A complete guide to disabled toilet hire - everything you need to know

Disabled toilet hire plays a vital role in providing inclusive facilities when planning an event or managing a construction site. Here we tell you everything you need to know about portable disabled toilet hire.

Why choose disabled portable toilet hire?

Accessible toilets ensure that individuals with mobility challenges can comfortably access, and safely use, toilet facilities. At Wight Event Toilets, our luxury disabled toilet hire includes units that are not only designed to comply with legal requirements but that also promote inclusivity, ensuring everyone feels welcome.

Portable disabled toilets cater to various needs by featuring enhanced space, support systems, and practical design. They’re essential for outdoor events, festivals, construction projects, and temporary public spaces.

Key features of portable disabled toilets

Our luxury portable disabled toilets have been designed and manufactured with specific features to accommodate wheelchair users and their carers, and people with reduced mobility. Features include:

•    Spacious interiors - larger dimensions allow wheelchair users to move freely and access fixtures comfortably. Spacious interiors also allow carers to accompany the disabled user.
•    Support rails - strategically placed grab bars provide stability for users as they move within the unit.
•    Non-slip flooring - ensures safety by reducing the risk of slips and falls.
•    Reduced-level fixtures – accessible sinks, mirrors, and toilets are positioned at a height suitable for seated users.
•    Wide doorways and ramps - easy access is provided for wheelchairs through wider doorways and ramp entry.
•    Emergency alarms – an emergency pull cord is available to enable users to signal for help in case of an emergency. 

UK regulations for portable disabled toilets

In the UK, accessibility is governed by several legal frameworks and guidelines, including:

•    The Equality Act 2010 which requires event organisers and site managers to provide reasonable adjustments for disabled individuals, including toilet facilities.
•    The Disability Act 2010 states that disabled amenities available MUST match the standard of non-disabled facilities. 
•    BS8300 Standards - these standards offer detailed guidance on the design and dimensions of accessible toilets to ensure they meet the needs of users.
•    Health and Safety Regulations - for construction sites, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) mandates adequate and appropriate welfare facilities for all workers. 

Disabled toilet hire that conforms with these regulations, ensures that organisers are compliant while reinforcing their commitment to inclusivity.

When to hire portable disabled toilets

Hiring portable disabled toilets is ideal for various scenarios, including:

•    Outdoor events - festivals, concerts, markets, and fairs will have disabled visitors and attendees who require temporary toilet facilities.
•    Construction sites - long-term projects must provide inclusive welfare facilities for workers and visitors.
•    Private functions - weddings, parties, and family gatherings in outdoor settings all benefit from disabled toilet hire.
•    Public spaces – public parks, temporary exhibitions, and sporting events often use portable disabled toilets to meet accessibility needs.

Tips for successful portable disabled toilet hire

•    Assess individual needs – how many toilets you need will be based on your event size or workforce. Our friendly and experienced team can help you determine the best combination of units. 
•    Accessibility placement – disabled toilet units should be positioned on level ground with clear, unobstructed access paths. Again, our staff can advise on the best location for the units at your venue.
