Your quick guide to our site accommodation units

Need site accommodation that works as hard as you do? From storage units to welfare facilities, here’s a quick guide to what’s available at Smiths Hire!

It doesn’t matter how well a project is planned – if the people on site don’t have the basics in place, things can start to unravel fast. Whether it’s somewhere dry to eat lunch, a secure space to store your tools or expensive kit overnight, or just a proper room to get changed at the start and end of a shift, site accommodation is what keeps your site moving.

Every job is different. You might be managing a long-term build on a city-centre development or setting up a short-term crew for a week of essential maintenance. But whatever the size or scope of the project, the need for safe, secure, and reliable facilities is always there – and often, it’s needed fast.

From fully kitted-out welfare units and portable offices to drying rooms and tool storage that can take a beating, we’ve got exactly what you need in our tool hire service, ready to go. Here’s a quick guide to what’s available – and how each unit can make a difference on your site.

What kind of site accommodation can you hire?

When it comes to running a successful site, the facilities you have in place can be just as important as the tools you’re working with. It’s about getting the basics right, staying compliant, and making sure everything (and everyone) stays safe, comfortable, and ready to work.

At Smiths Hire, we offer a full range of site accommodation units designed to handle the day-to-day demands of life on site – all available with fast delivery. Here’s a closer look at what’s on offer.

Anti-vandal storage units

Our anti-vandal storage units offer exceptional security and durability with robust all-steel construction and high-security locks, ensuring that they’re highly resistant to theft and vandalism. They feature fully opening double doors for easy access and are ideal for unsecured sites. These units are designed with fork-lift pockets for easy transport and can be double-stacked and linked with staircases or combined to form a compound. They’re available in multiple sizes and provide a safe space to store your valuable tools and equipment overnight or during downtime, giving you peace of mind on site. What’s more, they can be fitted with customised racking to maximise storage efficiency and keep everything tidy and accessible.

Anti-vandal office units

Our anti-vandal office units are perfect for managing onsite operations and administrative tasks and are available for short or long-term hire. They come in various sizes, ranging from compact 10ft x 8ft models to larger 32ft x 10ft spaces. Each unit is fully self-contained, with lights, heaters and electricity sockets, offering a quiet and secure working environment, separate from busy construction areas.

Anti-vandal canteen units

A warm meal and a proper break can make all the difference on a busy site. Our anti-vandal canteen units are designed to give your team a safe, comfortable space to recharge. Built to handle tough conditions, each unit is fully self-contained and includes essentials like heaters, lighting, double plug sockets, a sink and water heater.

Available in a range of sizes to suit your setup, these units are all about practicality – helping you meet site welfare needs without compromising on security. Just hook them up to a 240V and 16A power supply and a water source, and you’re good to go.

Anti-vandal drying units

Keeping kit clean and dry is a must on any site – and that’s exactly what these anti-vandal drying units are built for. Manufactured from robust steel, they provide a secure, self-contained space for your team to change, store clothes and dry off after a shift in the elements.

Inside, you’ll find slatted benches, fan heating, and a generous hanging space. There are also wipe-clean walls, sealed vinyl flooring, power points, strip lighting and electric convector heating – everything you need for a warm, practical drying area. Steel lockers are available as optional extras. Available in multiple sizes, these units are stackable with matching canteens, offices or storage containers for efficient use of space on-site.

These are just a few of the site accommodation units we offer.
