How much does a container office cost?

From £5,000 for a basic 20ft fitted office. The final price depends on size and specification — insulation, number of windows, electrics, and any extras such as air conditioning or a kitchenette. Call Phil for a fixed price based on exactly what you need.

Do container offices need planning permission?

Temporary use — typically under 28 days or in certain circumstances — may be exempt from planning permission. For permanent or longer-term structures you'll need to check with your local planning authority. Phil can advise based on your intended use and location.

How long does it take to build a container office?

Typically 3–6 weeks from order to delivery, depending on specification and current workload. Phil confirms your lead time when he quotes.

Can a container office be connected to mains power?

Yes. All offices are wired and ready to connect to your mains supply. You'll need a qualified electrician to make the site connection — the container itself arrives with consumer unit, sockets, and LED lighting already fitted.

Is a container office insulated?

Yes. All CS Containers office builds include insulation — walls, floor, and roof — to keep the space warm in winter and cool in summer. We use Kingspan or equivalent rigid insulation board as standard.
