Whether you operate a warehouse in Brimsdown, a retail unit in Enfield Town, or a construction site near the A10, secure storage is essential. Shipping Containers of London supplies durable steel containers directly to your site. We offer a full range of [containers for sale](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers). Buying a container gives you a permanent asset that you can modify, paint, or fit with shelving. We stock both new and used units to suit your budget and project requirements. ## New and Used Containers for Sale We sell containers in two main grades. Your choice depends on your budget and how you plan to use the unit. - **New (One-Trip) Containers:** These units have made a single journey from the factory. They are clean, dent-free, and come in standard colours like blue or green. They are the best choice for high-visibility sites or conversion projects. - **Used Containers:** These have spent years in global trade. They will have dents, scratches, and surface rust, but we guarantee they are wind and water-tight. They offer excellent value for secure, dry storage where aesthetics matter less. ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a storage area under a cloudy sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London9_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in various colors, with a muddy surface reflecting their vibrant hues.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London4_original.jpg) ![A blue shipping container stands in a yard surrounded by various colored containers under a clear blue sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London5_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in red and blue, set against a cloudy sky and greenery in the background.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London6_original.jpg) ![Three stacked shipping containers in vibrant colors, with a clear blue sky backdrop.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London7_original.jpg) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a yard under a blue sky, showcasing various textures and colors.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London8_original.jpg) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a storage area under a cloudy sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London9_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in various colors, with a muddy surface reflecting their vibrant hues.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London4_original.jpg) ![A blue shipping container stands in a yard surrounded by various colored containers under a clear blue sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London5_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in red and blue, set against a cloudy sky and greenery in the background.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London6_original.jpg) ![Three stacked shipping containers in vibrant colors, with a clear blue sky backdrop.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London7_original.jpg) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a yard under a blue sky, showcasing various textures and colors.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London8_original.jpg) ### Available Sizes and Types We hold stock of the most common ISO sizes: - **[20ft Containers](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers/20ft-containers):** The industry standard. Compact enough for most driveways but spacious enough for a 3-bedroom house move or site tools. - **[40ft Containers](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers/40ft-containers):** Ideal for large-scale storage. You get double the volume of a 20ft unit, perfect for palletised stock or machinery. - **Specialised Units:** We also supply [flat racks](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers/20ft-flat-rack) for awkward loads, [open tops](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers/20ft-open-top) for crane loading, and [refrigerated containers](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers/20ft-refrigerated) for temperature control. ## Built for Security and Durability A shipping container must withstand harsh weather and deter criminals. We ensure our units meet these demands. ### Corten Steel Construction We build our containers using Corten steel. This material resists corrosion by forming a protective surface layer when exposed to the elements. It prevents rust from compromising the structure, ensuring your container lasts for decades with minimal maintenance. We also apply marine-grade paint for added protection. ### Lock Boxes for Added Security Standard padlocks are vulnerable to bolt cutters. To prevent this, we fit lock boxes to our containers. A lock box is a steel shroud that encases the padlock and shackle, making it inaccessible to cutting tools or pry bars. Combined with heavy-duty doors and rubber seals, your contents remain secure and dry. ## Delivery to Enfield We deliver using HIAB trucks equipped with hydraulic cranes. This allows us to lift the container off the vehicle and place it precisely on your ground, even over fences or low walls. Our drivers know the Enfield area well and can navigate industrial estates and residential streets safely. You must prepare the site before we arrive. The ground must be hard and level, concrete, paving, or railway sleepers are ideal. Soft grass or soil will cause the truck to sink. You also need to check for overhead cables or branches that might block the crane arm. Read our full [delivery guidelines](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/delivery-guidelines) to prepare. ## Container Hire Options If you only need storage for a short time, hiring is a flexible alternative. We offer [container hire](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers) with a minimum term of just eight weeks. This is perfect for renovations, events, or seasonal stock peaks. Check our [Enfield hire page](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/areas-covered/north/rental/storage-container-hire-enfield) for availability. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Do I need planning permission for a shipping container in Enfield? It depends on the use and duration. Temporary storage often does not require permission, but permanent structures or offices might. If you are in a conservation area or near a listed building, rules are stricter. Check with the [Enfield Council planning department](https://www.enfield.gov.uk/services/planning) for advice specific to your property. #### How much space do I need for delivery? For a 20ft container, the truck needs about 60ft of straight space to park and unload. A 40ft unit requires closer to 100ft. The crane extends from the side, so we also need width clearance. See our [transport page](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/learn-more-about/container-transport) for diagrams. #### Can I inspect the container before buying? Yes. We can send you photos of the exact container you will receive. This is especially useful for used containers, so you can see the condition of the paint and panels before you commit. #### What if I have limited access? If your site has narrow gates or low bridges, let us know when you request a quote. We may be able to use a specific truck type or arrange a site survey to ensure delivery is possible.
