What is the minimum hire period?

Our minimum hire period is 4 weeks. We also offer week-by-week hire for short construction projects. Longer contracts get preferential rates — call Phil to discuss.

Is collection included at the end of the hire?

What sizes are available for hire?

We hire 20ft and 40ft standard containers, 20ft and 40ft high cube, and converted office units. Stock varies — call Phil on 020 8226 0007 for current availability in your area.

Can I hire a converted container office?

Yes. We have converted office containers available for hire — fitted with insulation, LED lighting, power sockets, and a personnel door. Ideal for site offices, pop-up retail, or temporary workspace.

Do I need to insure the container during the hire period?

You are responsible for insuring the container against fire, theft, and accidental damage during the hire. Most business and site insurance policies cover hired equipment — check your policy. Phil can advise on what's typically required.

What if the container is damaged on site during the hire?

Phil offers on-site repair UK-wide — door hinges, lock boxes, dents, rust, vandalism damage are all fixable where the container sits, no need to return the unit to Phil's workshop. See the mobile/on-site repair page for scope. The repair is quoted separately from the hire.

"So easy! We bought 2 new containers to house delicate equipment in, and are renting another older one for storage while we have our kitchen extension built. We were worried about access, but Phil sent someone round to check and make sure we could get them where we wanted them. Top job and no worries!"
