No Plumb toilet

spungbob

I am looking into working from home but would like separate access for clients and wondered how feasible it is to have a toilet shed outside with little or no plumbing required, so that people who need to use facilities are still kept separate from the living areas of our home?

errr - hole in the ground? can't see how you can have a 'no plumb' toilet unless it's one of those chemical toilets for camping/caravans which you'd have to empty.

Don't mind emptying it as long as it's something that would conform to health and safety standards etc. Not sure how difficult it is to plumb an outside toilet or what sort of costs we'd be looking at so wanted to look at other options first

How about a composting toilet? Tell your clients that it's part of your company's new green initiative?

Composting toilet, chemical toilet or sh*tting in a bucket. If I was a customer of yours and had to use either of these, I would soon find an alternative supplier.

Get one built properly, put it though as a legitimate business expense and it can be set against tax.

Having visited CAT composting toilet are not at all smelly until, Set upright they shouldn't smell. But I dont think that the answer in this case Caravan type chemical toilet probably the best bet.

I remain to be convinced. I've also visited CAT and used composting toilets abroad.

I'd still rather go behind a bush.

That approach is fine if you are living in a hippy commune or in a caravan, but not if you are visiting someones business premises as a customer / client. Whatever next? Will you be expected to take your own camping stools and sit round singing Ging-gang-goollie. This is simply not the approach a professional business should be taking.
