Typical weekly site hire runs around £25 to £38, with event weekends from £85 to £140.

Hastings is a town built on hills, and that matters more for toilet hire than almost anywhere else on the south coast. The Old Town's lanes around George Street and the High Street are narrow, often stepped, and hemmed in by parked cars, while the terraces climbing West Hill and the streets behind St Leonards seafront can be steep enough to rule out a tail-lift delivery altogether. Suppliers need to get a vehicle within a short distance of the final position, so before you book, walk the route a delivery driver would take and note anything awkward: kerbs, gradients, narrow passages, overhanging walls.
A standard unit needs firm, level ground roughly a metre square. If your only option is a rear garden reached through the house or down a twitten, say so up front. Local firms quote more accurately, and more cheaply, when they know exactly what they are dealing with, and most will suggest a workaround if the obvious spot will not work.
Where the unit sits determines the paperwork. On a private drive, garden or building site there is nothing to apply for; you just need the landowner's say-so. Put it on the pavement or road, and you will need a highway permit arranged through the council before delivery day, which can take a week or more, so build that into your timings. Parking is the other practicality: much of central Hastings and St Leonards is permit-controlled, and suppliers may need a bay suspended to unload safely on tighter streets.
The events calendar adds seasonal pressure. Jack in the Green over the May bank holiday, Pirate Day in July and the bonfire celebrations during Hastings Week in October all draw big crowds, and local stock gets booked out around those dates. If you are organising anything on the seafront, in Alexandra Park or on council land, the council will expect welfare facilities as part of your event plan, so ask suppliers for attendance-based numbers early.
Yes, if it stands on the public highway, including pavements, you need council permission before it is delivered, and there is usually a fee. On private land such as a driveway, garden or fenced site, no permit is needed, only the landowner's agreement. Allow at least a week for highway applications.
Usually, yes, but tell the supplier exactly where the unit is going. Streets around George Street and up West Hill are narrow, steep and often stepped, so drivers may need to wheel units the last stretch by hand. Photos of the route and a measurement of the tightest gap help enormously.
Two to four weeks is enough for most of the year, but book earlier around Jack in the Green in early May, Pirate Day in July and Hastings Week in October, when local units are in heavy demand. Weekend event hire typically costs between £85 and £140, depending on the unit and servicing.
