You can modify it for a workspace, use it for long-term archives, or secure your site tools. We stock both new and used units to suit your budget. - **New (One-Trip) Containers:** These units are manufactured in Asia and make a single journey to the UK. They are pristine, making them ideal for high-visibility locations such as schools or retail forecourts. - **Used Containers:** These have served in global trade. They show signs of wear, such as dents and surface rust, but remain wind and watertight. They are the cost-effective choice for industrial use. ![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 Container Sizes - **[20ft Containers](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/buy-containers/20ft-containers):** The industry standard.

Check our [Lewisham hire page](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/areas-covered/south/rental/storage-container-hire-lewisham) for availability. ## Security and Build Quality Security is critical. We build our containers from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion and withstands the British weather. It forms a protective layer that prevents rust from damaging the structure. To deter theft, we fit lock boxes to our containers. 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 Across Lewisham We deliver using 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 common in urban areas. 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. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Do I need planning permission in Lewisham? Temporary storage usually does not require permission. However, Lewisham Council has strict 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 [Lewisham planning department](https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/planning). #### 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. See our [20ft dimensions](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/container-dimensions/20ft-container-dimensions) and [40ft dimensions](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/container-dimensions/40ft-container-dimensions) pages. #### 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 units to ensure they are wind and watertight. We check door seals and panels to keep your goods dry.
