Event toilet hire, temporary power and site facilities

Outdoor events often need facilities beyond what the site already provides. Start with a site plan, the opening hours and the number of people expected on site, then list what you need to bring in. Common requests include portable toilets, accessible units, generator hire, temporary distribution, water and waste services.

Plan portable toilets around your site and guests

Tell suppliers the likely peak attendance, event length and facilities available at the venue. Discuss standard portable units, accessible options and toilet trailers based on the type of event. Show where delivery vehicles can reach, where the units will stand and what the walking route is like for guests. Ask about handwashing provision, consumables and servicing if the event runs over several days.

Send a temporary power brief to the supplier

List the equipment that needs power, including catering appliances, refrigeration, sound, lighting and supplier stalls. Collect equipment details from each provider, ask when items will be running and share the site layout with a temporary power supplier. Discuss generator placement, distribution, noise and cover. Include setup and overnight requirements so the supplier can scope a system around the whole event.

Agree delivery, access and on-site support

Outdoor venue access can change when structures, parked vehicles and guests arrive. Give suppliers delivery and collection windows, details of gates and ground conditions, and a contact for coordinating access. Ask which checks, consumables and servicing are included in the quote and what support is available during the event. Coordinate water, waste and collection arrangements with the relevant operators.

Frequently asked questions

How many portable toilets do I need for an event?

Ask suppliers to make a recommendation based on attendance, event duration, existing toilets, patterns of use and accessibility needs. Share peak times and the site layout so they can advise on locations as well as numbers.

Can I hire an accessible portable toilet?

Request an accessible unit and describe the terrain and approach. Confirm the dimensions and access arrangements with the supplier and venue, including the route from the main event area to the chosen location.

What information do I need for a generator hire quote?

Send the equipment list, power ratings supplied by operators, expected periods of use and the site plan. Include any planned overnight use and ask about distribution, delivery, fuel arrangements and on-site support.
