Regulations and quality standards for temporary buildings What are the key temporary building regulations, what quality standards do they meet
Temporary buildings come in all shapes and sizes, they are made to measure for your needs. As one of the UK’s leading providers of temporary buildings and semi-permanent structures, we provide a wide range of building types. We engineer a bespoke solution to your exact requirements. Each building type can be specified for all types of applications from warehousing and storage through to workshops and bulk storage facilities.
Insulated buildings and warehouses
An insulated building provides a semi-permeant structure with good thermal performance. Due to the levels of insulation, this type of building is often used for temporary warehousing. The Insulated panels create a thermally efficient temporary building, with a clean and neat finish. There is a range of insulation options to suit any application or budget.
These temporary buildings use modular construction which means you can easily extend the structure if you need additional storage space in the future.
Our industrial buildings provide safe and secure, long term space. The steel sided structures can be customised with large access doors for plant and machinery access. They also make excellent car workshops, vehicle inspection bays, MOT test buildings and containment structures for waste management and processing.
The clearspan structure allows for heights of up to 10m and widths of up to 40m, making it ideal for all types of industrial applications, The profiled finish provides enhanced safety and security. A range of colours are available.
Your workshop space can be customised to include large access doors, viewing windows for MOT testing and bespoke extraction and ventilation systems for all types of vehicle maintenance. Fast-running roller shutter doors ensure smooth operational processes. Lighting systems, windows and other options are available. Our workshops can be designed for any vehicle size, including; HGVs, caravans, motorhomes and cars. Take a look at our recent workshop building for Reading Caravans.
Our bespoke workshops and maintenance bays offer a low cost, high quality alternative to traditional buildings. Construction costs can be 70% lower!
Industrial canopies remove the need for goods to be left in the open and provide a safe, sheltered working environment for staff to work under. Your canopy can be linked directly to an existing loading bay or warehouse building. Alternatively, it can be a standalone structure.
Engineered to your specification, with open gable ends, these structures are designed to meet the relevant BS6399 and Eurocodes for wind and snow loading. They offer a quick and flexible solution to create efficient use of your existing space. Our canopies can be erected in a matter of weeks from point of order and installed on a variety of existing surfaces with a range of permanent or temporary anchorage methods.
Temporary buildings can be a better alternative to a traditional storage unit as the additional space is on your existing land. This is easier than looking for and managing off-site storage solutions. Our buildings can be fully insulated for ambient storage or steel sided for industrial storage. No matter what you need to store, we can provide a storage building for your business.
Temporary industrial tents are a fast and cost effective option to quickly increase your capacity. We hold a large stock of ready to hire equipment meaning we can mobilise quickly to solve your problem. We can design and install a solution anywhere across the UK.
An industrial tent is the ideal interim option for a short to medium-term requirement. Typically our industrial tents are used for overflow storage capacity, temporary welfare facilities for construction and infrastructure projects and bulk warehousing buildings.

As temporary buildings are modular structures, there are a number of flexible specification options. The roofing options are designed to slide through the beams to create a tight seal. There are three main options. A single skin PVC roof which will provide adequate weather protection and is a good option for storing less temperature-sensitive goods or equipment. The PVC is fully tensioned and engineered to comply with local wind and snow loading requirements. It is an affordable, quick, and safe solution.
Secondly, an inflatable roof combines two layers of PVC fabric with a wall-mounted compressor system, providing an insulated air pocket between the two PVC layers. The inflated PVC system improves thermal performance and reduces condensation. Walling options include robust PVC, Industrial steel walling and insulated sandwich panels. These are a selection of the main options, our team will work with you to discuss bespoke options depending on your requirements.
