Lunchrooms

Somewhere decent for the team to have a break

A dry, warm place to eat lunch is not a luxury on a work site - it is a basic welfare requirement, and crews notice when it is done well. A container lunchroom gives you that without renting a portacom for the life of the job.

We fit them out with bench seating, a kitchenette with a sink and hot water, good lighting, heating and ventilation. Add lockers and a drying area and the crew has everything they need in one unit.

For a sink you will need a water supply and waste. Where site services are not available we can fit a self-contained system with a fresh tank and a waste tank instead.

Yes, and for a fixed-term project that is usually the sensible option. Hire it for the duration and we collect it when the job wraps up.

A properly fitted lunchroom with seating, heating, ventilation and hand washing covers the practical requirements for site welfare. Your health and safety adviser should confirm the specifics for your site and crew size.
