How To Choose A Reliable Event Toilet Supplier
A reliable toilet supplier isn't there just to take your portable toilet booking, They'll also offer you the best advice they can to ensure you event goes smoothly. Want to hear our opinion? Here goes.
When coordinating an event, festival, or any outdoor celebration, one of your biggest considerations will be your guests’ health and safety. No venue is complete without toilets, and portable toilets are a great solution for outdoor events. If you're expecting substantial numbers to attend? Then we can help.
Number of Guests
Before you can even start comparing prices, you’ll need to think about numbers for your event. You’ll need an idea so you can ensure you hire enough facilities to cater for everyone’s needs. Consider the split between guests’ genders too. Women generally need more toilets than men if you want to keep queueing to a minimum.
Women take an average of 90 seconds in the toilets, whilst men take an average of 60 seconds.
So, if you’re expecting an even split, you’re going to need more female toilets than male. By knowing how many guests will be in attendance, you can then turn your attention to your portable toilet hire and how many individual units you’ll need to rent.
There are also additional solutions you can try to offer extra capacity such as urinals or 'Peequals' (female urinals). The bottom lines are reducing the queues and keeping everyone happy.
Type Of Event
If you are not sure about what to hire, we can advise on the number of toilets you need depending on the type of event and numbers attending. For example -Are you providing food and drink? This will affect the number of units you require. We will also recommend additional products that may alleviate queueing or crowded areas such as urinals, sinks or hand sanitisers.
How many hours is your event for? The number of units you need will vary depending on length of activity. If your event offers overnight camping, for example, you may require more units or extra toilet empying and servicing.
How Often Should You Service Your Toilets?
We have lots of experience in this area and can discuss this with you. Depending on the length of your event, number of guests attending and quantities of food and drink, we can offer additional servicing for your units to keep them clean and fresh.
Portable Toilet Placement
Before purchasing your toilet hire, consider the space you have available for units. Are all your toilets together or spread out within your event space? If the venue is not your own, organise a site tour in advance to discuss with the venue management the options available to you.
You’ll also want to ensure the ground you are placing the toilets on is flat and firm. After all, the UK is not known for its pleasant weather, and who wants a toilet sinking into the mud?! On top of picking a large enough space for your event toilets, you also need to have an accessible area, where vehicles can easily enter to deliver, service and pick up the units. For the comfort of your guests, you'll also want them close enough to your main event space, so they don’t have to traipse across large areas in potentially wet weather to use the loo.
