- Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Wedding Lounge podcast.
Now today we are joined by a guest which is hopefully going to give us a real insight
into something that I think is often very overlooked and underthought about,
but it's actually really important. So we've got Hayley who joins us from FourJays
and they run a luxury toilet trailer company. So hi, Hayley, how are you?
- Hi, I'm very well. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me on.
- Thanks for coming on. I mean, it's not one of the most glamorous
subjects I've talked about and not the most important thing when people think
of tanning their wedding, but it is an important thing.
- It's essential. It's essential. It's just not the pretty side of weddings, I guess.
- No, it's not crucial. - So I think a lot of people
to get them. Does that make sense? And it's just something you don't really realize.
And you're like, oh no, we actually do need the toilet.
Yeah, so I think they're very important to that.
- Why do people tend to need toilets? What makes it a wedding or event when
people need toilets? Because surely most venues have them.
So why do people tend to come to four days looking higher of toilets?
- I think a lot of the times it depends on the venue. So as much as venues may have toilets,
they may only have like one or a disabled or a couple. So then I'll see the whole idea,
then I'll need basically to have a toilet trailer, especially, is to alleviate the cues,
obviously is to make sure that you actually can go to the toilet if you're kind of having
marquis weddings. Marquis, the venues, a lot of times to be fair, we do have a lot of weddings that
people have them at their own homes or farms. If they have one, they have it kind of in that garden,
so then they need the toilet trailer. A lot of the times they have them at home, then it's just,
they don't want the guests to go into the house. So basically, this location, it all depends on
the venue and the location of where the toilet's going to be going or the wedding's going to be held.
So that's why they kind of need to toilet's basically.
- I had a client, like quite early on in my work, who they had, they marquis at home in quite a small
garden and there wasn't space for the toilet trailer and it was something they were just like,
oh no, it's fine, we'll just use the house. It's like 90 odd guests and they had two
loos in the house and the amount of times and how often people are going, the system doesn't keep
up and the water pressure dropped off completely. So it's one of those things that it just people
think, oh, we can just use the house. You can't just use the house, not for that number of people.
- Well, exactly that. I think a lot of the times you forget, you know, it's okay if you're having
like a party of maybe 10 to 20 people having that at home, no problem. If you've got a guest
for a wedding for like, say like 100 people, try to sort that out with the toilets and obviously,
you know, the queues as well, it's just, you don't realise that that's actually high,
like you say, it's just going to not really cope with that with the amount of it's going to be needed.
Definitely have a toilet trailer. - And what sort of options are there for people when they're
looking for toilets? I mean, you've mentioned toilet trailers. People might be conjuring up sort of
rows of the green, plastic toilets. - Like you've all the things. - Or you know, really big
track, you know, like at Royal Ascot, they have really big, like humongous, not very attractive
toilet trailers. What sort of options are there out there for people who are looking for higher
toilets for their own wedding or event? - Well, obviously, they still got the sort of
the poly kind of toilets, which are the plastic toilets. They are of the lesser budget side of things.
However, mainly for weddings, we have the luxury range or we have the shepherd's heart,
we've got the putique, things like that. So they're the toilet trailers that are a lot nicer,
for the venues, sort of you get that kind of feel that it's a bit more classy. We get different sizes
and obviously that will depends on how many numbers of like people go into the weddings.
So you have like the 1+1s, you have 2+2s and typically the 3+3s. We also do 4+2s. Sorry.
- So you're going to say just to explain to our listeners what do we mean by 2+2? Is it 2+2?
- Oh yes. - Yes, so you're just doing it. So basically that means the number of cubicles. So if you
have like a 1+1 toilet trailer, it's the trailer and you've got 1 cubicle one side and 1 cubicle
the other. That's basically that one. If you've got a 2+1 or a 3+1, then the larger number of cubicles
is normally for the ladies and then they will see got them cubicles and the smaller sides, which is the
one, they'll have one in the gents and then there has some urinals as well. Some people do like it the
other way around, depending on the actual needs. And we can cover up urinals if they choose to have
the largest side for the gents as such. So then that's more of a rough year than 2+1 and so on.
Yeah, things like that. They're not typical ones, but they are out there.
- Yeah. - So there's them ones. We do also do like a really quite larger unit, which is a 4+2.
That's just a very, very big one, but typically normally they're more of the smaller sizes.
Our main ones that we do are the 1+1s and the 2+1s. They are just the typical ones because otherwise
the 3+1s, it's all based on maths and how many people are going to be using them at the time,
but then ones before the weddings. I think it's quite important to mention as well that these
lieu trailers have a capacity as well as in length of time that they can be useful before their tanks
are necessarily full. So if you're planning a two-day event as well, it's important to get a trailer
that's big enough to cope with that capacity. So your numbers might not be massive, but if you are
planning on doing something over two days and you're looking to hire in a company like 4Js and
it's quite important to mention that you want to go back and use it the second day and I think that's
something that's quite often overlooked. Massively, I think that's where people kind of fall
forward, short with that because they just think they just need a toilet tray and that's it.
They've got that many numbers, but then like you say a lot of people, some people do camp and then
some people obviously carry on the next day. Then toilet trailers, like you said, they have a
capacity that tank can only hold so much and then after that it won't be very present to use. So
that's why we always have to make sure that we do get numbers for guests and we do actually understand
if we could find out like when they're actually arriving and when they're leaving, when they're
staying, how many, and I know a lot of people are kind of not really understanding or not really
kind of realise sorry, the importance behind that. Also we don't on your wedding day want them over
flowing the next day and then they can't be used. You know, so we have to always make sure that we
we provide the toilet trailer that's suitable. Do you find that some of that information sometimes
get missed if it's booked through a marquee company? Sometimes I think, I think sometimes if I can
if you can directly use people then that's brilliant because you can speak to that customer.
Obviously sometimes if it's like a third party, they only get the information from the customer
and they pass on to us. We don't speak to the customer themselves. Obviously and that's fine,
there's no problem. We're more than we use a lot of companies put like marquees, they use us a lot.
And I think sometimes the ones that use us a lot, they know that kind of protocol kind of thing,
but sometimes it is kind of handy if we could speak to the say the couple themselves. So they may
know and we know and then they can understand what's sort of arriving and what's expected if that makes
sense. Yeah, you mentioned Sheppard's Hub when obviously we've both seen Sheppard Hub toilets, but
for listeners who maybe haven't started their wedding planning journey really yet and they don't
really know the difference. What are the main sort of aesthetic, the look sort of difference between
standard toilet trailer and set a Sheppard Hub trailer? So each of our toilet trailers are
different basically and they're, I mean the main ones that we have the luxury ones are different,
we can have like grey, white and green and normally they're not always available, but we do have
them ones. The Sheppard's Hub is always grey. So the look is very much more rustic kind of thing,
the feel is different, they're really lovely for barn kind of weddings and you know the farm kind
of weddings if that's what you kind of want to go through or go for basically. That's what the Sheppard's
Hub for basically. They've got like the sinks are more like cast iron buckets rather than a natural
sink, but they're the top ones, that's why they're so they're the most popular for weddings because
of that feel and especially how I think anyway now that I use like barn weddings are really kind
of out there and really quite popular, they kind of sort of get out of stock really quickly.
So yeah, that's the difference between them ones and then other toilet trailers. The other toilet
trailers are a bit more like obviously a typical sink and then you kind of get different sort of
feels from them, but yeah, the Sheppard's Hub are like the round kind of toilet trailer.
You can change the lighting in your toilet, aren't you?
Yeah, you can. And I've got a bunch of weird music. Yeah, yeah. Tim showed us round the yard like, yeah.
Yeah, it was Tim, wasn't it? Yeah, I loved him, to be honest.
He is, he's wonderful, he's absolutely amazing and he's just incredible and he's got so much knowledge,
so he's lovely to have a wonderful, wonderful man and he's so good and he's the customer service
and he's we're kind of blessed to have him really because he just goes above and beyond and he's
so happy to sort of make sure everything is usually like perfect. Even when the trailers come back,
he makes sure all the trailers are ready and he's great doing all that. So yeah.
We've talked a bit about practicalities for when people booking toilets,
thinking about guest numbers, how long the toilets are going to be in use for.
What other things do people need to think about when booking? Do they need to be close to power,
water on a level surface? Do they need to be accessed to where the toilets need to go? What sort of
things should people consider when just booking their toilets? Access is definitely number one
on the list basically because obviously if we are toilet trailers can only sort of you got to think
that we're touring the toilet trailers. We've got to make sure that the gate width is okay,
they're sort of turning in the venues okay. We're able to actually maybe make sure that it's level
like you said. We can level them out normally. If it's a really steep incline then we can't necessarily,
but our drivers will do the best they possibly can. It doesn't need to be completely level ground.
We can level it. The other thing is what you said about the power, they all need power within 30 meters
of the power source, but they don't need water. So when they turn up they are completely ready to go.
The tanks will fall, the toilet rolls down, we've got hand-site moisturiser and everything you need
is ready but we just need the power. That's all we need for that. These loos have hot water.
They're not basic. They're like walking into a loo in someone's home really aren't they, or a restaurant.
Yeah, yeah. When couples get in touch with you, I'm assuming most people have no idea what they're
saying or doing. They just go, "We need a toilet." But what is the process when someone comes to book a
toilet for their event? What sort of happens? And then what happens on the day like when the toilet's
actually arrive, how do people go about setting them up? So that's kind of a two-part question. What's
the sort of booking process first, I guess? Okay, so the booking process is obviously somebody just
said, "I need a toilet. I'm getting married." Then obviously I'll go back to them and ask them,
the numbers, the location is important, access, all things like that. And I do normally ask them
because obviously I know they may not be thinking if there's anyone's campaign, if it's just the day
event. So I'll ask all of that. Obviously they'll come back to me and then that's fine. We can
chit chat and things like that. They can give me a call if they wanted to talk through things. But
normally I do do things on email because it's just a quick car and also you can see things. So
to me, I'll drive a thing in black and white in front of me if that makes sense. Then I'll remember
more than a phone call. I'll get off a phone call and I've no idea what was said. So that's that
process. And obviously you go through the quote process. I'll send you a quote. Then you come back
and say, "Yes or no, I want to change these." So because I'm in chaos. And then also then we get
the book in and then that's fine. Then also on the day you don't need to be there unless you want to
be there unless as well if there's any you need to get the gate open. You want to show where the
placement is. And this is so long they know exactly what they're doing. So if they can turn up and
then you say that this is where I want it or a lot of the time we get the customers asking for
the drive to give them a call. So then the driver then can chat through with them where they want
to see how it's all going to set up. Obviously power wise, they need power. Our drivers will not
leave unless it's tested plugged in, tested it out. Even if they plug it in they're like, we're not
going to have it like for a couple of days and we're going to unplug it. That's fine. But obviously
our drivers will never leave until that's actually running up running and all okay and they're happy
with them. So you don't need to be there but it kind of helps sometimes. So it could be dropped off
a couple of days before essentially and just be tested and then just left in situ. Yeah and
normally delivery dates to be fair like you'll see a lot of weddings typically not always but typically
are weekends. So we have like windows. So we normally deliver a Wednesday, Thursday and then we
collect them and they'll choose the after. So when we kind of schedule then we try and make out like
obviously location wise if there's any specific needs. I know obviously some venues do have only
you can deliver on Friday and collect on the Monday. Obviously we're going to always make sure that
we do that. We can stop it off say the Wednesday. You're not getting married to a Saturday. That's
absolutely fine. We know that it's up and running if you find or you need to do a plug it in and it's
away with them. Just a quick one interjecting here because I've had this a few events. When you obviously
have a toilet set up if you've got suppliers on site that week setting up your marquee and stuff
do you advise to have the suppliers use a different toilet because isn't there something that if they've
even used the toilet you know just maybe three times in one day like someone because they're setting
up the marquee there all day. Does it set off the chemicals in the toilet or something? I remember
speaking to someone before about that. Is it best to literally ask your suppliers like your caterers
if they're they're setting up tables to like use the house toilet until and leave the toilets locked
until the guests actually arrive or is that just here so? No I think if you if your suppliers can use
a different toilet and you leave that toilet or your toilet trailer for the actual day it's
more fresh does that mean it's going to be any smells because obviously it's completely fresh it's
ready to go. If somebody has used it for say a couple of days beforehand there is going to be a
certain smell that might possibly could linger depending on the time of year in the heat of summer
you're not going to want sort of that smell definitely and you'll see it be closed for the same
couple of days it's not as fresh so yes I would suggest if your suppliers could use another toilet
then that'd be perfect it's it's already imperfect and smells fresh for your wedding so yeah
you've got the budget as well you could you could get a welfare plastic glue. I've had one event
and it was the best thing ever so this welfare like a builder's glue the kind of plastic
loose you see at festivals was arrived the day the marquee went up so it meant that all the suppliers
because we were in a field in the middle of nowhere had somewhere to go that wasn't a driver a walkway
to get back to the house but it also meant that then the guest loose weren't touched either and it
was just they are not terribly expensive so to add them on and then it can be gone on the Friday
when the lose are ready to then go for the satay. Yeah I had that with the big party last year we had
five toilet units because it was nearly five hundred guests and we had an accessible plastic glue
and they also had a separate like portal loose or style for the suppliers because there were so many
suppliers on site we didn't want them using the toilet before and now I think I think it's a good idea
having that the extra poly kind of toilet that would perfect especially if you think you've got
quite a few suppliers that's going to eat into your capacity if you're toilet trailer so you know
if you're kind of like towards the nearest side of like the full capacity then in your adding next
to sort of 20 flushes on then that's quite a lot actually so having a next to toilet like you said
it would be a really good idea and like you said as well they're not you know they're not as expensive
as a toilet trailer they're not that expensive at all and obviously they're easy to sort of move
around if that makes sense like for our drivers basically so I'll definitely suggest that if you're
doing like a lot of suppliers yeah it's not just loose that you guys have either is it like you've
got other facilities as well like we've spoken we touched on a few times camping there's shower
facilities that are fairly similar aren't there yeah yeah we do shower we do shower trailers
they always have to be linked up to mains so and mains drain well mains input basically inlet
and then they also do need the power the drain is consulted because it's just grey water if you
can kind of go into a field if you're in a field it doesn't need to go like proper drainage
and there are because I think a lot of the times with our showers people it's want they expect
or they assume that there's a capacity but there is no capacity because it's mains yeah that makes
sense yeah and so it all depends on the number of people you go and I always think I think if you
if you're having like say 30 guests staying then you only really need to do a two bay which means
obviously two cubicles but if you're having like a hundred people then I'd do like the six bay
because it alleviates the cues that's that's all it is if everyone's going to shower or together
then you've got six rather than two so that's the only reason why you'd have different sizes
does the water pressure change depending on the size of or the amount of cubicles you thought
if say all six showers are running at the same time would you and you had two showers running at
the same time is the does it come out like if you've got four showers running well who has four
showers in a house but if you've got four showers in a house running all at the same time you're
like you're running a bath and do the washing machine yeah running the bath washing your hands
all of that so it's not it's not the water so much it's the power so because obviously it's the pump
yeah so it's it's the power and the pressure of the water so the water then goes into the tank
basically and fills up and then the tank will take it but the way the water comes out the
tank you need the pump a lot of the time we did one a little while ago and somebody was using the
solar panels and it just was not working that we didn't it wasn't powerful to they had a six-page
shower and it was kind of working the two cubicles but not the rest but it's just because of the power
so it's not the water in it it's more the power needs for that one which is just normal but
it's just a normal like a household plug and nothing special but you just definitely need the power
as well as showers we kind of talked about capacity of toilets but I mean I know I've used
this service before with you is the service like toilet service so instead of having a whole
of the unit we booked and paid for the toilet service to come in early on the Sunday morning
so that the toilets are quite good ready so it wasn't an extra unit or a bigger unit they
were just cleaned cleaned and restocked and emptied before that's something that you do as well
and there's an option for people isn't there yeah we do that a lot especially during the summer
obviously you know you can't and stuff at weddings but that is you don't want to pay necessarily
the bigger unit or you may not have the size the space on the on the venue basically to have the
bigger unit so you may choose to have the smaller unit and then that accommodates that day and then in
the morning our driver will come and then you'll sort of pump out the toilet basically and then they
replenish all the toilet rolls the consumer balls make sure that they give it a clean make sure
the operation works really well still so and then you've got your fresh for the next day so
that's a more cost effective way as well so be fed sometimes it all depends on your numbers if
that makes sense so if you've got a larger if you've got a larger amount of numbers but you want
a smaller unit then it is is a bit more cost effective or rather than going up if that makes sense
like because obviously each trailer is got their own costs and then the service of the toilet trailer
depends on where you are what day you want that weekends obviously there will always be an extra
charge on weekends because obviously we've got to get somebody in to come and service but we've got
drivers and that's not an issue but yeah I think sometimes it will depends and a lot of the
times to be fair when I do quotes and if I know that somebody's having a longer wedding like over
a couple of days I give them the option so then you can have this big you know this is what you need
or you can have a smaller trailer but have a service or you know and they can decide what they want
to do I guess it's an aesthetics thing as well isn't it like if if you're having a weekend long
wedding but you're not in a huge area and you're in a nice formal gardens and you only need a
two plus one if it was a one day event you're going to want to have something that's more compact
than this great whopping trailer than two different trailers I mean party that I did was in a
thumb yard so we had like three toilets in an L shape at one end we have one set of toilets in
the car park in the field we had one set up was like in between like the two areas that they were
using yeah so the aesthetics like wasn't so important but definitely if you've got a beautiful
garden it might be nice to have the shepherd's hut one to see you for the day but then have them
cleaned for the next day instead of a yeah bigger or more exactly and the largest we do is the
three plus one on the shepherd's hut so if you're having a really large wedding and you want that
that kind of look in a toilet trailer basically you're not going to want a four plus two which
is a great big green trailer so you definitely something like that or like you said as well like
if you've got this kind of you know small kind of venue then you don't want this the larger
units so yeah it's a little bit more you know yeah the service kind of helps with all that kind of
issues basically and then you guys have attendance as well which is my favourite thing
yeah I'm not a toilet attendant not like we're not talking like a lady like you get in the clubs
which stands out so we don't bring the perfume and the lollies someone on site who understands
the facility yet and that will clean them and just check on them and make sure that everything is
okay in them is so beneficial so worth it yeah definitely I think as well like with the attendance
and stuff not a lot to be fair though and not a lot of weddings have the attendance but I do
think sometimes it's it's a good idea just to make sure that you're stocked up the toilet rolls
and you know you don't have to worry about it as if you think you're getting married the last
thing you want to or worry about is if the toilet rolls are stocked up on your day if there's
hand towels and you run out of hand soap like you know there's not what you want to do on your day
so if somebody is there doing that preprimium when we're there that's the kind of things that we
step up and do if you are having an at home wedding and it's on a budget you want someone to be there
to check those things because you're not going to they'll be going to you we've said the per you know
that they look for the person in the white dress yeah you know they might not even know who the
parents are necessarily whose home it is if the marquee is at their home to even go up to the
mother of the bride and say is there more toilet rolls you know where's the extra difficult
the past under the cubicle is actually yeah i definitely think for bigger events they're worth it
off any event but have you come across many mistakes that people make when booking or on the day
like what is a mistake that you see really often that you wish you could just vocalize
um i think going back to the numbers and capacity i think if you're more you know you may say
this is what i want or say for instance there's a lot there's a lot of couples kind of just ask for
like i want a two plus one which then you kind of go okay you're obviously wanting what you need
doesn't start chaining that's fine and then they then after they kind of or near near the wedding
they say actually the people are camping and now we're literally in the middle of summer peak season
i've got absolutely nothing in stock you know so that they're kind of the things that i feel like
people kind of go wrong a little bit especially if people if you're having like a really full day
like our wedding we typically say they're about 10 hours but if people are turning up in the morning
and they're not leaving until like midnight one o'clock that's an even longer time so a bit more
transparency i think would be brilliant i think that's the only issue that is actually gone wrong
as such if that makes sense there's nothing else i don't impossibly checking access as much as you
say you know this is you send the information but it is based it is on for the customer i can't go out
and have a look at the sites so it's for the customers it's double check that we can get on site
there's no issues and also making sure that we've got the right contact numbers if there's a
contact number for the venue that you need us to have then that'll be perfect because then
obviously we can then the A's with the venue rather than worrying about you know contacting you
if you're really if you know the final bits of your wedding plan in you don't want to be bothered
about how toilet trail is going to get in but we can contact the venue and then that'll be perfect
so they're the little things that i would suggest making sure that the couples know to do them kind
of bits basically i'm just going to add on to that i had a couple last year and they had a very
narrow brick gate and we needed to get i think the toilets weren't actually going in their four
days with delivering the toilets in the field but it was enough supply i needed to fit through and i
said you know will it fit like yeah yeah yeah should you know if i have you measured it and they're
like no so i they said it was fit but i didn't want to believe them it it did fit but i've made sure
i went and measured it but take measure because it was tight there was only about like five inches
each side which visually it's quite a close yeah i mean you're talking like to the wrong person
here who got an Arctic Laurie through a gate yes yes i mean it did take four hours but i do
it's important and to actually measure things as well because i know four jays and i'm sure other
toilet companies do the same but going back to the process of how you work obviously when i've
liaise to four jays before about bookings we've been sent like um like a configuration document
so it says like the height the clearance for the height the width the depth you know all of this
and like a little diagram of the configuration of the toilets which is really helpful for people
working out access and where the toilets are going yeah yeah every single quote that we send
we always have the pictures with the the sizing on them um obviously some information that
i need the electric and how many cubicles so it's all on there you know it is kind of for the couple
to check that obviously that will fit they are more than welcome to contact me if they're not sure
if they're a bit more like i need a bit more information another thing actually is that we can if
they're not too sure on access we can do come and do site visits team normally does the site
visit or we've got another um colleague Gary he'll come and do a site visit so sometimes it like
another thing that you kind of forget about if i have hanging trees yeah you kind of forget
that how tall they are so obviously over hanging trees we won't be able to go you know we don't
want to you know we don't want to ruin the trees and such you know we don't want to like break them
or anything like that or the toilet trailer so if anything like that if i'll drive with somebody
not sure ask for site visit and we come and just kind of double check and also it's kind of a good
thing for our drivers like especially team and Gary to have that liaison with the customer ready
team actually went to one yesterday to a site for me and i worried about over hanging trees and
they were absolutely fine but he already knew that that site was a little bit tricky to go to find
um so i'll see i'll make sure that he knows yeah it's got that delivery if that comes through if
that makes sense yeah so then he knows exactly where to go and it kind of is that that relationship
from the customer is there from the start so it's great yeah and then you don't want to take a
wrong turn doing a country lame of a huge toilet trailer on the back it just it just helps doesn't
it being prepared to like for the access and things yeah and especially with events like this
they are typically country roads they are typically narrow places because that's where they kind
of are like obviously venues are slightly different but most of the time it's people's homes in
fields and things like that it's a bit of the beaten track
So, Haley, tell us on the, you're not there on the day, but tell us one of your most memorable
sort of wedding events, maybe a funny story about when they've gone to Saap or fear our
past through wedding.
I think obviously memorable ones are quite hard because like they say, I'm not there.
So I, I can't see all that sort of kind of fun side as such, you know, I just do the
bookings behind the computer, but I think the main ones like wedding side, I think we
do a lot of the, the venues are lovely, so they're more memorable, they stick in my mind
a lot.
I think we do like a great barn, we definitely do nettle stead, which obviously is my, that's
my favourite because I'm getting married there this year.
So that's your problem.
So, that's the most important thing for you.
So, that's the most important thing.
So, that's the most important thing for you.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I've put my eye in from four days.
So, I think things like that memorable side is more like the venue.
Yeah, it's quite beautiful settings and yeah, absolutely.
I do like the fact that sometimes I can drive past and I'm in the countryside, and I drive
past and there's a toilet terminal, and they're even a wedding there, like, you know, so
that's how toilet.
Yeah.
So, I don't get any of the fun kind of stuff, sometimes to get, you know, the nice, you
know, the nice messages from the customers to say that you went all smoothly and they're
just really, yeah, and it's really lovely getting those.
So, they're the only bits that I have the memorable bits and the things really, not the
fun side.
I don't know about UEV, but I've certainly had a few memorable loomomes.
In fact, I've, we've had one together where I spent two hours in the back of that Lou trying
to fix it or whatever was going on at one of your weddings.
Yeah, that was.
I've had glasses down loose, just whole glasses that then blocked the toilet that you had
to, yet that we've, I thought the Lou was blocked and it wasn't until two of us were looking
at it in some moment.
No, no.
There's just a glass down there.
You were like, Oh, right, nothing else.
My own wedding, and we've obviously spoken about this bit of camera so it's not going to be
quite as funny now.
Someone took the poo directly behind the loose, was in the, we had a toilet trailer.
And directly behind the loose was poo with some Lou role on top.
We'd gone off on honeymoon and left my parents and the Lou company to come and they found
this.
And how, and we have spoken to you, I think every single person who attended our wedding
and still, to this day, do not know who the culprit was.
I don't think anyone's going to turn 12 years later.
Like, what do you ask your guests, to do a poo behind the toilet, you know?
No, no, no.
You know, and it's a comedy to up in conversation like this story now, we've literally just used it
as like a storyline.
Oh, my God, you'll never guess what happened.
There was a poo directly behind hoping that someone's facial turn bright red and that will
kind of give it away.
But it's not happening.
There was a very good podcast on Spotify that I listened to where a couple interview
a load of guests asked someone to put on the floor at their wedding.
And it is, it's the most hilarious podcast I've listened to.
So I highly recommend that one.
What is that just yours?
Oh, Kili, it's not.
It's Kili, a normal thing to be able to put on the floor of a wedding.
Well, what's the best part?
It's kind of normal.
That's...
It's being...
Being twisty odd.
Eh...
Sorry, Haley, you already worked four J's.
Can you just tell us a little bit about where four J's are placed, what area they cover,
things like that?
That's all very serious, now, isn't it?
No, it's not.
Me or two.
Sorry, Haley.
I'll ask you two.
Four J's are based, basically, or they're in Ken.
We've kind of...
Four J's is part of Heathcoke Holdings.
So they've got a hell of a lot of different, you know, companies, including all of that.
We come under their umbrella.
We've based our actual yard.
It's based in Madestown in Ken.
So our areas that we normally cover are Ken and Esasics.
We do sometimes go out to sort of West Sussex and that right on the edge.
We do it because if there's any breakdowns,
basically, we can get there quick enough.
If you're all the way, you know, North London, say, we're not going to be able to get...
By the time we get there, you already might be over it.
So we kind of make sure that the area is compact so that we can actually provide the best
service that we can possibly do, basically, and we can get anybody out there if we need
to.
Our drivers can get there.
So that's why we only really cover the Ken and Esasics area.
There are some exceptions, but that's the area that we normally do.
Amazing.
Some people get hold of 4Js, anyone Instagram, got a website, we'll put it all in the show
notes.
Okay.
So we got a website, which is 4Js, obviously, just Google 4Js or 4Js.com and then we also have
a Facebook page.
4Js, we also have a Facebook page.
Yeah.
F-O-U-R-J-A-Y-S.
That's it.
Not number four.
And then we got our Facebook page and we want to see the screen too.
Amazing.
Yeah.
As a simple put, all those in the show notes.
So people can get hold of you.
We like to end the episodes with a general top tip.
Now this is interesting, because you are obviously a bride to be as well.
So have you got any top tips, either that you've experienced personally or related to
toilets, showers, facilities, that you can share with our listeners?
My biggest top tip is to book well in advance.
That is my top top tip, because obviously I arranged my wedding last year.
So I know, obviously I know, well, with 4Js I'll be fine with the toilet trailer such and
my wedding is not too upside, which is the quietest sort of season.
Yeah.
But especially if you're having a summer wedding, get in there early, because then toilet
trailers will fly out the door really quickly and if you're trying to get a toilet trailer
a couple of weeks or a couple of months before, then you may not get the toilet trailer
that you particularly want or the day.
So especially if you've got a specific day for a delivery and collection, we can't always
guarantee that, but if you get in early, then they kind of, you know, first come first self
kind of thing.
So that is my top top tip.
That's a really good tip.
Thank you, Haley.
I mean, it's definitely not the most glamorous, but it is one of the most important parts of
the day.
Otherwise, you'll end up in my situation with people putting on the floor.
You still have to wait.
I so like that.
Yeah.
It's one of those.
Did you imagine how bad it would have been if there wasn't any?
Well, yeah.
Exactly.
So thank you so much, thank you for having me, thank you, and make sure that you are subscribing
all the way down loading, everything under the sun, please, so that we know how many of
We will see you next week.
you want to pull people so off the track.
