But what are portable office hire prices?

Portable office hire prices

From steel anti-vandal cabins to wooden or flat-packed portable offices, there’s a huge range of portable offices to choose from. So, it stands to reason that portable office hire prices can vary hugely. The main factors affecting the total cost include:

  • The size of the portable office.
  • Its style.
  • How long you’re hiring it for.
  • Whether it comes furnished.
  • Where it’s being installed.

Most professional hire companies will offer you the option to have furniture, such as desks, included in the package at an extra cost. You may even be able to get a package deal by furnishing your portable office in this way, so make sure to talk to the hire company before obtaining furniture from elsewhere.

Steel anti-vandal portable office cabins vary in price from around £35 per week to £55 per week, depending on the office’s size. The bigger the cabin, the higher the price. For a 20×8 ft steel anti-vandal office, you’re looking at £40 – £65 per week.

Flatpack offices will usually be a bit more expensive, starting at around £80 per week for a 10×8 ft one. For a timber-clad portable office, on the other hand, prices are likely to start at around £55 per week.

FAQs

How long do you have to rent a portable office out for?

It’s best to speak directly with an office hire company to agree on a time frame for your hire. They can often do deals if you’re hiring for a longer period of time.

Do portable offices come with furniture?

Some office hire companies are able to include furniture such as desks in their hire packages for an additional cost. We’d recommend speaking with them directly to get a quote.

Are portable offices fire safe?

Always speak to the hire company about fire safety to ensure you’re familiar with things such as emergency exits and fire extinguishers. It’s always best to be on the safe side and get a fire risk assessment done too for peace of mind.
