Mobile homes for self-build...

Feb 25, 2005 2 Replies

Hi,



I'm looking for a mobile home to put on site during our build (starts mid-march). We are in Kent, so I'm looking for recommended suppliers in the SE - we don't need cooking or toilet facilities, just a couple of bedrooms and an open area (the mobile is just for 2 kids' bedrooms - everything and everyone else is in the building next door). It's for 10 months - good hard standing and power available.



Any ideas for suppliers apart from those in the back of Built-It etc.? (or even experiences of those)



many thanks



Mike


Have you thought about a portable building rather than a mobile home? We rented a small one to put all our posessions in while building was going on and it was actually fully fitted as an office.

A portakabin type office building sounds like it should have everything you want. And the nice thing about these is that they are available for long-term rent.

I wouldn't even consider using one for kids bedrooms without toilet facilities. If you don't have them, you're going to have a lot of wet sheets and mattresses to clean. The difference between having a bunk or a standard bed is large enough, without having to get dressed and walk to another building in the middle of the night to relieve themselves.
