Travis Perkins Hire is offering advice on portable toilets to independent builders and small to medium sized construction firms as many head back to sites at the end of the summer holidays.
Alice Wise, head of category for Travis Perkins Hire, says: “Portable toilets are non-negotiable on any construction site. Gone are the days of tradespeople having to travel off-site in search of facilities.
“If you want to make sure your sanitation is in the best hands, then Travis Perkins can help. We have an unrivalled knowledge of portable toilet hire for construction sites, operate across most of the UK and our fleet will get them delivered to you on time.”
Travis Perkins partners with a selection of approved portable toilet suppliers to provide a national offering and has answers to a number of questions for those hiring portable toilets.
Q: How many portable toilets should I have on site?
A: If using chemical toilets onsite the BSI Standard recommends one toilet to seven people working a 40-hour week which must be well ventilated and in good working order.
Q: How much access do they need?
A: It’s always advisable to have clear access to the location the toilet will be sited in, and we’d also advise positioning it on level ground. Access to this area should be clear at all times.
Q: How are they emptied?
A: Travis Perkins provides an emptying service for each unit on a weekly basis, though the frequency can be increased.
Q: How much space do I need?
A: Travis Perkins toilet units come in several sizes, and so you should measure the space you have for units on site and take it from there.
