Drying room hire from 777 Hire gives a crew a heated, ventilated cabin to dry wet PPE, workwear and boots overnight, sized from 12ft up to 32ft for bigger or wetter sites. Each unit pairs a heat source with ventilation so warm air circulates and damp air is drawn out, and most come fitted with hanging rails, boot racks and lockable lockers, though the exact fit-out is model dependent. 777 Hire supplies these to businesses across the UK, delivered and sited.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a site drying room?
It’s a heated, ventilated cabin where workers hang up wet PPE, workwear and boots to dry between shifts. Controlled warm-air circulation dries kit overnight so the crew starts the next day in dry gear. Tell us your numbers and we’ll size the unit.
What’s inside a drying room unit?
The exact fit-out is model dependent, so contact us and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries. Most have hanging rails for jackets and trousers, boot racks or drip trays, bench seating for changing, and lockable lockers for personal kit, with heating and ventilation built in to move moisture out. Let us know your crew size and we’ll match the layout.
How does a drying room dry workwear properly?
It pairs a heat source with proper ventilation, so warm air circulates and damp air is drawn out rather than left to condense. That’s what dries clothing overnight, whereas an unventilated heated box just traps moisture. Our units are built for the job, and we’ll help you size one that copes with your PPE volume.
How big a drying room do I need?
Size it on the number of workers, their shift pattern and how much wet kit comes off each day. Undersizing is the most common mistake. Smaller crews manage with a 12ft unit, while bigger or wetter sites need 16ft up to 32ft. Share your details and we’ll recommend a size.
Is a drying room the same as a changing or drying area in a welfare unit?
A standalone drying room is a dedicated unit for drying and changing only, which suits medium to large sites with a lot of wet kit. Smaller sites are often fine with the drying and changing area built into a combined welfare unit. We’ll advise which makes sense for your job.
Does a drying room need power or a mains connection?
Yes. The heating and ventilation run off a mains or generator power supply, but there’s no plumbing needed as it’s a dry unit. If your site has no power, we can look at a generator or a self-contained welfare unit with a drying area. Tell us what’s on site.
Are drying rooms a CDM requirement?
CDM 2015 requires facilities to change and dry clothing where workers wear special clothing or get wet on site. A drying room is the practical way to meet that, especially for outdoor and winter work. Share your site details and we’ll make sure you’re covered.
Can a drying room be combined with other units?
Yes. Steel drying rooms are anti-vandal and stackable, so they sit alongside canteens, offices and storage of the same size to make best use of space. Tell us the full welfare setup and we’ll quote it together.
How quickly can you deliver a drying room?
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.
