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. ## Delivery in Dagenham 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](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/delivery-guidelines) to prepare. ## Buy Shipping Containers 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](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/areas-covered/east/sales/shipping-container-sales-dagenham) for details. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Do I need planning permission in Dagenham? 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](https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control). #### How much space do I need for delivery? 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](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/learn-more-about/container-transport) for diagrams. #### Can you deliver to residential streets? 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. #### Are the containers waterproof? Yes. We inspect all hire units to ensure they are wind and watertight. We check door seals and panels to keep your goods dry.
