Disabled & Accessible Toilet Hire UK

Wheelchair-accessible portable toilet trailers from 90 vetted UK luxury suppliers, across 12 regions — for weddings, festivals and events.

Hiring an accessible portable toilet for an outdoor event isn't just a courtesy — it's a practical necessity that lets every guest enjoy the day without compromise. This guide explains what counts as "accessible", how it differs from a Changing Places facility, and which UK luxury suppliers can deliver one for your event.

What is an accessible portable toilet?

In the UK, "accessible" portable toilets sit on a spectrum. There are three categories worth understanding before you hire:

  1. 1. Standard portable toilet

    The classic single-cubicle unit you see on construction sites and at smaller events. Compact, no special features — not suitable for wheelchair users or guests with mobility needs.

  2. 2. Accessible (disabled-friendly) portable toilet

    A larger unit specifically designed for wheelchair access. It has a turning circle, ramp or level access, grab rails, lower-mounted fittings and wider doors. Most luxury UK suppliers offer one as a standalone unit or as part of a trailer configuration. This is what most people mean when they ask for a "disabled toilet hire".

  3. 3. Changing Places

    A separate, higher-spec category designed for people with profound and multiple disabilities. Includes an adult-size changing bench, ceiling hoist, and peninsula toilet. Common as fixed installations in public buildings; rare in portable form. Best to ask suppliers directly if your event needs one.

What makes a unit accessible

When comparing suppliers, these are the specs to ask about. A unit with all of the below comfortably accommodates manual and most powered wheelchairs.

  • 1.5m internal turning circle

    Allows a wheelchair user to turn 360° comfortably inside the cubicle.

  • Wide entrance (≥800mm)

    Clear opening for wheelchair access, including powered chairs.

  • Ramp or level access

    Step-free entry from ground level — usually a built-in fold-down ramp.

  • Grab rails

    Vertical and horizontal rails beside the WC and basin to assist transfers.

  • Lower-mounted fittings

    Basin, mirror, soap dispenser and hand dryer set at accessible heights.

  • Non-slip flooring

    Textured surface that stays grippy when wet — important when entering from outdoor ground.

  • Emergency alarm cord

    Pull-cord alarm reaching the floor, signalling to event staff if assistance is needed.

  • Generous internal width (≥1500mm)

    Enough space for an assistant alongside a wheelchair user where required.

52.Surrey Toilet Hire - Guildford

Exceptional 4.9
1+1 Trailer2+1 Trailer2+2 Trailer3+1 TrailerEvent PortableAccessible Unit
3 enquiries this monthServes Guildford

Surrey Toilet Hire offers a selection of newer luxury toilet trailers, with most of the fleet under three years old. The trailers come in green and white finishes and are aimed at weddings, birthday parties, corporate functions, VIP and sporting events. Three sizes are available, suitable for up to 100, 150 or 200 guests over a 6–8 hour event. The green trailers feature male and female access doors on both sides, giving more flexibility for guest flow in tighter or awkwardly shaped venues. All units arrive fully stocked with consumables: toilet tissues, hand towels, liquid hand soap, hand moisturiser, waste bins, toilet brushes and sanitary bins in the ladies' cubicles. Trailers are typically towed to site at least a day before the event by 4x4. Access requirements are worth noting: the towing rig is 10ft high, 7ft wide and up to 40ft long, so awkward bends, low branches, narrow gates and boggy ground need to be avoided. Site visits are offered where access is uncertain. Power needs are minimal: a standard 240v/13-amp plug or generator within 50–60 feet of the trailer. For 18th and 21st birthday events, a £500 refundable damage deposit applies, returned in full if no damage occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions

An accessible portable toilet is wheelchair-friendly — it has a turning circle, grab rails, ramp access, and lower-mounted fittings. A Changing Places facility goes further: it includes an adult-size changing bench, ceiling hoist, and peninsula toilet, and is designed for people with profound and multiple disabilities. Most UK luxury suppliers offer accessible portables; Changing Places units in portable form are rare.

If you have any guests with mobility needs, the answer is almost always yes — and even if you're unsure, hiring one is good practice. The Equality Act 2010 requires venues to make reasonable adjustments, and an accessible facility avoids putting guests in an awkward position on the day. Most suppliers can include one alongside your standard trailer for a modest additional cost.

For private events under 200 guests, one accessible unit is typically sufficient. For larger public events, UK event-safety guidance recommends at least one accessible toilet per 100 ambulant disabled attendees, and additional units scaled to total attendance. For festivals and outdoor events, also factor in distance — accessible toilets should be reachable without lengthy queues or uneven terrain.

A properly specified accessible unit will accommodate manual and most powered wheelchairs. Look for an internal turning circle of at least 1.5 metres, a doorway of at least 800mm, level or ramp access, and floor-to-ceiling grab rails. Suppliers should be willing to share floor-plan dimensions on request.

Both options exist. Many suppliers offer a standalone accessible unit on its own — useful when you already have washroom provision and just need to add accessibility. Others include an accessible cubicle as part of a luxury trailer configuration (e.g. 2+1 with one accessible). Tell suppliers the scenario when requesting a quote.

For peak season (May–September) book 3–6 months ahead, especially for weddings. Accessible inventory is more limited than standard, so book earlier than you would for a regular trailer. For winter or off-season events, 4–8 weeks is usually enough.

Most luxury accessible trailers are self-contained — they include onboard fresh water, waste tanks, and battery or generator power. Some require a 240V hookup or a hot/cold water supply for premium amenities (heated interior, hot water basins). The supplier will confirm utility requirements when quoting.

There isn't a single law that mandates accessible portable toilets at every event, but the Equality Act 2010 places a duty on event organisers to make reasonable adjustments for disabled attendees. For licensed events, local authorities and the HSE expect accessible provision proportionate to attendance — especially for festivals and large public gatherings. BS 8300:2018 sets the design standard for accessible facilities.
