Why A Modular Building Sanitary Unit Might Be The Solution You’re Looking For

Are you hosting an outdoor event which needs top quality toilet and shower facilities? Or perhaps you’re managing a construction project and want to provide your team with on-site sanitary units they can use during work?

Whatever your reason for seeking high-spec, portable WCs and showers; a modular building can provide the perfect combination of comfort, cleanliness and convenience you’re looking for. And here at Upminster Containers, we can deliver your units quickly and within budget.

Why Choose A Modular Building Sanitary Unit?

Here are the top reasons you should opt for a modular sanitary unit:

Easy Delivery And Take Away

Getting a modular building to and from your site is hassle-free, as we’ll arrange for a forklift to do all the heavy lifting.

You’ll just need to make sure there’s a flat, level and solid surface on which the unit can be placed, and that there’s plenty of room for our delivery vehicle to get into and out of your location. And if your requirements change and you need to relocate your unit, we can help with that too.

Made To Last

Even if you only need sanitary facilities temporarily, it’s good to know that our modular buildings are made from durable, high-quality materials. The walls and roof are formed from galvanised steel sheets as well as heat and sound insulated with PU foam.

The floor is built using tough cement chipboard, so every unit is ready to welcome lots of visitors both in a short space of time and over the long term. Units are also made to withstand the worst of the weather including high winds and heavy rain. For that extra peace of mind, all units comply with rigorous fire and safety standards too, so you can be sure you’re getting the very best.

Choose Your Configuration

You can choose the type of sanitary unit you need, from a single flushing toilet to a room full of separate shower cubicles and wash basins, as well as everything in between.

All WCs can be configured as male, female, unisex, or disabled, with the most commonly requested options coming in the following sizes:

  • Single WC – 1200mm x 1400mm (5’ x 4’)
  • Double WC – 2400mm x 1400mm (8’ x 5’)
  • Combined Toilet and Shower Unit – 2400mm x 1400mm (8’ x 5’)
  • Combined Ladies, Gents & Disabled WC Unit – available in 16’, 20’, 24’ and 30’ sizes.

Range Of Interior Features

If you’re commissioning the building of a modular sanitary unit from scratch, you can choose from a range of comfort-enhancing amenities. These include:

  • Easy clean wallboards – simply wipe down
  • Lighting options
  • Extractor fans
  • Convection heaters
  • Water heaters
  • Wash basins with hot running water
  • Unisex facilities, or separate private male and female sections, if required
  • Urinals

Sustainability Focused

You’ll want your event or construction project to have the strongest eco-friendly credentials and modular building sanitary units can help you hit your green targets. Each one can be equipped with water-saving cisterns on the WCs and taps on the wash basins, reducing the precious resources that each unit consumes.

Quick Connection

The units will need to be connected to a main sewer (or septic tank) and freshwater supply. We recommend using a qualified plumber for this to make sure everything goes smoothly.

When it comes to setting up an electricity supply for your building, our standard sanitary modular units can be plugged into any power source without the need to call out a qualified electrician. You will, however, need the services of a professional to connect a bespoke or non-standard sanitary unit to the mains or portable power supply.

Value For Money

With every modular sanitary unit from Upminster Containers, we aim to be as cost-effective as possible, especially when compared to other options such as new builds. That’s because the construction of our units requires fewer people and resources, meaning that manufacturing costs are lower.

Hygiene Without Chemicals

With a modular building sanitary unit, you can say no to the use of harmful chemicals. Ours use a freshwater system to maintain the highest standards of hygiene, so there’s no danger of damaging the environment with dangerous chemicals.

The Ultimate In Comfort

Heating and ventilation systems can be incorporated into the design of your sanitary unit to provide users with an even more comfortable experience. Among the key features you can add is a water heating system that will deliver hot water to showers and wash basin hot taps.
