Commercial Projects: Timber Toilet Blocks & Staff Facilities (Better Than Portacabins)

For many UK businesses — from campsites and fisheries to wedding venues and farms — providing decent toilet and washing facilities is a headache.

You often have two bad choices: expensive brick buildings (which take months to build) or ugly plastic portable toilets (which guests hate).

The project pictured above shows the third option: a professional Timber Toilet & Shower Block.

The Layout: Private & Practical

This unit features a smart multi-door design. Instead of one large communal room, it offers three separate, self-contained cubicles.

• Versatility: You can designate one door for "Ladies," one for "Gents," and one for a "Staff Room" or "Store."
• Hygiene: Individual cubicles are easier to clean and provide more privacy, which is exactly what modern campsite guests expect.

The Veranda: Essential Weather Protection

Notice the generous roof overhang and the timber railing on the left. This creates a covered walkway (veranda) along the front of the building.

• Waiting Area: If the toilets are busy, guests can wait under the roof, sheltered from the rain.
• Mud Control: The decking area acts as a buffer zone, reducing the amount of mud tracked inside the cubicles.

Why Choose Timber for Commercial Sites?

1. Aesthetics: A wooden building blends beautifully into a rural landscape. It looks permanent and inviting, unlike a stark white plastic container.
2. Speed: We can install a block like this in just 1-2 days. You can be up and running for the peak season without turning your site into a building site for weeks.
3. Cost: It is significantly cheaper than a brick-and-mortar block, but offers the same "solid" feel.

Business Tip: Upgrading from portable toilets to a timber block allows you to charge higher pitch fees. Glampers and campers are willing to pay a premium for "proper" facilities with hot water and solid doors.

Summary

Whether you need staff toilets, changing rooms for a sports club, or a shower block for a campsite, timber cabins offer the best balance of quality, speed, and cost.
