Rent Storage Containers in Lewisham

Container Hire Services

Hiring is a flexible way to get extra space. It suits short-term projects like home renovations or seasonal stock storage for retailers. You avoid the capital cost of buying and can return the unit when you finish.

Our hire terms are simple. We require a minimum rental period of eight weeks. You pay a collection deposit upfront to cover the cost of returning the container to our depot. We supply 20ft containers and 40ft units ready for immediate use.

Types of Containers for Hire

• Standard Storage: Our most common units. Wind and watertight, secure, and clean.
• Refrigerated Containers: Essential for catering businesses or cold chain logistics.
• Open Top Containers: These have a removable roof for loading heavy items with a crane.
• Flat Racks: For oversized cargo that won't fit through standard doors.

Security and Construction

A container must protect your goods from theft and the weather. We build our units from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion and forms a protective layer that stops rust from damaging the structure. It stands up to the British climate for decades.

To stop thieves, we fit lock boxes to our containers. A lock box is a steel shroud that covers the padlock. It prevents access for bolt cutters or pry bars. Combined with heavy-duty doors and rubber seals, your tools and stock remain safe and dry.

Delivery Across Lewisham

We deliver using HIAB trucks. These vehicles have an onboard crane to lift the container off the bed and place it on the ground. This allows us to position units over low fences or into tight yard spaces.

You must prepare the site. The ground must be hard and level, such as concrete, paving, or railway sleepers. Soft grass or soil will cause the truck to sink. You also need to check for overhead hazards, such as cables or tree branches. Read our 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 asset 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 cheaper and perfect for rugged industrial use. See our Lewisham sales page for details.
