Pickerings CCTV monitoring helps avoid potential losses, criminal damage and theft which could save you the costs, hassle and time of sorting out a break-in. The sight of a CCTV camera acts as a visual deterrent to thieves and vandals from carrying out illegal activities and highlights the site is under surveillance. It is a cost-effective solution to protect your property. Site monitoring when your site is closed gives you increased sense of security and reassurance that activities can be followed enabling swift action to be taken.
Whether you're undergoing refurbishment of existing facilities, working on a new residential development or building vital infrastructure, getting the right amount of power for the job is an important consideration. For most construction sites, attaining a reliable power supply will require a generator. It is important to ensure that your generator is optimally sized to match the load requirements of the site. We can provide power solutions no matter whether your load is for a small portable cabin containing a kettle and laptop or a modular building complex of multiple offices, toilet blocks and changing rooms.
Before your modular building and portable cabins are delivered to site you'll need to make sure you have well consolidated and level ground to install them. If you're considering housing your building on a tarmac base it won't be sufficient to place your building directly onto it as it may not be strong enough and could cause damage leaving you with expensive repairs to undertake. Pickerings can complete your site preparation, foundations and other external works to overcome unsuitable ground especially on a sloping or unlevel site.
We provide a wide choice of furniture you'll need to use every day for your portable offices, meeting rooms, canteens and changing rooms.

The best solution is to hire one of Pickerings popular furniture packs with your portable accommodation. These are designed to provide you with all the most common furniture requests we get from our customers - so you don't have to think about it.
Sometimes you may need to relocate your portable buildings, either to a different part of your site or to a new site.

To make the relocation process as simple and safe as possible, Pickerings offers a complete relocation service for all of its hired products - modular buildings, portable cabins and welfare buildings.
