We have been designing, making and installation composting toilets since 2005. The first compost toilet we built was for our wedding guests, up a mountain in the Snowdonia National Park where we live in Mid Wales. Our compost loo designs have evolved over the years and been tried and tested by ourselves on our small Welsh smallholding. We know that the toilets work well and survive the harshest of UK weather conditions, but you don't have to take it just from us; below is a long list of testimonials from our composting toilet customers over the years
