1+1 Double Mains Toilet Block 8ft x 5ft – Green

Hired portable loos make sense for a short job. Over a long enough hire the invoices add up, and that is the point at which buying an 8 ft x 5 ft double mains toilet starts to look like the sensible option. It is a green-finished steel cabin with two pans and two hand basins behind separate doors, built for schools, clubs, small factories, transport yards and civil projects that will be in the same place for a year or more.

Construction is the same as the industrial cabin range: double-sided galvanised steel sheet, PU foam insulation through walls and ceiling, and a cement-bonded floor plate topped with aluminium chequer plate. Wipe-clean board lines the walls, and a mechanical extractor handles ventilation in place of windows, which also removes an obvious break-in point.

Running costs once it is in

The economics change once you are on mains. There is no tanker booking, no waste levy per service and no weekend call-out when a holding tank fills early. Power draw is limited to lighting and the extractor fan, so it can sit on a single 10 A circuit from the site board.

Choosing between a toilet block and a conversion

Buyers often compare this with a container fitted out as an ablution block. A purpose-built cabin like this one is lighter, cheaper to cart and already plumbed; a container conversion is more secure and stacks. If you are still deciding, the pricing picture across both approaches is set out in our Australian container price guide, and comparable units are listed under cabins for sale.
