You need a bespoke conversion. CS Containers' specialism is in-house conversions — offices, classrooms, welfare units, cafés. If you need more than a plain container, Phil has 30 years of conversion work behind him.
You want direct personal service. Phil picks up the phone himself. He knows what stock he has, what condition it's in, and what it'll cost to deliver to your site. No layers between you and the decision-maker.
You want the benefit of 30 years of sourcing contacts. Phil's direct relationships in the trade mean he can often find the right container at a price that undercuts what a more sales-focussed operation can offer.
Phil's honest take: if Bell's yard is geographically closer to your delivery site and they have the stock you need in the right condition, local proximity can be a deciding factor for fast delivery. That said, Phil's sourcing contacts mean he can often match or beat on price for any Kent delivery. Get quotes from both and compare directly.
Both are legitimate Kent operators. Bell Container is an established local supplier offering standard sales and hire. CS Containers offers the same core services plus in-house conversion capability and the personal service that comes from dealing directly with Phil.
For modifications or bespoke work, CS Containers is the specialist. For straight sales or hire where it's purely about price and logistics, compare quotes from both. Call Phil on 020 8226 0007 — he'll give you a straight answer.
