Second-hand Portakabin buildings and cabins

When you need permanent-quality new buildings, for any application, there’s no more cost-effective, fast and quality-assured solution than buying a refurbished pre-owned modular building from Foremans.

Foremans holds a vast range of pre-owned self-contained portable cabins, including the largest stock of second-hand cabins from Portakabin in the UK.

Cost-effective buildings completed 70% faster than new build

Constructing your building from recycled second-hand modules is a highly sustainable alternative to new build – enabling your building to be completed up to 70% faster. That means minimal disruption to your site and a faster return on your investment.

Modular buildings fully refurbished to meet all permanent building regulations

As part of the industry-leading Portakabin Group, Foremans supplies high-quality steel-framed buildings. Your second-hand modular building will be fully refurbished and fitted out to your specifications, to comply with all permanent building regulations.

Stand-alone cabins, multi-storey buildings – and everything in between

Foremans offers the UK’s largest stock of pre-owned Portakabin buildings, ranging from single self-contained cabins in a range of sizes to versatile modular building systems that enable you to create buildings of any size, up to three storeys, or any configuration and for any number of people.

Fully equipped buildings for every application

Whatever type of building you need, Foremans can supply it, from offices, classrooms and health centres to laboratories, canteens, changing rooms and much more. Your building will be fully fitted out with everything you need, from air conditioning and security alarms to carpets, lifts and a host of other interior and exterior options.

An on-time, on-budget delivery promise you can trust

Not only will your building project be completed quickly, it will also be finished on time and on budget. That’s the promise we make in our unique Customer Charter. To back it up, we even promise that in the unlikely event we ever fail to deliver on time, we will refund 1% of the contract value for every week the project is delayed.¹ This, combined with our track record of delivering 99% of buildings on time and on budget, gives you complete assurance that we’ll deliver your building exactly when you need it.²

Quality-assured buildings backed by comprehensive warranty cover

To assure you of the quality and structural integrity of our refurbished Portakabin buildings, we will provide you with a 3-year product warranty – covering the external fabric, and a 10-year structural warranty – covering the structural, load-bearing elements.
