Received our new 20ft container in RAL6007 this morning and it looks fantastic and Storage on Site driver Harry Wood made an excellent job with positioning the container in our clients preferred position. Great work Harry and our client was extremely happy, well done.

S.O.S containers are our incumbent suppliers here at the Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa.  Nothing is too much trouble! Dwayne their delivery driver is a legend! Incredibly skilled lifter, managed to tuck a container under a gable and get it much closer than I thought possible to the wall, not a scratch on anything. Handy reversing with a trailer too.
Would I recommend Storage on Site, definitely.
Would I play Jenga against Dwayne.... No!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from start to finish.

The containers we had delivered were absolutely immaculate — perfectly clean, in excellent condition and exactly what we needed. I was particularly impressed with how well presented they were on arrival.

Kim and her team have been fantastic throughout the whole process. Communication was excellent, everything was well organised, and the delivery went very smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble, and the level of customer service has been first class.

It has been a pleasure dealing with such a professional, friendly and helpful company. I would have no hesitation in using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for containers and a reliable, high-quality service.

Thank you again to Kim and the whole team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this delivery service enough, specifically our driver, Mouse. We required a container delivery in an exceptionally challenging area with tight spatial constraints, low clearance, and overhead cables. Despite the difficult conditions and no guarantee of success, Mouse took on the job with a brilliant attitude. He maneuvered the container into place flawlessly. We joked that his precision was like a high-level game of Tetris. Truly exceptional driving skills and fantastic customer service

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Charity Alfie's Arc was in desperate need for extra space and our SOS was answered by SOS.
Not only is it excellent value for money, quality units but all the staff are a pleasure to deal with.
Because of this company we can hold our Christmas Grotto and have extra storage for our community groups.
They have literally made it possible for us to provide community assistance and Joy to hundreds of families.
Thank you so much for our amazing containers and excellent customer service and after care.
I can only give 10/10 obviously they deserve a lot more..

Frequently asked questions
Welfare Unit Hire & On-Site Facilities

What is a welfare unit?

A welfare unit is a portable or static site cabin designed to provide essential welfare facilities for workers. Most include a toilet, canteen seating, drying area, water heater and lighting. They help you stay compliant with HSE welfare requirements on construction sites.

What kind of site requires a welfare unit?

Our welfare units are ideal for sites without water and electricity. Each unit is powered by a diesel generator, giving even brand new sites access to rest facilities and hot water.

Is the water provided in the welfare unit drinkable?

No – the water supplied in our welfare units is non-potable, meaning it’s not suitable for drinking. It’s perfectly fine for handwashing, cleaning and general use. If you require drinking water on site, we recommend providing bottled water or a separate potable water supply.

What’s included with a standard welfare unit?

Our standard welfare cabin hire includes a flushing toilet, hand wash basin, canteen area with table and benches, heater, drying room, water boiler and LED lighting. Larger layouts (20ft and 22.9ft units) also include space for a small office.

Can I hire a static welfare unit for a long-term site?

Absolutely. We offer a range of static container welfare units from 12ft to 22.9ft – ideal for construction sites, civil engineering projects, and site compounds where space, comfort and compliance are essential.

How long can I hire a welfare unit for?

Whether you have a long term or a short term project on site, our welfare facility hire is flexible with a minimum 4-week hire period.

How much does welfare unit hire cost?

Welfare unit hire costs per week vary based on size, spec, location and duration. For an accurate quote, just get in touch. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden charges.

Who is responsible for the cost of the diesel?

Just like when you hire a car, when you hire a welfare unit, you are responsible for the cost of fuel for the generator. You are expected to return the unit with the same amount of fuel as when you received it, or you will face a charge.

Are your welfare cabins HSE compliant?

Yes. All our welfare units meet or exceed HSE site welfare regulations, including requirements for toilets, seating, heating, hand-washing and space to store and dry PPE.

Do welfare cabins need a power supply?

Yes – most static welfare units require a 230V mains supply or site generator. All of our towable welfare units have a built-in generator, making it a completely self-contained site welfare solution. We also offer eco welfare units with solar panels and backup generators.

How secure are your welfare units?

Our welfare units are built with security in mind and are ideal for unattended or remote sites. Each unit features a patented high-strength composite panel system with bonded construction and a tough galvanised steel exterior for maximum protection against damage and break-ins.

Security features include:

3x high-security composite personnel doors, each with 2 deadlocks.
Double doors to the generator compartment, also fitted with 2 deadlocks.
An internally locking aluminium security door with thumb turn deadlock for safe and easy access control.

These features make our welfare cabins extremely robust and tamper-resistant, giving you peace of mind whether your unit is in daily use or left secured overnight.
