How to choose the right toilet hire company for your event

How to choose the right toilet hire company for your event

We understand how challenging it can be to source the right suppliers for your needs so, in our latest guide, we’ll help you to recognise the right toilet hire company for your event.

If you’ve never hired luxury toilets before, how do you find a reputable supplier in today’s saturated market? It’s vital to do your research and the following are the areas we know are important to our clients.

Choose a toilet hire company with experience

We all start somewhere but if this is your first time sourcing luxury toilet hire, using an experienced supplier will help. At WET Hire, we offer our clients the benefit of over a decade of experience in the events industry, giving you the reassurance and peace of mind that your needs are being met and that you are in safe hands. 

What types of luxury portable toilets do they have?

A reputable toilet hire company will offer a wide choice of units suitable for every occasion and event. At WET Hire, we supply only luxury portable toilets that vary in size and capacity. Our smallest unit, the 1+1 Luxury Toilet is the perfect smaller trailer for up to 100 people, while our largest trailer the mighty 8-Bay Luxury Toilet, is more than enough for up to 400 guests. Additionally, we offer our new-this-year Shepherd’s Hut Toilets, a disabled toilet and an 18-bay urinal.  

To ensure we are able to provide everything our clients may need, we also offer mobile shower hire, fridge trailer hire, and mains drain hire for long-term contracts.

Delivery, installation and collection

A good toilet hire company will take responsibility for the transportation and set up of all units. At Wight Event Toilets, our experienced technicians will ensure your team is briefed in the running of the units before we leave your site, and all units will be in perfect working order. At the end of the hire period, we will collect the units and remove them for legal disposal of all waste. 

PLEASE NOTE: in the UK only businesses registered with The Environment Agency are qualified to transport and dispose of hazardous waste, so ask whether the company is a licence holder. 

Maintenance of portable toilet units

Question your potential supplier about their hygiene standards! A good supplier will be happy to discuss their cleaning schedules and will provide ongoing servicing and maintenance throughout your hire period. 

How flexible is the toilet hire company?

Your supplier should understand that the events industry doesn’t keep office hours! From time to time, customers need delivery or collection at unusual times and a reputable company will endeavour to accommodate this whenever possible. 

Luxury toilet hire prices

If you are working to a budget, it’s vital that your supplier understands this and presents you with transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. At WET Hire, we give a ‘price from’ on every product and all our prices are available online. However, we will always take into account such factors as guest numbers, type of toilet unit, servicing needs, and set-up costs before providing you with a bespoke quote, tailored to your exact requirements. Currently, our luxury toilet trailers start from £495 +VAT, with our smallest shepherd’s hut unit starting at £780 +VAT. Shower units begin at £495 +VAT and our fridge trailer from £300+VAT. Our quotations will be broken down so there are no ‘extras’ but please be aware that prices here do not include mileage charges. 

Availability of toilet units

With an extensive range of units, we are able to fulfil all orders but we do have peak times throughout the year (think wedding season and festive celebrations). We would always suggest getting in touch as early as possible once your event date is confirmed, to avoid disappointment. 

What customer support is there throughout the hire period?

Always ensure you can contact your supplier in the event of an emergency. We give all our customers 24-hour access to our emergency number which puts them straight through to our dedicated technicians. 

Establish a good relationship with your supplier

We’re great believers in forging good relationships with our customers. Your supplier should have open and honest channels of communication with you, and be happy to answer any and all your questions – no matter how silly you think they are.
