How Much Does Site Canteen Hire Cost for Projects?

The cost of site canteen hire ranges from £90 to over £250 per week, depending on the unit size, hire duration, and the range of facilities included.

Costs are primarily influenced by factors such as the inclusion of kitchen equipment, seating capacity, water or power connections, and additional amenities like heating or ventilation systems.

What Types of Site Canteen Hire Units Are Available?

We offer a comprehensive selection of site canteen hire units to suit different team sizes, site layouts, and welfare requirements, including:

• 10ft canteen cabins – Compact, practical units ideal for small crews or limited-space sites.
• 12ft canteen cabins – Provide additional room for seating and food preparation in medium-sized teams.
• 20ft canteen cabins – Fully equipped units featuring tables, benches, heating, lighting, and power outlets.
• 24ft canteen cabins – Spacious options designed for larger teams needing extended dining and rest areas.
• Modular canteen setups – Interlinked units for high-capacity or long-term projects requiring expanded welfare facilities.

Does Site Canteen Hire Include Delivery, Setup and Utilities?

All of our canteen hire services include delivery to the site, professional installation, and, where applicable, connections to power and water supplies.

If direct connections aren’t available, we can supply supplementary equipment such as generators, water bowsers, and waste tanks. Our team handles everything from logistics to setup, ensuring the unit is safe, secure, and ready for immediate use.

How Quickly Can Site Canteen Hire Be Deployed to Work Sites?

We aim to deliver and install site canteen units within 24 to 72 hours of booking. In urgent cases, same-day or next-day delivery may be possible depending on availability.

Our logistics team coordinates closely with your project schedule to minimise delays and ensure your canteen is operational as soon as you need it.

Is Site Canteen Hire Near More Cost‑Effective Than On‑Site Kitchen Build?

Hiring a portable site canteen is typically far more cost-effective as it reduces the need for planning permission, labour, and material costs, while offering the same functional benefits in a temporary format.

For short to mid-term projects, hiring a canteen unit ensures compliance and comfort without the long-term expense.

What Site Conditions Require Secure or Anti‑Vandal Site Canteen Hire?

Secure or anti-vandal site canteens for hire are recommended for environments where protection, durability, and security are essential, including:

• Urban construction sites – High-traffic or city-centre locations where equipment and facilities are more vulnerable to theft or vandalism.
• Remote or isolated sites – Areas with limited supervision or security presence that require extra safeguarding.
• Long-term infrastructure projects – Extended operations where canteen units remain on-site for months and need enhanced protection.
• Industrial estates and redevelopment zones – Locations with high movement of contractors or materials requiring secure welfare areas.
• Unmanned or after-hours sites – Worksites left unattended overnight or at weekends that demand tamper-resistant features.

Are Short‑Term and Long‑Term Site Canteen Hire Contracts Offered?

At Site Canteens, we offer flexible rental agreements for clients, including short-term hire for events and emergency works, as well as long-term contracts for ongoing construction or infrastructure projects.

We also offer the ability to extend or modify your hire contract as project needs evolve, ensuring you have welfare facilities for the entire duration of your work. Be Customised for Offices, Welfare or Storage?

Many of our site canteen units are modular and can be configured or paired with other site accommodation options, which include adding office areas, toilet blocks, changing rooms, drying rooms, or secure storage.

We’ll work with you to develop a bespoke layout that maximises available space on-site while fulfilling your team’s welfare and operational needs.
