Canteen Unit Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in a site canteen unit?
Most canteen units are set up as a mess and rest room, typically with bench seating and a kitchenette, a sink, water heater, microwave and worktop. The exact fit-out is model dependent, so get in touch and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries and add any furniture or appliances you need.
How many people does a canteen unit seat?
It depends on the cabin size and layout. We hire 10ft up to 32ft canteens, so the larger cabins seat more, but seating varies by model. Tell us your crew size and peak break times and we’ll confirm the right one.
What appliances come in a canteen cabin?
It varies by model, but appliances such as a water heater, microwave and fridge are commonly fitted or can be added. Contact us and we’ll confirm exactly what a given unit carries.
What’s the difference between a canteen unit and a full welfare unit?
A canteen unit is a dedicated mess and rest room only. A welfare unit combines that canteen with a toilet, drying area and often an office in one cabin. If you already have toilets and drying on site, a standalone canteen is typically the more cost-effective choice.
Do canteen units need a mains connection?
Static steel canteens typically run off a mains or generator power supply and a water feed for the heater and sink. If your site has no services, ask us about towable welfare units that carry their own water and power instead. Tell us what’s available on site.
Are site canteens a legal requirement?
Yes. CDM 2015 requires a heated rest area with seating where workers can prepare and eat food away from the work area. A canteen unit covers that duty in one delivery. Share your headcount and we’ll make sure the unit is sized to suit.
Can a canteen unit be stacked or combined with other cabins?
Most steel canteens are anti-vandal and stackable, so they pair neatly with offices, drying rooms and storage containers of the same size to save ground space. Tell us the full setup you’re after and we’ll quote it together.
Can you supply a towable canteen for short jobs?
For shorter or no-services jobs a towable welfare unit gives you a built-in canteen alongside a toilet and drying area, ready to use in minutes. For longer programmes a static steel canteen is typically the better fit, and we’ll recommend based on your timescale.
How quickly can you deliver a canteen unit?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
