What Are Portable Office Cabins?

Portable office cabins are prefabricated structures designed for easy transport, rapid installation, and immediate use.

These units can be single or multi-room, and are available in various sizes and specifications, with options such as lighting, power sockets, heating, insulation, and furniture.

They are delivered by lorry and either craned or wheeled into position, with minimal groundwork or planning required.

Units may be standalone or linked to form larger complexes.

As they are built off-site and installed quickly, portable cabins reduce lead times, site disruption, and setup costs compared to permanent buildings.

When Are Portable Office Cabins Required?

Portable office cabins are required when a temporary or flexible workspace is needed at short notice or for the duration of a project.

They are commonly used on construction sites as site offices, canteens, meeting rooms, and welfare units.

Cabins are also popular in education, especially for temporary classrooms or administration spaces during refurbishment.

Since they can be relocated or expanded easily, they’re also suitable for events, logistics hubs, and emergency response facilities.

As project scopes and site layouts can change, portable office cabins offer adaptability without long-term commitments.

What Are the Benefits of Portable Office Cabins?

Portable office cabins provide fast, efficient workspace solutions without the constraints of permanent builds:

• Quick delivery and installation, usually within days
  
• No planning permission required in many cases
  
• Range of internal layouts and equipment to suit your team’s needs
  
• Flexible rental periods for short or long-term use
  
• Units can be moved, extended, or reconfigured as your project evolves
  
• Cost-effective compared to traditional buildings or conversions
  

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Portable Office Cabin?

The cost of hiring a portable office cabin is from £25 to £150 per week.

The cost of portable office cabins depends on the size, specification, and hire duration.

Basic single units fall at the lower end, while larger, multi-room, or fully furnished cabins are priced higher.

Delivery and installation fees vary depending on location and access.

Since pricing is influenced by cabin type and extras, we provide fixed quotes tailored to your site and usage requirements.

How Quickly Can a Cabin Be Delivered?

Most portable office cabins can be delivered and installed within 2 to 5 working days, subject to availability and site access.

Faster turnaround may be possible for in-stock units, particularly for urgent construction or emergency response needs.

As demand peaks during seasonal and industry-specific periods, early booking is advised for time-sensitive projects.

What Is Included with Portable Office Cabin Hire?

Portable office cabin hire includes the delivery, installation, and removal of a prefabricated unit, with options for internal fittings, external access features, and ongoing support.

Units are provided in a range of sizes and layouts, and can include desks, chairs, plug sockets, lighting, heating, and insulation to create a functional office environment.

External features such as steps, ramps, skirting, or cabin linking systems can be added based on your site layout.

Support includes servicing, maintenance, and the option to relocate or extend units as your needs change.

As each site varies in space, access, and usage, all cabin hires are configured to suit your specific project requirements.

Do I Need Planning Permission for a Portable Office Cabin?

In most cases, planning permission is not required if the cabin is used for less than 28 days or is part of a temporary project like a construction site.

Since local authority rules can vary, we recommend checking with your planning office for longer-term use or non-construction applications.

Can Portable Cabins Be Connected Together?

Portable office cabins can be linked side-by-side or stacked vertically to create larger office complexes.

We provide connecting systems, internal access doors, and modular layouts that suit multi-room or multi-department operations

As your team or project grows, your cabin setup can be expanded with minimal disruption.

Are Portable Office Cabins Insulated and Heated?

All office cabins are fully insulated and come with electric or panel heating as standard.

This ensures a comfortable working environment all year round, especially for long-term use on exposed or outdoor sites.

Additional options like air conditioning or double glazing are also available on request.

What Sizes of Portable Office Cabins Are Available?

We offer portable office cabins in a range of standard sizes, including 10ft, 20ft, 24ft, and 32ft units.

Larger cabins can be configured as open-plan offices, meeting rooms, or multi-room spaces.

As every site has different space constraints and capacity needs, we help you choose the best size and layout for your operation.

Can Portable Office Cabins Be Used Long-Term?

Our cabins are designed for both short-term and long-term hire, with robust construction, insulation, and optional upgrades for year-round use.

As many clients need temporary space for extended projects, our long-term hire packages are cost-effective and include regular maintenance support.

Are Cabins Secure for Overnight Use or Storage?

All portable office cabins are equipped with high-security doors and window shutters to protect contents and occupants.

Optional upgrades include steel anti-vandal units or keypad locks for added site security.

Since office equipment, tools, or confidential documents are often stored on-site, we ensure your cabin remains safe around the clock.

Do Portable Cabins Come with Electrical Connections?

Cabins are supplied with internal wiring, lighting, sockets, and heating ready to be connected to your site’s power supply.

We can also provide generator hire or help connect the unit to an existing power source.

As functional workspace requires proper infrastructure, all electrical fittings are installed to current safety standards.

Can I Customise the Internal Layout?

Internal layouts can be customised with partition walls, extra desks, meeting spaces, or welfare facilities.

We’ll work with you to design a layout that fits your workflow, team size, and access requirements.

Since every project operates differently, tailored interiors help maximise productivity and comfort.

Is There a Minimum or Maximum Hire Period?

Our portable office cabins are available for daily, weekly, monthly, or long-term hire.

There is no strict minimum, though some transport and setup fees apply for very short hires.

For large-scale or ongoing use, long-term contracts offer better value and flexible upgrade options.

How Are Portable Office Cabins Delivered?

Cabins are delivered by lorry-mounted crane (HIAB) or trailer and lifted into position by trained operatives.

As long as site access is clear and level, installation is quick and usually completed within a few hours.

We conduct pre-delivery checks to ensure your location is ready for installation.

Can I Hire Furniture with the Cabin?

We offer fully furnished options with desks, chairs, filing cabinets, noticeboards, and power sockets.

Because  part of your quote, we’ll recommend furniture setups based on team size, purpose, and layout preferences.

Can Cabins Be Moved During the Hire Period?

Portable office cabins can be relocated or reconfigured as your site needs change.

We handle the transport, repositioning, and reconnection of services so your team stays operational with minimal downtime.

As many projects evolve over time, relocatable office space offers a more practical long-term solution.

Can Portable Office Cabins Be Used as Temporary Classrooms or Training Rooms?

Our cabins are frequently hired as temporary classrooms, training suites, or administrative spaces in schools, colleges, and training centres.

As education providers often need space during refurbishments or expansion, portable cabins offer fast and flexible solutions with layouts tailored for learning environments.

Are Portable Office Cabins Suitable for Remote or Rural Sites?

Portable office cabins are ideal for remote, off-grid, or rural locations where traditional buildings are impractical.

Since cabins are delivered fully assembled and require minimal foundations, they can be installed in hard-to-reach areas with limited infrastructure.

We can also provide generator power or off-grid solutions if utilities are not available on site.

Can Cabins Be Equipped with Toilets or Welfare Facilities?

We offer combined office and welfare cabins that include toilets, sinks, showers, or canteen areas.

These are particularly useful for construction sites, events, and long-term setups where separate welfare provision is required.

Since regulations often require welfare facilities on active sites, these cabins ensure compliance without additional installations.

Do You Provide Maintenance During the Hire Period?

We include full maintenance and support as part of all hire agreements.

If any issue arises—such as electrical faults, heating failure, or structural damage—our service team responds promptly.

As reliability is key for site operations, we keep downtime to a minimum throughout your hire.

Can I Add Branding or Signage to the Cabin?

Cabins can be fitted with custom signage, decals, or branded panels to promote your company on-site.

Whether it’s temporary site branding or a longer-term marketing presence, we can arrange installation before or after delivery.

Since many projects are public-facing, adding branding helps reinforce your professional image.

How Is the Cabin Removed After the Hire Period?

At the end of the hire, we arrange collection and removal at a time that suits your schedule.

Our team handles the disconnection, loading, and transport of the cabin, ensuring the site is left clear and safe.

As removals are fast and non-invasive, you can transition smoothly to the next phase of your project.
