Who Uses Site Accommodation?

Site accommodation is used by construction contractors, infrastructure teams, rail and civil engineering companies, utility providers, event organisers, and emergency response teams. 

These units are essential in any setting where on-site staff require secure, functional space for work or welfare. 

As projects often occur in locations with no access to facilities, temporary accommodation ensures a safe and comfortable environment for staff.

How Much Does Site Accommodation Hire Cost?

The cost of site accommodation hire is £50 to £200 per week.

The cost of hire depends on the type of unit, size, features, and hire duration. 

Smaller units such as single offices or toilets are at the lower end, while larger or specialist units like canteens or sleeper cabins may carry higher weekly rates. 

Since longer hire periods often qualify for reduced rates, multi-month or long-term hire can be more cost-effective.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring Site Accommodation?

Hiring site accommodation gives you immediate access to essential on-site facilities without the cost, complexity, or delay of building permanent structures. 

Key benefits include:

• Fast delivery and installation to get your project operational quickly
• Lower upfront cost compared to building permanent offices or welfare blocks
• Flexible layouts to accommodate site offices, toilets, canteens, or sleeping areas
• Scalable units that can be added, removed, or reconfigured as project needs change
• Built-in insulation, heating, and ventilation for year-round usability
• Fully CDM-compliant welfare options that support health and safety requirements
• Durable steel construction for security and weather resistance
• Customisable interiors to match staffing levels and site size
• Minimal disruption during setup, relocation, or removal
• Ideal for short-term or long-term hire depending on project duration
• Off-grid compatibility with generators, water tanks, and waste systems
• Enhanced staff wellbeing through clean, functional, and purpose-built facilities
• Support for mobile, remote, or phased works where no permanent infrastructure exists

What Types of Site Accommodation Units Are Available?

A full range of units is available, including offices, meeting rooms, welfare cabins, drying rooms, toilets, canteens, and sleeping accommodation. 

These can be delivered as standalone cabins or configured as part of a larger complex, depending on the size and demands of the site. 

As all units are modular, they can be added or removed as the project progresses, making them easy to scale and adjust.

What Types of Sites Require Accommodation Units?

Site accommodation is required in any location where staff need access to workspace, hygiene facilities, or shelter during the working day. 

This includes construction sites, infrastructure developments, utility installations, and mobile field operations. 

As most of these sites lack fixed buildings, temporary units ensure safe, compliant working conditions from the first day of work.

Can Site Accommodation Be Used Year-Round?

Site accommodation units are built for year-round use, with insulation, heating, and ventilation included as standard in most models. 

This ensures they remain comfortable and functional in all weather conditions. 

Since worksites continue through all seasons, these features are essential for staff safety and productivity.

Can Site Accommodation Units Be Connected to Utilities?

All units can be connected to mains electricity, water, and waste systems if available on-site. 

Alternatively, they can operate with generators, water tanks, and waste storage systems for off-grid locations. 

As not every site has direct utility access, we offer flexible options to ensure your accommodation functions as a fully independent facility.

Do We Provide Toilets, Showers, and Welfare Facilities?

Welfare units with toilets, sinks, showers, drying rooms, and kitchenettes are available and can be supplied as stand-alone cabins or as part of a larger accommodation block. 

Since health and safety standards require employers to provide adequate on-site welfare, our units are designed to meet CDM regulations and HSE guidance. 

These facilities improve hygiene, staff morale, and overall compliance on-site.

Can Site Accommodation Include Separate Male and Female Welfare Areas?

Separate male and female welfare areas can be provided by configuring multiple cabins or sectioning interiors with partitions. 

Since inclusivity and hygiene standards are critical on modern worksites, this setup supports staff privacy and helps ensure your site complies with HSE recommendations. 

We can configure layouts during the planning stage to accommodate your team structure and welfare policies.

Is Groundwork Required Before Installing Site Accommodation?

Most site accommodation can be installed with minimal or no groundwork, depending on cabin type and site conditions. 

As cabins are designed to sit on level, compacted surfaces or simple jack pads, they can be placed quickly with little disruption. 

For larger or linked setups, our team can advise on any preparation required to ensure safe and stable installation.

Can Units Be Delivered to Remote or Hard-to-Reach Sites?

Delivery to remote, rural, or difficult-access sites is possible using a combination of flatbed trucks and lifting equipment. 

As site accommodation is modular and mobile, it can be transported efficiently, even to non-standard locations. 

We carry out a site access check before delivery and offer solutions for limited access or uneven terrain.

How Quickly Can Site Accommodation Be Delivered?

Standard units can usually be delivered and installed within 24 to 72 hours.

Delivery time depends on your location and cabin type. 

Since we maintain a large fleet of ready-to-despatch units, we can respond quickly to most requests. 

Installation is typically completed in a single day, allowing your team to begin using the space immediately.

Are the Cabins Secure and Weatherproof?

All cabins are built with secure steel construction, lockable doors and windows, and fully weather-sealed panels. 

These features ensure the safety of staff, equipment, and confidential materials in all working conditions. 

As site accommodation is often left unattended after hours, strong security and durable materials are standard across our range.

Can Site Accommodation Be Relocated?

Units can be repositioned on-site or relocated entirely to a new location if your project moves. 

As the cabins are modular and self-contained, they can be transported with minimal effort, making them ideal for multi-stage developments or mobile teams. 

We handle all transport and reinstallation to ensure a smooth transition.

Do We Provide Maintenance and Support During Hire?

Full maintenance and support are provided throughout the hire period to keep your cabins in excellent working condition. 

Since site conditions change and equipment may need adjustments, our team is available to resolve any issues promptly. 

This ensures your site remains safe, functional, and compliant at all times.

Are the Units Compliant with Health and Safety Standards?

All our accommodation units are built to meet current UK health and safety regulations, including CDM (Construction Design and Management) requirements. 

As many projects require welfare provision by law, our cabins are configured to support compliance with regulations relating to hygiene, working conditions, and staff welfare. 

Each unit is inspected and maintained to ensure standards are upheld throughout the hire period.

How Long Can You Hire Site Accommodation For?

Hire periods range from a few weeks to several months or more. 

Site Accommodation Company provides flexible leasing terms.

You can extend your hire as needed, or adjust the number and type of units depending on project demands. 

Since long-term hires usually offer lower weekly costs, many clients benefit from cost savings by securing cabins for the full duration of their project.

Can Site Accommodation Be Used for Overnight Stays or 24-Hour Operation?

We provide sleeper cabins and units designed for round-the-clock use, including rest areas, staff lodgings, and on-call facilities.

As some projects require night shifts or response teams on standby, these units include beds, heating, lighting, and secure access.

This ensures safety and comfort during overnight occupancy.

We configure sleeping accommodation to meet your staffing levels and schedule needs.

Can Site Accommodation Be Used for Staff Training or Inductions?

Office or meeting room cabins can be set up as training or induction spaces.

Since staff undergo site inductions or safety briefings, we can provide units with seating, AV equipment, desks, and whiteboards to create a dedicated training area.

This supports safer site onboarding and ensures new personnel are ready to work from day one.

Is Internet or Wi-Fi Available in Site Accommodation?

Internet connectivity can be added through portable routers or external network solutions depending on your location.

Since reliable communication is essential for managing site operations, we can assist in setting up Wi-Fi within your office or welfare units.

If your site is remote or has limited mobile signal, we offer signal-boosting solutions to maintain connectivity.

Do You Need Insurance for Hired Site Accommodation?

You are typically responsible for insuring the units while on hire, covering risks such as damage, fire, or theft.

As policies vary between providers, we recommend confirming with your insurer whether your existing site or contractor policy extends to hired accommodation.

Our team can provide the specifications required for your insurer and guidance on best practices.

Can Site Accommodation Be Custom-Branded?

Cabins can be supplied with custom signage, branding, or exterior finishes to align with your company identity or project requirements.

This includes decals, safety signage, directional labels, and even corporate colours.

As they help increase visibility and reinforce your company’s presence on site, branding options are especially useful for high-profile infrastructure projects or public-facing events.

What Happens if Project Timeline Changes Mid-Hire?

If your project extends or changes in scope, your hire contract can be adjusted accordingly.

As we offer flexible terms, you can extend the duration, add extra units, or reconfigure your setup as needed without disruption.

Our goal is to ensure your site remains fully supported throughout all project phases.
