Welfare unit hire from 777 Hire puts the facilities a site needs into one self-contained cabin, with most units combining a seated canteen, flushing toilet, heated drying area and often a small office. Towable units typically suit smaller crews, while static cabins cover larger teams, though capacity varies by model. The range also includes standalone accommodation such as offices, canteens, toilets and stores. 777 Hire supplies these to businesses across the UK, delivered and sited.

Site Welfare Unit Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a welfare unit?
It’s a self-contained cabin that combines the welfare facilities a site needs in one unit, typically a canteen or rest area, toilet, drying or changing space and often a small office. It means you can meet CDM 2015 welfare duties from a single delivery rather than several separate units.
How many people does a welfare unit hold?
It varies by model. Mobile and towable units typically suit smaller crews, while larger static welfare cabins cover bigger teams. Capacity is about realistic peak occupancy at break times, not just headcount, so tell us your numbers and shift pattern and we’ll confirm the right unit and size it properly.
What’s inside a self-contained welfare unit?
The exact fit-out is model dependent, so contact us and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries. Most are set up with a seated canteen, commonly with a kettle, microwave, water heater and hand-wash, a flushing toilet, a heated drying area for wet workwear, and frequently a desk or office corner. Larger units typically add separate male and female toilets. Let us know your priorities and we’ll match a layout.
What’s the difference between a mobile, towable and static welfare unit?
Towable and mobile units tow in on their own chassis and are ready to use in around three minutes, so they’re ideal for short jobs and sites that relocate. Static welfare cabins are delivered and craned into position for longer programmes and bigger teams. Tell us the job and we’ll advise.
Do welfare units need a mains water or power connection?
No. Self-contained units carry onboard fresh and waste water tanks and generate their own power, so they run on sites with no services at all. If mains are available they can connect to those instead. Just tell us what’s on site.
Do you hire solar or eco welfare units?
Yes. Eco welfare units run primarily on solar and battery with an HVO-fuelled backup generator, which cuts diesel use, refuelling visits, noise and emissions. They suit carbon-conscious sites and remote locations, so ask about the eco range when you enquire.
How quickly can a towable welfare unit be set up on site?
A towable unit can be towed into place by a standard vehicle and made ready for use in roughly three minutes by one person. Drop the legs, switch it on and the facilities are live. We handle delivery and siting through our network, so just give us the postcode and date.
Are welfare units CDM 2015 compliant?
Our units are built to meet CDM 2015 welfare standards, typically covering toilets, hot and cold washing, drinking water, a heated rest area for meals and a drying area, though the exact provision varies by model. Specifying the right size for your headcount is what keeps you compliant, so get in touch and our hire team will confirm the spec and help you get that right.
How quickly can you deliver a welfare 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.
