Essential Guide to Portable Toilet Hire: Ensuring Cleanliness and Convenience

When you think about portable  toilet hire, what do you consider the most crucial aspect? Is it the flush  tank, the sink, the pump, or the seat? Surprisingly, none of these elements  top the list. The most important part of any portable toilet hire is the regular  service it receives.

 

The Importance of Regular Servicing

 

Regardless of the make or model  of the portable toilet you hire, they all function similarly. What truly  matters is whether the unit is emptied, refilled, and cleaned thoroughly on a  regular basis. A consistent servicing schedule ensures that your portable  toilet remains fresh and sanitary throughout the week.

 

Missing a service can result in the waste tank becoming overloaded, leading to unpleasant odors and an unhygienic environment. Additionally, a lack of cleaning will cause the interior to  become increasingly dirty.

 

At D-tox, with over 30 years  of experience in the portable toilet hire industry, we understand the critical importance of  weekly maintenance. We service over 1,000 toilets across the UK every week to  ensure they are in optimal condition.

 

Ensuring Accessible Locations for Servicing

 

Our weekly service guarantee hinges on the  accessibility of the toilets. Occasionally, we are unable to complete a  service due to obstructions like parked cars or skips blocking access to the  unit. To take full advantage of our service guarantee, ensure your toilet is  in an easily accessible location.

 

Our vehicles are equipped with hoses that can reach up to 20 meters, but we must be within this range to  perform maintenance. If access is blocked, our drivers will document the  issue with notes and pictures, which you will receive via email, confirming our  attempt to service your unit.

 

Calculating the Number of Toilets You Need

 

To maintain sanitary  conditions, it's crucial to have enough portable toilets for the number of  users. A single unit is designed for up to seven people working a standard  40-hour week. Overuse can lead to unsanitary conditions, even with regular  servicing.
 
To determine the right number of units for your event needs, use our toilet calculator.

For construction toilets, one toilet unit is designed for use by 7 people who  are working up to a 40 hour week.

Consult our experienced hire team for  advice.

 

We can also schedule additional  servicing to accommodate higher usage.

 

For reliable and clean portable  toilet hire, regular servicing and appropriate unit numbers are key. Trust Dtox for  your portable toilet needs, and ensure a positive experience for all users. Contact us today!
