Quick Answer
If you’re carrying out external works and don’t have access to building toilets,
hiring a portable toilet is the simplest way to stay compliant and keep work moving.
Most external works only need a single portable toilet, positioned close to the work area
and collected once the job is complete.
External works often mean contractors are working outside a building with no access
to internal toilet facilities. This is common on maintenance jobs, repairs, upgrades
and short-term external projects.
Hiring a portable toilet for external works is a normal, practical solution used by
trade and commercial teams to keep sites compliant and productive.

What most people do for external works

work is underway, and collected once the job is finished.
This avoids the need to use internal facilities or interrupt work.
