractors, they accommodate 6-16 people with both towable and static options available.
Modular Buildings
Compliant with building regulations, these adaptable structures serve as offices, restrooms, or educational facilities. Constructed for durability with insulation, electrics, and heating included. Customisable configurations meet specific project requirements while maintaining quick installation and removal capabilities.
Portable Toilet Hire
We supply single toilet units and multi-unit blocks for temporary sanitation needs. Available for hire with regular maintenance services, these units ensure hygiene compliance on construction sites and at outdoor events. Anti-vandal features protect against damage in high-risk environments.
