Container Sales
Buying a container provides a permanent asset. We offer new and used units for sale in Hammersmith, suitable for modification or static storage.
Condition Grades
- New (One-Trip): These units make one journey from the factory in China to the UK. They arrive in excellent condition with minor handling marks. They feature a factory-fitted lockbox and look smart on visible sites.
- Used (Wind and Watertight): These containers have been used on global shipping lines. We inspect them to ensure they are weatherproof and structurally sound. They will have dents, surface rust, and shipping logos, but they offer excellent value for secure storage.

Build Quality and Security
Shipping containers are built to protect cargo during sea voyages. This construction makes them the most secure form of portable storage available.
Corten Steel
We use containers manufactured from Corten steel. This alloy resists corrosion by forming a protective surface layer when exposed to the elements. It ensures the container remains strong and secure for decades, even in damp UK weather.
Security Features
To protect your goods, our containers include:
- Lockboxes: A steel cowl welded over the padlock area. This stops thieves from accessing the padlock with bolt cutters or drills.
- 27mm Plywood Flooring: Marine-grade flooring treated to resist rot and pests. It withstands heavy loads, including forklifts.
- Heavy Doors: Full-width doors with cam-locking gear seal the unit against wind and rain.
Delivery to Hammersmith
We deliver using HIAB trucks equipped with an onboard crane. The driver lifts the container from the truck bed to the ground alongside the vehicle.
Access in Hammersmith
Hammersmith presents specific challenges with red routes, narrow residential streets, and parking zones. The delivery truck (approx. 30ft to 60ft long, depending on container size) needs:
- Hard Standing: The ground must be concrete, paved, or compacted hard core. We cannot lift containers onto grass or soft soil as they will sink and rack (twist).
- Width and Height: We need a 10ft-wide truck and clear overhead space, free of cables or trees, for the crane arm.
For sites near the A4 or busy high streets, you may need to arrange parking bay suspensions. Check our delivery guidelines for full details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a container in Hammersmith?
Containers are often considered temporary structures. However, Hammersmith and Fulham has strict rules, especially in conservation areas or for long-term placement. You generally do not need permission for short-term use on private land, but we strongly advise checking with the Hammersmith & Fulham planning department before you order.
Can you place a container on the road?
No. We can only offload containers onto private land. Placing a container on a public highway requires a council license, which is rarely granted for shipping containers. You must have a driveway, yard, or car park that can accommodate the delivery truck.
What if the delivery truck cannot access my site?
We use Google Maps and site photos to assess access before delivery. If a standard HIAB cannot reach your location, we may need to arrange a mobile crane for a longer lift, which will increase costs. Contact us to discuss your specific access constraints.

Amazing Service
Jeremy and the Team were very easy to work with. extremely quick to respond to our needs and the overall delivery was spot on. The container supplied was brand new and exceptionally clean, ready for our items to be stored safely and securely.
What a refreshing experience
What a totally, refreshingly, brilliant company to deal with. They do what they say they will do at a time they say they will do it. Completely up front about everything: quality, cost, delivery etc. Nothing hidden. They accommodate the customer as far as humanly possible and their communications are spot on. I wish more companies were like this one.
20' x 8' Container Delivery
The service from this company was excellent. We were working to tight deadlines and Jeremy was incredibly prompt in his communication, from the initial quote to the follow up email, to check everything had been received. He phoned the haulier and arranged a delivery around our schedule and Andy (the driver), kept us informed, so we knew exactly when he was arriving.
A professional company, that I would recommend highly.
