And there are a lot of benefits to being on-site while your build is underway. So, today, we're looking at how to use static caravans for self­ build projects and improvement projects. What are the benefits and options that are available to you as accommodation for self-build projects?

Why choose static caravans or mobile homes as temporary accommodation?

Static caravans for self-build and home improvement projects make ideal temporary accommodation at your building site. If you're renting a static caravan, you can benefit from:

  • Lower temporary housing costs
  • Improved rental terms
  • Good comfort & security levels
  • On-site presence during your build
  • Better job/life balance Reduced utility bills
  • Fewer address changes and less admin

For less than £100 a week, you could have a comfortable 2 or 3-bedroom home delivered to and from your build site. This can allow you and your family to begin integrating into their new surroundings and let your children start at their new school. Or they could remain in their own surroundings and benefit from staying at home. Our static caravans for self-build or home improvement projects are just the thing for you to remain on-site with all the benefits and flexibility that presence offers.

They have all the basics you would expect from a static caravan and we can send you pictures before you hire. We also offer you the opportunity to visit us and choose your own static caravan to hire. As you'd expect, they're all fully insured and gas and electric safety tested for your peace of mind within your hire contract.

Static Caravanas for Hire

What are the benefits of static caravans for your building improvement projects?

There are a lot of benefits when you use static caravans for self-build or home improvement projects. Here are just a few:

  • On-site presence - keep your build moving along when you're on hand to deal with any issues that arise. Don't let costs mount due to site-to-site commutes. Reduce your stress levels by discussing any issues with your builder and avoid late-night phone calls.
  • Comfort & security - a caravan is just like any other home with standard security features and it allows you to maintain a presence at all times to deter vandals - a huge job-site risk. Also, you get to stay in your local area with all the benefits as well as maintaining your privacy.
  • Reduced stress - undertaking a build can be a costly venture but using static caravans for self-build projects as temporary accommodation means you can go through the construction process without adding hefty additional bills. Our static caravans or mobile homes start at £85 per week plus vat. Maintaining your current address rather than renting another house temporarily reduces paperwork and costs. This includes all hire statics being fully insured.
  • Work-life balance - skip the interim step of cutting off water, internet, electricity and gas until your build is complete. With static caravans for self-build or home improvement projects, you can just swap your services and mail straight over or maintain your existing providers. Know that you are in safe hands with a family-run business. We know all our customers by name and aim to treat them as individuals.
  • Flexible rentals - sometimes a build will run over or finish early. So, if you need to extend your stay, you can do so under much more flexible terms than renting a house. Once you rent one of our static caravans or mobile homes there is only a minimum hire period of 12 weeks. Then, your hire can finish with our two-week notice period.
  • Lower costs - hiring a static caravan or mobile home will reduce your accommodation costs and enable you to live on site. You can then minimise the time and cost of your build (large or small) by being available. You can ensure that the site does not waste materials or energy. Plus, you’ll save time and money commuting to and from your site.

Should you rent or buy your static caravan?

When looking at how to use static caravans or mobile homes for self-build home improvement projects, you may want to buy one instead. And you can do that from us with prices starting at around £3,950. But, with such low rental rates and flexible plans, it may make more sense to not have the large initial outlay and stress of having to sell it later. With rentals, you don’t need to organise transport to deliver or collect and we arrange all the safety tests which are needed. In general, if your build will take less than a year or two, renting is probably better for you and includes insurance.
