# Shipping Containers in Gillingham

You need secure storage in Gillingham. Whether you manage a construction site in Medway, run a retail business at Hempstead Valley, or need temporary space for a home renovation, we have the answer. Shipping Containers of London supplies secure, weather-proof steel containers to businesses and homes across the ME7 and ME8 postcodes.

We sell and hire shipping containers to suit your project. You can buy a permanent unit or rent one for as little as eight weeks. Our team handles the entire process, from helping you choose the right size to delivering it precisely where you need it using our crane-equipped trucks.

 ## Buy Shipping Containers in Gillingham

Buying a container gives you a permanent asset. It is often cheaper and faster than building a brick structure. We stock both new “one-trip” containers and used units. New containers look smarter and last longer, making them ideal for sites where appearance matters. Used containers offer a lower price point for rugged, functional storage.

We check every container before dispatch. We guarantee they are wind and watertight, so your tools, stock, or machinery stay dry.

  ## Security and Durability

Your container must withstand the UK weather and deter theft. We build our units from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion by forming a protective surface layer. It is tough enough to survive years of outdoor use.

For security, we fit lock boxes to our containers. A lock box is a steel shroud that covers your padlock. It stops thieves from using bolt cutters or crowbars to break in. Combined with heavy-duty doors and rubber seals, your contents remain safe and dry.

  ## HIAB Delivery in Gillingham

We deliver using HIAB trucks. These vehicles have an onboard crane that lifts the container from the truck bed to the ground. This allows us to place units over fences or into tight corners.

You must prepare the site. The truck needs hard, level ground to park and extend its stabiliser legs. The delivery spot must be flat to ensure the container doors open easily. Avoid soft grass or mud, as the heavy vehicle will sink. Check our [delivery guidelines](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/delivery-guidelines) to make sure your site is ready.

  ## Frequently Asked Questions

#### Do I need planning permission for a container in Gillingham?

Temporary storage often does not need permission, but permanent structures usually do. If you plan to keep the container for a long time or use it for a business, rules may apply. Check with the [Medway Council planning department](https://www.medway.gov.uk/info/200133/planning) to be sure.

#### How quickly can you deliver?

We often deliver within a few days of your order, depending on stock levels and truck availability. If you have an urgent deadline, please tell us when you enquire.

#### What access do you need?

A 20ft container delivery truck is about 35ft long and 9ft wide. A 40ft delivery requires a larger articulated vehicle. We also need overhead clearance for the crane arm. Review our [transport page](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/learn-more-about/container-transport) for specific clearance diagrams.

#### Can I inspect the container before buying?

We can provide photos of the specific unit you are buying. Our used containers are sold “wind and watertight,” meaning they are structurally sound and weather-proof.
