Shipping Containers in Southampton

Unbeatable delivery rates to the South West

Containers Direct are keen to offer the best value rates for delivery anywhere in the UK.

We believe it is unnecessary to pay for an expensive cross country delivery when we can find a way to organise a much more local journey, and pass these saving s on to our customers. We do this by teaming up with container supplier depots across the country, and sourcing the best value containers for our individual customer's requirements, direct from their nearest supplier depot. We've added to our growing list of supplier depots by teaming up with Southampton docks, to offer the best value containers in Southampton at the lowest delivery rates for our customers based in the South West. We have a number of great condition containers ready for dispatch from the depot now.

20ft x 56ft open plan welfare office - CS112525

Case study of the month

March 2026

20ft x 56ft open plan welfare office - CS112525

This modern welfare office block is constructed from our CTX self-assembly range, using 20ft x 8ft modular units, joined together and stacked over two floors. We needed a total of 14 units to achieve a total length of 56ft, in order to accommodate separate areas of space for a canteen area, toilets and an open plan office. The upper floor is accessed by an internal staircase, with another fitted externally as a fire escape. Our client Liverpool City Council, required this office and welfare construction for their refuse wagon management facility.

Our Case Studies

Cut down containers for a more choice

For a wider choice of sizes of storage containers in Southampton we have a selection of cut down containers. These are made from standard 20ft and 40ft shipping containers and modified to produce conveniently sized storage containers with additional features to improve the use of the container as a storage unit. For instance, our supply of 10ft containers in Southampton are particularly popular with schools and clubs, and have been made more user friendly with the addition of light weight easy to operate doors. Shipping container doors are notorious for being heavy, which is fine for an overseas journey, but for frequent access to the container these doors can be a little off putting! See our S1 10ft storage container for a great example from our range of cut down storage containers located in Southampton.

Optional extras

All our shipping container are offered with a choice of upgrades to help you get the best from your container. One of our padlocks can give your container top levels of security, ply lining will eliminate condensation, while wood cladding will give an attractive finish and can work around potential planning permission requirements. For shipping containers used as a conversion projects we can make multiple adaptations from our list of optional extras. For instance office containers require windows, a personnel door and ply lining. Find out more about the different types of shipping container conversions we offer.
