A dedicated practice space or home studio that won't disturb the neighbours. Phil builds it to your spec and delivers UK-wide.
A shipping container is a genuinely good starting point for a music studio. The heavy-gauge steel shell gives you acoustic mass straight away. From there, you layer in insulation, acoustic lining, a floating floor, and ventilation — and you end up with a space where you can practise or record without the neighbours hearing every note.
Phil builds the container structure and fits insulation and acoustic lining to your specification. He is not an acoustic engineer. For a professional recording studio where you need precise acoustic targets — specific RT60 times, isolation figures in dB — we'd recommend getting an acoustic consultant involved before finalising the spec. For a home practice space, band rehearsal room, or home recording setup, Phil's builds work very well.
For the best acoustic results, Phil recommends starting with a new one-trip container — the tighter seals and cleaner interior make acoustic treatment more effective. Grade A used containers also convert very well.
Conversions start from £5,000 on top of the base container price. Call 020 8226 0007 to talk through your project.
Honest note on acoustic performance
Phil builds to your specification. For professional recording studios with precise acoustic targets, we recommend consulting an acoustic engineer before finalising the spec. For home practice rooms, band rehearsal spaces, and home recording setups, Phil's builds work very well — and he'll be straight with you about what a given spec will and won't achieve.
20ft
6m long, 2.4m wide, 2.6m high. Home practice room, solo recording setup, or small band rehearsal space.
40ft
12m long. Room to partition into a control room and live room, or a full band rehearsal space with amps and a drum kit.
Tell Phil what you're trying to achieve — what you play, how much isolation you need, what size space you're after — and he'll quote the build in writing. No guesswork, no surprises.
No call centres. No fuss. One phone call.
