Quality used storage grade containers:
Used 20ft shipping containers in London are the best value for money. Between around 15 -20yrs old before they are retired from shipping goods, used containers will be showing plenty of signs of wear and tear and surface rust, but are sold structurally sound, watertight and with a 12 month warranty. 40ft shipping containers in London give you double the length for storage space, without doubling the price!
Repainting The appearance of used shipping containers can be vastly improved by respraying with a life-extending coat rubberised marine paint.
New shipping containers for storage:
New shipping containers in London are categorised as "one trip" containers, as they will have only made one import journey to arrive in the UK with goods. They show only a small amount of wear and tear from handling and make excellent dry storage containers, able to withstand heavy loads. Made from the toughest grade of weathering steel (Corten) they are theft and vandal proof.

20ft Cladded Garden Room – CS54207
It's hard to believe this building started out as a used 20ft shipping container! With patio-style doors, interior wood lining, and exterior cladding, it's both stylish and functional. Designed as a split-space layout for storage and leisure, this build shows how a container can transform into a modern garden room or workspace.

Optional Extras
Other sizes
Although regular sized 20ft and 40ft containers are the best value to buy, these sizes do not fit all, therefore we also supply irregular sixed containers - anything from 5ft upwards! If you can't find the exact container size you're looking for, we have our own on site workshops, which specialse in cutting and adapting standard sized shipping containers to give a wider range of choice to our customers.
