Check our [West London rental options](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/areas-covered/west/rental) for availability near you. ## Security and Build Quality Shipping containers must be tough. We use Corten steel containers. This steel resists corrosion and withstands the British weather. It forms a protective rust layer that prevents more serious damage. Security is critical. Most of our units come with a lock box. This steel shroud covers your padlock, protecting it from bolt cutters and pry bars. If you store valuable tools or stock, this feature adds essential protection. ## Delivery in Brent We deliver using HIAB trucks. These vehicles have an onboard crane that lifts the container off the truck and places it on your site. This allows us to position units with precision, even in tight urban spaces. You must prepare your site before we arrive. The ground must be hard and level. Concrete, paved surfaces, or railway sleepers work well. Soft grass or soil is not suitable as the truck or container may sink. We also need clear access for the truck. Please check for overhead cables or branches. Read our full [delivery guidelines](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/delivery-guidelines) to prepare. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Do I need planning permission for a shipping container in Brent? It depends on how you use it and how long it stays. Temporary storage often does not require permission, but permanent structures or offices might. We cannot give legal advice. You should check directly with the [Brent Council planning department](https://www.brent.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning) to be sure. #### How much space do I need for delivery? The truck needs room to park and extend its stabiliser legs. A 20ft container delivery usually requires about 60ft of straight-line space. A 40ft unit needs roughly 100ft. The crane also needs overhead clearance. Review our [dimensions page](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/container-dimensions) for exact measurements. #### Can you deliver to a residential street? Yes, if access allows. The road must be wide enough for a large truck. We cannot lift containers over parked cars or public footpaths without permits. If your street is narrow or has restrictions, tell us when you request a quote. #### Are the containers waterproof? Yes. We guarantee our containers are wind and watertight. However, condensation can form inside any steel box if temperatures change significantly. We recommend ensuring good ventilation or using moisture traps when storing sensitive items like fabrics or paper.
