Using the right terminology

Sometimes a modular building or portable building is called “a portacabin” by the public, however this is incorrect, and in fact, is an infringement of trademark. If you would like to sell a Modular Building or Portable Cabin / Jack Leg Cabin on our website you must not call it ‘a Portakabin or Portacabin’ unless it is made by Portakabin Ltd. Please describe this type of building as a Modular Building, Jack Leg Building, Portable Cabin or Portable Building or use its last use e.g. Portable Office, Modular Classroom, Canteen Unit, Toilet Block Cabin etc… If you are unclear as to the correct description please contact us below.
