What the Regulations Require
- One per 30 workers, per sex. The construction regulations set at least one sanitary facility for each sex for every 30 workers.
- Showers on bigger sites. At least one shower facility for every 15 persons where they are required.
- Within reasonable access. At or near the site, not a walk that costs twenty minutes a trip.
- Kept clean and serviced. A unit that is not serviced stops counting as a facility.
- Hand washing. A basin or wash stand beside the units, which inspectors do look for.
Running Units on a Live Site
- Place them near the work. And move them as the work moves, which most hires allow for.
- Think about the service truck. A unit the tanker cannot reach is a unit that does not get emptied.
- Secure them. Chained or anchored on open sites. Units do walk.
- Weekly service as a minimum. Twice weekly once the crew grows past about fifteen per unit.
- Add a wash stand. Cheap, and it changes how the facility is used and inspected.
- Plan for the handover. Units usually come off before the final clean, not after.
Scaling With the Programme
- Early works. One or two units for a small ground crew.
- Main build. The headcount peak, which is what the unit count should be set by.
- Finishing trades. Numbers fall but the site is now finished, so unit placement matters more.
- Site office. A VIP or flushing unit for the office is a common and inexpensive addition.
- Long contracts. Beyond a few months, a container ablution unit is usually cheaper and better.

Get the Best QuoteWhat Affects the Price
- How many units. A single delivery covering several units brings the per unit price down.
- How long the hire runs. A six month contract prices better per month than a four week minimum.
- Service frequency. Weekly is the standard and the quoted rate assumes it.
- Where the site is. Transport, and the distance to the disposal works.
- Access on site. Whether the tanker can get within a hose length of each unit.
- Flushing or standard. Standard for the crew, flushing for the site office, is the usual split.
- Moves. Relocating units as the build progresses is sometimes charged per move.
What to Include in Your Request
- The site address. And whether there is a gate a truck can get through.
- The peak headcount. The number the unit count has to be set by.
- The contract length. Start date and roughly how many months.
- Male and female split. Because the regulation is per sex, not per head.
- Whether showers are needed. Which changes the answer towards an ablution unit.
- Access for the service vehicle. The detail that decides whether weekly servicing happens on time.
Before You Put Units on Site
- Set the count from the peak. Not from the crew on day one. Adding units later costs delivery each time.
- Confirm the service day. And who signs for it, so a missed visit is noticed in the week it happens.
- Check the minimum hire period. Four weeks is common, and it applies even to a two week job.
- Ask about moves. Whether relocating a unit on site is included or billed.
- Budget for the wash stands. They cost little and they are what an inspection asks about.
- Compare a container ablution. On anything over three months it is often the cheaper answer.
Construction Toilet Hire FAQs
How many toilets does a construction site need?
The construction regulations require at least one sanitary facility for each sex for every 30 workers. That is a floor rather than a target: on a site where everyone breaks at the same time, one per 30 produces a queue. Most contractors plan on one per 15 to 20 and find it pays for itself.
How often are site toilets serviced?
Weekly as standard, which covers a unit used by up to about ten people. Past that, or in summer, twice a week. The service visit is a pump out, rinse, re-dose and restock, and it is almost always included in the monthly rate rather than billed separately.
What is the minimum hire period?
Usually four weeks, because the delivery and collection cost the same whether the unit stands for a week or a month. For a short job, ask for the delivery and collection to be quoted separately so you can see what you are paying for.
Can units be moved as the site progresses?
Yes, and most hires expect it. Some suppliers include a number of moves in the monthly rate and others charge per move, so ask. Do not move a unit yourself with a telehandler: a split tank on a finished slab is an expensive afternoon.
Do we need showers as well?
Where the regulations call for them, yes, at a figure of at least one shower facility for every 15 persons. On a site with accommodation or dirty trades it is not optional, and a container ablution unit usually answers it better than separate shower cubicles.
What about hand washing?
A wash stand next to the units. It is inexpensive, it is what an inspector asks about, and on a site where people handle materials all day it is the part of the facility that affects health most.
Site hire is the steadiest work for the suppliers on Toilet Rental South Africa and the one where the monthly rate matters most.
