What the regulations say
The Construction Regulations, 2014 (regulation 30) say a contractor must provide at least one sanitary facility for each sex and for every 30 workers. For twelve workers of both sexes, that is at least one facility for each sex. Regulation 30 sits alongside other site rules and your client’s health and safety specification. Ask your safety officer or principal contractor what applies on your site, including whether chemical toilets are acceptable to the client.
What monthly hire covers
- Delivery and setting up on site
- Weekly servicing (common on monthly site hire; some firms list 4 services a month): emptying the tank, topping up chemicals, restocking paper
- Collection when the hire ends
Which of these a given hire company includes varies. Ask for it in the quote, along with VAT, the minimum hire period, the notice period and any deposit.
What it costs
A standard chemical toilet for a site is advertised from about R1,050 to R1,500 a month with weekly servicing (Gauteng, November 2026). Delivery, distance and extra servicing can cost more. A flushing site toilet with a hand basin can cost more.
What the truck needs
Servicing is done by a vacuum tanker, so it has to reach the toilet. Keep the route clear, mind soft ground and tight gates, and put the toilet where the tanker can park. If the truck cannot reach the unit, servicing can be delayed.
If you have more workers
Busy sites may need servicing more often than weekly. Ask the hire company what suits your worker numbers, and what happens if numbers change mid-month.
Common questions
How many toilets does a building site need?
The Construction Regulations, 2014 (regulation 30) say at least one sanitary facility for each sex and for every 30 workers. The regulation sits alongside other site rules and your client’s health and safety specification. Ask your safety officer or principal contractor what applies on your site.
How often are hired toilets serviced?
Weekly servicing is common for site hire, and some firms list 4 services a month. Busier sites and larger events need it more often. Ask for the servicing plan in your quote.
Do you supply hand washing?
Many hire companies offer hand wash basins or stations, sometimes as an extra. Ask for it in the quote. A flushing trailer has its own basin.
Can the toilet be moved when the site changes?
Some hire companies relocate units for you, sometimes free on the same site and sometimes at a charge. Do not move a unit yourself unless the hire company agrees. Ask about it in the quote.
