chrisb Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Just had an unbeatable quote for site toilet hire from http://www.tlcloohire.co.uk/ They charge £25 each way for delivery and £23/week. Initial hire is 4 weeks. They are not VAT registered, which helps me, but perhaps not everyone. Selco were the next cheapest I found and they started at £29/week +VAT. I have ordered a loo and will report on service in due course.
Triassic Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I'm about to build a site loo out of demolition leftovers, a close coupled loo, a small sink, 3x2" and OSB. luckily I've got water and a septic tank on site. Overall it'll save me a few hundred quid which I can put to better use elsewhere.
chrisb Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 Servicing included. I have mains services, the house is still habitable, but its easier than having door key issues and boots on my floor. The interesting thing is that we seem to have ground-nesting wasps in the front lawn, right where the bog will go. I'll soon see on the CCTV if any of the guys makes a rapid exit :-) 1
PeterW Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Travis Perkins is cheapest near us at £23+VAT and £10 delivery for the usual type of service. I use the local guy who did my groundworks - he is charging £20/wk and no VAT...
NSS Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 We dispensed with the portaloo as soon as we had a water connection and, having now fitted the bathrooms, I have a WC and pedestal basin (with tap) spare if anyone can make use of them and is willing to collect from Southampton area.

Your better off buying one i paid £120 emptied twice in the last ten month due another on Friday £30 a time i bought a 25 lite of toilet solution and added some each week and hosed out the muddy boot prints each week probably sell it for the same as I paid when we have finished
jack Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 47 minutes ago, nod said: emptied twice in the last ten month How many of you on site? During busy times with several people onsite, the portable toilet was reeking after a week. Can't imagine going months without a change! For £25 a week or whatever it was, I was happy not to have to faff around with buying, selling, and maintaining it. Plenty of other stuff to worry about during that period!
nod Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Busiest time there was five of us could only smell the additive As I've already stated I hosed and cleaned it out once a week Far cleaner than many I've seen Though I don't think that I would want to sit on a porta loo i worked on a site for a very large contractor Opened the door of a four cubical toilet van type A rat ran past me I reported it to the site manager Without looking up He shouted Did you kill it ! A week later there in house HSE was having a winge about vis vests I mentioned the state of the toilet block He replied I don't get involved with that stuff See the site manager With the exception of city centre sites Things are still pretty grim on many sites

jack Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Jesus, how many of you are using these things? During the peak of our build (max number of people onsite) in summer, the toilet was utterly dire by the end of each week. Maybe they don't use much solution in the serviced ones, so it deteriorates faster.

Even then, the hand washing water tank would often run out between weekly services, and I'd have to fill it back up with 25 litre containers ferried 16 miles from our old house, as we had no water on site.
Ferdinand Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I think service connections early plus a semi-permanent loo, and a creative way of accessing water, are indicated, since we need no water connection later to confound the Council Tax Inspector later .
