Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our temporary accommodation solutions

What are the requirements for installing an accommodation pod?

Our accommodation pods have three basic requirements for installation: sufficient space for delivery and placement (typically the size of a standard parking space), access to a working electrical supply via standard 13-amp plug sockets, and an external water source such as an outdoor tap. The pods are designed to connect to existing utilities with minimal modification to your property. If you don't have an outdoor tap, our installation team can install a temporary connection. For waste management, the pods can connect to your existing sewage system via an inspection cover, or we can provide septic tanks where necessary.

How quickly can an accommodation pod be delivered?

Swift can deliver and install accommodation pods anywhere in the UK mainland within three working days from confirmation of order. Our logistics network enables rapid deployment across the country, with our installation team handling all aspects of delivery, setup, and connection to utilities. The installation process typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the specific site conditions. For emergency situations, we may be able to arrange expedited delivery in certain regions - please discuss your specific timeline requirements with our accommodation specialists when placing your order.

What facilities are included in a kitchen pod?

Our kitchen pods measure approximately 11ft long by 6ft wide by 7ft high and include all essential amenities for daily meal preparation and dining. Each pod comes equipped with a refrigerator-freezer, washing machine, microwave, rapid-heating water system, induction cooking equipment, and a dining table with chairs. Safety features include fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and smoke alarms. The pods are designed for convenient functionality with easy-to-use appliances and clear operating instructions. Additional kitchen equipment packs with cookware, utensils, and dinnerware are available upon request.

What facilities are included in a bathroom pod?

Our bathroom pods measure approximately 8ft 2" long by 7ft 2" wide by 7ft high and provide complete bathroom functionality. Each unit includes a modern push-button flush toilet, a full shower enclosure, a ceramic washbasin, heated towel rail, storage space, and a dressing table with illuminated mirror and electrical outlets. The pods feature anti-slip flooring for safety, proper ventilation systems, and a 90-liter water heater for consistent hot water supply. The bathroom units are designed with user comfort in mind, offering a practical and private solution during home restoration periods.

How are the accommodation pods powered and heated?

Our accommodation pods operate on standard household electricity via 13-amp plugs connected to your property's existing electrical system. This eliminates the need for gas bottles or specialized power sources. Kitchen pods require two 13-amp connections, while bathroom pods need just one. The electrical systems are designed for efficiency and safety, with appropriate circuit protection. Water heating in both pod types is provided by electric immersion heaters that typically warm water in 5-10 minutes. Bathroom pods include a heated towel rail for comfort and to assist with maintaining a comfortable ambient temperature.

What support is provided after the pod is installed?

Swift provides comprehensive ongoing support throughout your use of our accommodation pods. Upon installation, you'll receive a complete welcome pack with detailed user guides for all included appliances and systems, troubleshooting information, and emergency contact details. Our dedicated support team is available to address any questions or concerns that may arise during your use of the pod. For technical issues, we offer rapid response maintenance services to ensure minimal disruption to your temporary accommodation. When restoration of your property is complete, our team will handle all aspects of pod removal, typically within three working days of your request.
