Portable toilet hire in Lincoln

Visitor season sets the pace in Lincoln

Lincoln earns its living partly from visitors. The Cathedral and Castle sit at the top of Steep Hill and draw coach parties and weekend crowds from Easter onwards, while the Brayford Pool waterfront hosts markets and festivals through the warmer months. The Asylum Steampunk Festival over the August bank holiday fills the Bailgate with thousands of costumed visitors, the Lincolnshire Show takes over the Showground each June, and wedding venues in the Wolds and the surrounding countryside keep marquee season running from May to September.

Many of the hire firms listed for Lincoln also cover the Lincolnshire coast, where caravan parks, beach events and seasonal attractions between Skegness and Mablethorpe soak up units from spring to early autumn. That shared stock is worth knowing about. If your date falls in peak season, compare quotes early, because the same suppliers are serving both the city and the seaside at once.

Siting a unit from the Bailgate to the fens

Delivery in Lincoln itself is straightforward on the whole, but the uphill quarter needs a little planning. Streets around Steep Hill, the Bailgate and the Cathedral Quarter are narrow, cobbled in places and often restricted, so tell suppliers exactly where the unit will stand when you request quotes. Down the hill the land flattens quickly towards the fens, and rural sites east of the city can mean soft ground and a long carry from the nearest hardstanding, both worth flagging up front.

As a rough guide to what hirers around Lincoln pay:

• Standard site toilets on weekly hire usually fall between £25 and £38 a week, with servicing included on longer bookings.
• Event hire for a weekend commonly runs £85 to £140 per unit, depending on spec and how far the supplier travels.
• Trailer units and accessible toilets cost more and are the first to sell out for summer weekends, so ask about them early.
