When managing a construction project or event, providing adequate welfare facilities isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a legal requirement. Whether you are overseeing a long-term build or a short-term event, welfare unit hire ensures your site stays compliant, safe, and comfortable for everyone involved. 

What Are Welfare Units?

Welfare units are self-contained, mobile facilities designed to support staff and contractors on-site. They typically include:

• Toilets and washbasins
• Canteen and kitchen areas
• Drying rooms
• Seating, heating, and lighting
• Powered by a self-contained generator

Available in both towable and static options, these units provide essential site accommodation, especially in remote areas where utilities are not available.

Standard and Eco units are available.

Compliance Without the Hassle

Under UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) regulations, every construction site must offer minimum welfare facilities. By hiring a welfare unit, you:

• Instantly meet health and safety compliance standards
• Provide dignified, hygienic conditions for your workforce
• Avoid potential fines and project delays

 Built for Convenience and Comfort

Modern welfare units are designed with both practicality and sustainability in mind. With eco-efficient features like solar panels or hybrid power options, you reduce your environmental impact while maintaining comfort on-site. Units are delivered ready to use and include everything from running water to hot drinks facilities.

Flexibility and Adaptability

Storage containers are blank canvasses that can be tailored to each client’s specific requirements.

For commercial clients, this can mean hiring them to accommodate fluctuating inventory levels and seasonal stock surges or to serve as temporary workspace during renovations, expansions, or busy periods.

Similarly, homeowners can utilise storage containers for various purposes, from storing garden equipment and seasonal decorations to storing excess furniture and possessions during home renovations or between a house move.

Customisation Options

 At PPH Hire and Sales, we understand that one size does not fit all. That’s why we offer a range of options to meet the needs of our clients.

Our range of steel storage containers comes in various sizes, so no matter how large or small you need, we’ll have something to suit you.

• 10’ x 8’
• 12’ x 8’
• 16’ x 8’
• 20’ x 8’
• 21’ x 8’
• 24’ x 8’
• 32’ x 10’

Our units can be customised with optional extras, such as being lined and insulated or having integrated shelving, lights, electrical sockets, heating, or a combination of these elements. This means users can make them perfectly suit their needs.

Additionally, storage containers can be painted in your company colours or include branding on request.

Cost-Effectiveness

Investing in additional warehouse space or constructing new storage facilities can be relatively expensive for businesses. Storage containers offer a cost-effective alternative that doesn’t compromise quality or security.

By hiring or purchasing a storage container, companies can allocate resources more effectively and use funds for core operations or growth initiatives.

Security and Durability

Security is paramount when storing items, and our storage containers are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They are equipped with robust locking mechanisms, providing peace of mind against theft or vandalism. All units are supplied with a five-lever mortice deadlock and keys.

Additionally, our containers are constructed from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity even in the most demanding environments.

Mobility and Accessibility

One of the standout advantages of storage containers is their mobility. For businesses that frequently relocate or require on-site storage solutions, containers offer unparalleled convenience. We ensure prompt delivery and setup, with same-day delivery subject to availability, allowing businesses to integrate containers seamlessly into their operations without disruption.

PPH Hire & Sales was formed over 45 years ago and prior to March 2023 was known as Parker Plant Hire, a well-established hire company that has built up an enviable reputation over those years.

Charlie Perry, Chairman of the PPH Group of Companies explained “We felt the time was right to rebrand Parker Plant Hire due to a number of reasons…the first is that no one from the Parker family is involved with the business anymore, and secondly, the company no longer hires large construction plant following our sale of all such equipment last September to allow us to concentrate on providing first class portable accommodation, welfare facilities, tool hire and toilet facilities to all of our customers.

The initials PPH were chosen because we felt it was important to continue with the association to Parker Plant Hire, a company synonymous with great customer service and best quality products.

The new trading entity – PPH Hire & Sales continues with the same dedicated team of staff led by Managing Director Barry Williams.

PPH, trading from its premises in Llanelli and Reading, will continue to invest in new equipment to keep up with the modern day demands of customers. The rebranding brings the company in line with this modern-day world, and puts us in a prominent position within the portable accommodation sector throughout Wales, the Midlands, and the South of England. PPH Hire & Sales – Same dedicated staff, same personal service, now though…with new vision!”

One of the recent changes to the operations is that PPH Hire & Sales offer local delivery for the tool hire side of the business. The Hire Centre staff at Llanelli have over 30 years’ experience and can advise with any equipment needs for building or DIY projects.

Rebrand launch day – 1st March 2023

The launch day of the new name was held on St David’s Day and was a great success.

Customers at the Llanelli depot in Halfway were treated to homemade Welsh cakes amongst the complimentary refreshments. A celebration cake was cut and bright daffodils lit up the busy Hire Centre. Wanting to retain the Company’s reputation for being at the heart of the community there was also a fundraiser for a local foodbank.

Managing Director Barry Williams and Group Chairman Charlie Perry promised to match fund the amount raised on the day, raising the total to £151.66.

Directors and individual Staff had also been donating non-perishable foods in the build-up and were able to present the Foodbank with several full boxes.

Paul Kennedy, Support Manager for Ammanford Foodbank said “Ammanford Foodbank are delighted to partner with PPH Hire & Sales for the occasion of their rebrand. Their support means that we are able to focus on helping those in need within our community facing financial crisis, especially as more and more people are falling below the breadline in the current economic environment. It’s great to see a local business so interested in supporting those in poverty within their community – this is exactly what the food & funds raised will go to helping.”
