FAQs

Do we need planning permission?

Cabins sited for more than 28 days may require planning permission. However, they are a portable structure and we advise that you speak to your local planning office before placing an order. It is the hirer’s responsibility to organise any required planning permission.

Can units double stack?

Our units are physically capable of being double stacked. However, building regulations require a six-metre gap between double-stacked units and adjacent buildings. This means there is no real space saved by double stacking. Many other issues restrict double stacking, but this is the main one.

Is insurance included in the hire rate?

Insurance is not included in the hire rate. As part of our standard terms and conditions, it is the hirer’s responsibility to arrange insurance at 200 times the weekly hire rate.

Will I get charged for cleaning?

Our guiding principle is to ‘treat customers how we would want to be treated’. The hire industry is quickly gaining a reputation for dishing out end-of-hire cleaning/damage charges. Often, these charges are routinely generated to make up for unsuitably low-hire rates. We are different. We don’t expect the unit to come back spotless and understand there will be some wear and tear. We will charge for damage but we’re sure you’ll agree that is only fair.

What is the largest sleeper you make and hire?

The largest single unit we manufacture and hire is a one-man Bespoke Sleeper, which is 2.870m x 4.325m. This is slightly bigger than the one-man Deluxe Sleeper by millimetres. Both units include an en-suite bathroom (shower, toilet and sink), full-size single bed, microwave, fridge, desk and a chest of drawers - but still feel extremely spacious.

The largest twin unit is the Bespoke Twin Sleeper, which is the same size as the Bespoke Sleeper, but rather than a desk and chest of drawers, there is another full-size single bed.

What power supply do I need?

All of our units, with the exception of the Junior Diner, come with a 240v 32 amp Ceeform 2P+E plug.

Will they run off a generator?

Yes, all of our units can run off a generator.

Can the delivery vehicle run on grass?

Under no circumstances should a wagon drive over grass, Murphy’s Law states that if the ground is hard during delivery it will be a muddy bog when the unit needs to be collected. Any wasted journeys will be charged at full rate.

Are they available for sale?

We are solely a hire company. We manufacture all of our units at our purpose-built factory. When the units come to the end of their life we recycle them.

What is the minimum hire period?

You can have units for one day, if you wish; however, we have a minimum charge that would cover a four-week hire. This charge covers the costs of cleaning and testing the unit is ready for hire.
