Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission?
Usually not. Most containers are considered temporary structures. However, always check with your local council if it’s long-term or in a conservation area.
What’s the difference between standard and high-cube containers?
High cube containers are 1ft taller (9ft 6in vs 8ft 6in). Great for bulky items or when you need extra headroom.
How long is the delivery?
Typically 3–5 working days from order confirmation. Custom modifications may add lead time.
Can I customise a container?
Yes, if buying. We can add doors, windows, electrics, and more. Hire containers have limited modification options.
Are hire containers insured?
Not by default. You’ll need to arrange insurance for the container and its contents while on hire.
What surface does the container need?
A flat, firm surface like concrete, paving or compact gravel. We recommend raising the corners with timber or concrete pads.
