FAQs

COVID – 19

Due to the Government’s latest guidance regarding Covid-19 of continuing restrictions, we would like to reassure our customers planning to go ahead with their events, that we will be putting in place the necessary safety measures. All of our facilities will be fully sterilised after each event and prior to the following one; we will also be supplying hand sanitiser as well as soap in order to minimise the risk of spreading through touch points.

What makes your event loos different from other similar luxury loos for hire?

In addition to looking more in-keeping with your event, our loos use an environmentally friendly fresh water flush system just like your own bathroom at home. So rather than the chemical recirculating system commonly used in portable loos, which has a very strong odour, our loos are more hygienic and have no chemical smell.

What size hut will we need for our event?

We offer two sizes of luxury event loos, if you are having an event with up to 120 guests we can supply our Sussex loo hut, or for an event with up to 200 guests you would need our Hampshire hut. For larger events we can supply multiple units or the unit can be emptied partway through an event, which is an additional service.

How do we know if we can get one of your huts into our venue?

We will visit your chosen venue to ensure we have the necessary access and that the right location can be agreed once our booking has been confirmed.

When and where can the hut be placed at the venue?

The hut should ideally be placed in advance of your event. The huts require an area of about 6 metres by 3 metres on level and firm ground with a water and 13amp (or if using a generator a 16amp IP44) electricity supply within a reasonable distance.

Do the shower huts need power?

Yes our showers huts require power, (Either for a 13amp outlet or from 16amp IP44 outlet or generator.

Do the shower huts have their own water supply?

Whilst our shower huts have a small header tank, they need a water supply for either an outside/garden tap or a water bowser which Southdown shepherds huts can hire you if required.

What happens to the waste water form the Shower huts?

The waste wate from the shower huts is piped away in to a ditch, hedgerow or an area close by which can be used as a soakaway.

What if we don’t have water and or an electricity supply close by?

We can supply a water bowser and pump unit at an additional charge. The huts electricity supply can be run off a generator if you are using one for other services or if one is not available we can recommend a generator supplier.

How are the huts delivered?

Your hut will be delivered to site by a 4X4 at an agreed time and date before your event. The hut will be placed in the agreed location and connected to water and electricity by our delivery team, so it is ready to use for your event.

What else comes with the hut?

When the hut is set up by the delivery team it will have quality hand wash, hand lotions, cotton hand towels, together with feminine essentials basket containing a selection of items.

Do you supply towels and or toiletries?

We do not supply towels or toiletries, this is up to the hirer or their guest to supply towels.

Do you offer a valet service?

We can provide a valet service if requested in advance at an additional charge, plus travel. The valet will keep the loos fresh and restocked if necessary. We would recommend this for larger events.

What if there is a problem during our event?

In the unlikely event of a problem we will be available on call during your event to rectify any problems.
