Temporary workshops

For hire or purchase

Our temporary workshop hire service provides the ideal on-site space solution for businesses needing rapid expansion, from manufacturing and trade units to MOT bays and storage overflow. We also offer portable workshop hire for shorter projects, with a versatile range of options to fit various budgets and requirements, featuring flexible sizing and customisable heights for large vehicle access or specialist projects.

Each structure can be fully tailored with climate control, lighting, racking, and various door configurations. Available in both insulated and non-insulated models, our buildings are perfect for short-term projects or long-term use. Contact our experts today to discuss your requirements.

Workshop structures are available in a wide range of sizes, from compact single bay units up to large multi vehicle workshops with space for lifts, inspection pits and storage racking. Most standard temporary workshop hire projects are installed within two to four weeks of order, depending on size and specification, with bespoke or insulated builds taking a little longer. Whether you need a permanent MOT bay, overflow storage for busy periods, or a full trade workshop, our team will size the structure to your exact workflow.

Temporary Workshop Buildings – FAQs

How long does it take to install a temporary workshop?

Installation times depend on the size and specification of the building. Smaller, standard workshop structures can often be installed within a few days, while larger or bespoke projects may take several weeks from start to finish.

What sizes are available for temporary workshop buildings?

Our temporary workshops are available in a wide range of sizes, with clear spans typically ranging from 5m to 30m wide and no fixed length restrictions. Eave heights generally range from 2.3m up to 10m, allowing us to tailor each structure to your operational needs.

Are temporary workshops insulated?

Yes. We offer multiple insulation options, from uninsulated PVC covers for basic storage to fully insulated sandwich panel systems that provide a comfortable, temperature-controlled working environment all year round.

How much does a temporary workshop cost?

The cost of a temporary workshop depends on factors such as size, specification, location, and hire period. In most cases, temporary buildings can be up to 70% more cost-effective than permanent construction, making them a flexible and affordable solution.

Are temporary workshop buildings secure?

Absolutely. Our structures are designed with security in mind and can be fitted with steel cladding, lockable access doors, and optional CCTV and alarm systems to protect your equipment and staff.

Are temporary workshops watertight and weatherproof?

Yes. When installed by our experienced team, our temporary workshop buildings are fully weather-resistant and designed to remain watertight in all conditions.

Do temporary workshops require foundations?

In most cases, foundations are not required. Structures can usually be fixed directly to existing concrete, tarmac, or hardstanding using ground anchors or raw bolts, helping to reduce installation time and groundworks costs.

Do I need planning permission for a temporary workshop?

Planning requirements vary depending on location, size, and duration. Generally, structures used for more than 28 days or exceeding 100m² may require permission. However, some installations may fall under permitted development rights. We can advise you during the planning stage.

Can the building be moved or extended later?

Yes. Our temporary workshops are modular and demountable, meaning they can be dismantled, relocated, extended, or reconfigured as your business needs change.
