Yes – Ahoy Hire are able to offer on-site pump and clean services for portable toilets to ensure freshness and comfort. Ahoy Hire also offer 24/7 emergency port-a-loo cleaning call-out services.
How often you clean a port-a-loo will depend on how many people are using the portable toilet and how often. In general, the recommended timeframes are: monthly for 1-3 people, fortnightly for 4-6 people, weekly for 6-12 people, and by arrangement for more than 12 people.
Our portable toilets are suitable for all kinds of events, including festivals, concerts, sporting events, markets, parties and weddings. Speak to our friendly team to discuss how we can cater for your event.
We recommend one toilet for every 50 people at your event. However, there are variables that can change this calculation, such as the ratio of men to women and whether you are serving alcohol at your event. Speak with us to determine the right number for your needs.
We provide fully accessible disabled portable toilets for hire. Our premium fleet of disabled portable toilets include a range of special features that make them easy-to-use and accessible for people with a range of disabilities, including safety rails, self-closing doors and a wide turning circle inside.

To ensure we can meet your specific requirements, we encourage you to contact us in advance. Our team will work with you to provide the right number of toilets for your event or project.
Emptying a portable toilet involves pumping out the waste from the holding tank. This waste is then transported off site. We use environmentally responsible waste management practices, including taking all waste to a council approved, EPA licensed wastewater processing facility.
Our premium portable toilets include a range of helpful features for comfort and safety, including non-slip floors, lockable doors, ventilation, hand basins, labels for male and female toilets and modern freshwater flushes.
Temporary Fencing

Ahoy Hire offer two different types of temporary fencing: anti-climb galvanised welded mesh and diamond link. Both temporary fencing hire options fulfil OH&S requirements and are able to withstand extreme weather conditions.
By law, all swimming pools and spas with a depth greater than 30cm must have temporary fencing while under construction. This includes before the pool has any water in it.
