Across England, thousands of distribution yards, vehicle storage compounds and open storage sites operate every day with no toilets on site. Drivers, contractors and visitors arrive, ask to use facilities – and are often told there aren’t any. What feels like a small oversight can quickly become a legal, operational and reputational issue.
The fix doesn’t need planning permission, drainage or disruption. For less than the cost of a single missed delivery, you can keep your site compliant, hygienic and professional with fully serviced portable toilets – delivered and maintained by euroloo.
The Hidden Cost of Having No Toilets
Downtime and Delays
Every time a visiting driver leaves site to find a toilet, turnaround times stretch. Multiply that by ten deliveries a day and the lost time easily outweighs the weekly cost of hiring two portable toilets. Productivity losses can run into hundreds of pounds per month – all for want of basic welfare provision.
Reputational Damage
Driver forums and social media highlight “no toilet” sites regularly. The reputational cost – especially in tight logistics chains – can damage relationships with hauliers and contractors who prioritise professional facilities.
Compliance Risks
Under the Health and Safety (Welfare) Regulations 1992, anyone “at work” on your premises – including visiting drivers – must have access to toilets and handwashing. If indoor access isn’t practical, suitable alternatives such as portable toilets must be provided. Source: HSE – Welfare at work.
Two Smart Options That Pay for Themselves
1. Premium Portable Toilets – Quick Compliance, Low Cost
Perfect for depots, compounds and open storage sites, our premium portable toilets provide an instant, professional welfare solution:
- Fast delivery & installation – no mains or groundwork needed
- Weekly servicing by euroloo’s own teams
- Clean, secure and self-contained
- From £70 per week for two units –often less than one delayed load
2. Solar-Powered Off-Grid Toilet Pods – Sustainable Comfort
For larger or sustainability-driven sites, our ecowelfare pods deliver full facilities with net-zero performance:
- 4- and 6-toilet models with sinks, heating and lighting
- Fully off-grid and solar-powered – ideal for remote locations
- From around £300 per week for visible, ESG-ready comfort
Both options meet HSE standards without capital expense and can also provide extra capacity for staff or visitors if your existing toilets are overstretched.
The Productivity Payback
Reduced Downtime
On-site toilets keep drivers on site, reducing turnaround delays and gatehouse interruptions – smoother operations and faster throughput when it matters most.
Better Driver Relationships
Facilities matter. When your site looks after drivers, you’ll see fewer disputes, faster compliance checks and stronger supplier loyalty.
Improved Hygiene and Morale
Clean, accessible toilets show professionalism to everyone – drivers, customers, auditors – and reduce hygiene issues elsewhere on site.
ESG and Sustainability Alignment
ecowelfare solar powered toilets units contribute directly to your ESG reporting and demonstrate low-carbon operations – with no civil works or disruption.
Example Setups
- Distribution yards: Two standard units beside loading bays; optional welfare pod near the gatehouse for 24-hour access.
- Vehicle storage compounds: Two toilets and a hand-wash station by the entrance, serviced weekly.
- Remote open storage land: One solar ecowelfare pod for visitors and contractors working off-grid.
Each setup can be installed within minutes from delievery and serviced on schedule by euroloo’s in-house teams.
Costs and ROI at a Glance
- Premuim portable toilees toilets: ≈ £70 per week for two units
- Solar powered toilet pod: ≈ £300 per week (4 -6 toilets, net-zero operation)
Compared with the cost of one missed delivery or operational stoppage, these solutions more than pay for themselves.
