What is a container storage fit-out?

It's a shipping container converted into a purpose-built storage unit for your site. Phil fits out the interior to your spec — shelving, racking, secure lockboxes, lighting, ventilation — and delivers it ready to use by HIAB. It's a steel storage room that arrives in one piece and can be moved if needed.

Is this the same as self-storage?

No. Phil builds bespoke storage containers for businesses to own or hire on their own site. This is not public self-storage where you rent a unit by the month. Your container is delivered to your premises and stays there for as long as you need it.

Do I need planning permission for a storage container on my site?

For temporary use — typically under 28 days or in certain commercial circumstances — planning permission is often not required. For longer-term or permanent placement you'll need to check with your local planning authority. Phil can advise based on your intended use and location.

What sizes are available for storage conversions?

Phil works with 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft containers as the base for storage fit-outs. The 20ft is the most popular for tool storage and parts storage. Larger builds on 40ft units can include multiple racking bays and separate secure areas. Call Phil to discuss your requirements.
