Portakabin is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of portable and modular buildings, supplying both permanent and temporary facilities across every sector. Each prefabricated (prefab) building is precision-engineered in our offsite manufacturing centre to deliver consistent quality, rapid installation and minimal disruption.
Modular construction allows individual steel-framed modules to be completed off site with internal finishes and services already installed. Once delivered, they are connected on location to create fully fitted, permanent-standard spaces in a fraction of the time required for traditional builds.
Whether you’re looking to hire temporary buildings or purchase a long-term solution, Portakabin provides a full range of prefab building options, from site accommodation, offices and storage units to healthcare facilities and operating theatres.
Modular buildings, sometimes referred to as prefab buildings in the UK, give you the flexibility to locate, reconfigure and relocate as your business changes. The added flexibility of hiring modular buildings or portable cabins means that you only have the buildings for as long as you need them. Combined with rapid installation and precision offsite construction, modular buildings offer a reliable, high-quality alternative to traditional builds across the UK.
Portakabin modular buildings deliver permanent-standard quality, lower environmental impact and faster build times than conventional construction. Each structure is manufactured in ISO-accredited UK facilities and certified by the British Board of Agrément, ensuring durability and compliance. With over 60 years of experience, Portakabin continues to lead modular innovation across education, healthcare, and commercial sectors.
This building is an amazing start to our school year. The centre is both new and modern but in keeping with our existing facilities. Our staff and sixth formers are really delighted to be working and studying in such a high quality learning environment.
