Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 20,000 litre pillow tank used for?

Plus
A 20,000L pillow tank is a portable, temporary water storage solution commonly used on construction sites, events, utilities works, washdown operations, and emergency/contingency setups where a reliable bulk water reserve is needed.

How is the pillow tank set up on site?

Plus
Pillow tanks should be placed on a flat, level, debris-free surface (no sharp stones or rubble) with sufficient room around the tank for safe access, hose routing, and inspection. Using a protective groundsheet/mat is often recommended to reduce abrasion risk.

Can portable toilets be delivered anywhere?

Plus
In most cases, yes, we can deliver to sites and venues across the UK, as long as there’s suitable access for our delivery vehicle and a safe place to position the unit.

How do filling and emptying work?

Plus
The tank is filled/emptied via hose connections/valves (the exact fitting types can vary). In practice, you’ll want:A suitable water source (mains, bowser, hydrant, etc.) and compatible hosesA plan for controlled discharge/transfer (to another tank, bowser, or approved drain point)Someone assigned to monitor fill level to prevent overfilling and manage pressure/flow safely

We hired posh loos from George Shaw for our wedding in Yorkshire (big marquee shindig). Everyone commented on how luxurious the facilities were! Big, clean and easily capable of ‘looking after’ over a hundred guests. The service was very professional and, on such an important day, we just knew after talking to George and Allison that the loos were not going to let us down. Definitely recommend! Five stars.

I cannot recommend George Shaw enough to anyone looking to hire toilets! Our event was booked very last minute and we had lost all hope in securing toilet facilities but thanks to Alison and Alex at George Shaw who went above and beyond with their efficiencies and professionalism our issues were resolved. Both them and the set up crew were a delight to deal with. Will 100% use again.

Highly recommend George Shaw. We had booked to hire two portable toilets for our wedding but on the morning they were due to be delivered Alison contacted us and offered for us to upgrade to the trailer block for no extra charge. Toilets were spotless, very friendly team and great to deal with. Thank you so much!

It’s great to find a company that does a job and does it so well! A two year self-build required hospitality (ok, a toilet) and George Shaw provided it, cleaned it and even put it back up again when it blew over. A super local company that does what it says.
