Dagenham is a centre of industry and logistics. From the historic Ford plant area to the new film studios and residential developments near the A13, secure storage is essential. Shipping Containers of London supplies robust steel containers to businesses, construction sites, and homeowners across the Barking and Dagenham borough.
We provide container hire and sales. Our team understands the local routes and access requirements, ensuring your unit arrives safely and fits your site perfectly.
Hiring is the flexible way to gain extra space without a large upfront cost. It suits short-term projects, renovations, or seasonal stock management. We offer rental periods starting from a minimum of eight weeks.
Our hire process is transparent. You pay a collection deposit before delivery, which covers the transport cost to return the unit when you finish. We supply clean, secure units ready for immediate use. Our fleet includes 20ft containers and 40ft units.
Security is critical for outdoor storage. We build our containers from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion and forms a protective surface layer that prevents rust from damaging the structure. It withstands the damp UK climate for years.
To deter theft, we fit lock boxes to our hire units. A lock box is a steel shroud that covers the padlock. It prevents thieves from using bolt cutters or pry bars to force entry. Combined with heavy-duty doors and rubber seals, your goods remain safe and dry.
Delivering to Dagenham requires planning. We use HIAB trucks equipped with hydraulic cranes. The driver lifts the container off the truck and places it on the ground. This allows us to position units over fences or into tight spaces.
You must prepare the site. The ground needs to be hard and level. Concrete, paving, or railway sleepers are suitable. Soft grass or soil will cause the truck to sink. You also need to check for overhead hazards. Tree branches and cables can block the crane arm. Read our delivery guidelines to prepare.
If you need storage for more than a year, buying is often cheaper than renting. You own the unit and can modify it to suit your needs. We stock new "one-trip" containers and used units. New units are pristine and ideal for visible locations. Used units are cost-effective for industrial use. See our Dagenham sales page for details.
Temporary storage usually does not require permission. However, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham has specific rules for conservation areas and permanent structures. If you plan to keep the container for a long time or use it as a workspace, you should check with the local planning department.
A 20ft container needs about 60ft of straight space for the truck to park and unload. A 40ft unit needs roughly 100ft. The crane extends from the side, so we also need width clearance. Check our transport page for diagrams.
Yes, if the road allows access for a large truck. We cannot block the road or lift containers over parked cars. If you live on a narrow street or a red route, tell us when you request a quote so we can plan the delivery.
Yes. We inspect all hire units to ensure they are wind and watertight. We check door seals and panels to keep your goods dry.
Jeremy and the Team were very easy to work with. extremely quick to respond to our needs and the overall delivery was spot on. The container supplied was brand new and exceptionally clean, ready for our items to be stored safely and securely.
What a totally, refreshingly, brilliant company to deal with. They do what they say they will do at a time they say they will do it. Completely up front about everything: quality, cost, delivery etc. Nothing hidden. They accommodate the customer as far as humanly possible and their communications are spot on. I wish more companies were like this one.
The service from this company was excellent. We were working to tight deadlines and Jeremy was incredibly prompt in his communication, from the initial quote to the follow up email, to check everything had been received. He phoned the haulier and arranged a delivery around our schedule and Andy (the driver), kept us informed, so we knew exactly when he was arriving.
A professional company, that I would recommend highly.
