What we do

Hire, used sales and purpose-built fabrication.

Avon supplies prefabricated buildings for hire and sale. We also fabricate one-off units where a standard cabin does not meet the requirement.

Hire is the core of the business: stores, container buildings, catering units, vending cabins, toilet blocks and showers. We deliver, site the unit and collect at the end of the hire, nationwide across the United Kingdom.

Used units are available from ex-hire stock, sold according to size, specification and condition. Where a hatch position, roller door width or internal layout is not available on the fleet, we can fabricate to drawing.

Sizes range from compact kiosks through 10ft, 20ft and 40ft buildings. Specifications include roller doors, personnel doors, serving hatches, welfare fittings and electrics. Provide the site and dates and we will confirm availability.

Buy used

Ex-hire units for sale. Storage, catering, vending and welfare. A range of sizes, specifications and conditions is available. Price on application.

Delivery

How units are delivered

Please provide the site postcode and access details. We will confirm the appropriate method. Most units are delivered by flatbed or HIAB. A tilt bed, 40ft trailer or crane lift can be arranged where the site requires it.

Flatbed

Standard delivery on a flatbed lorry. Suitable for most cabins and container buildings.

HIAB

A lorry-mounted crane lifts the unit on and off. Used where there is space to swing and set down.

Tilt bed

The bed tilts so the unit can slide on or off. Suitable for sites with limited crane access.

40ft flatbed

Used for longer buildings and 40ft units that require a full-length trailer.

Crane lift

A crane lift can be arranged where site access requires it. Please provide details of the approach and set-down area.
