Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
Containers are often a good investment both environmentally and financially. It's often cheaper than building a house, and you can move from lorry-to-work location in just a few days.
We offer both new and used shipping containers. Our used containers are usually 9-14 years old with some scuffs, scratches and dents but in good shape.
Storage
Storage units are a great solution for those who need to reduce space or shield expensive items against the elements. Often the choice is between purchasing a new container or an old one. Many new containers come flat-packed, which can reduce the time to delivery and assembly. They're still strong, secure and man portable in this format. They are also available in standard height 20ft or 40ft high cube options and are able to be joined to create larger storage spaces.
Many people believe that second-hand modal containers are damaged beyond repair. This is not true. The majority of our used storage containers have years of use left in them and are in a good structural condition, with no major holes or rust damage.
Containers Direct works with a network of containers that are of high quality in the UK. They can offer a wide range of sizes for containers and lengths, including custom lengths. Before leaving the depot, the containers are inspected to ensure that they are watertight, have no large holes or dents and that their doors work. These are top quality containers and are an excellent choice for homeowners and businesses alike.
Shipping containers are a versatile and durable product that can be used numerous times over the course of their life. They can be sold as storage units but increasing numbers of people opt to customise the containers after purchase to maximize their potential. Some of the most sought-after uses are an outdoor shed, a home gym or an workshop to store tools and machinery.
Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end of their lifespan, but it is much more sustainable to reuse them and keep these precious steel pieces in use as long as feasible. This can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and limit the need to further harm the environment by recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are restaurants serving drinks and food. They are popular due to their relaxed, cozy atmospheres and the flexibility of their operating hours. Cafes, unlike restaurants, tend to serve casual food like sandwiches and lighter meals. Art exhibits and other cultural activities may be held to promote community involvement. The term is different from the sterile "Coffee Shop" which has a more enduring meaning both in Australia and the UK.
Offices
When you purchase a container (unlike renting one) you own it to do whatever you want with. After buying their containers, many of our customers choose to personalize them. This could be as simple as painting, or as complex as installing internal walls and heating. Some even turn them into swimming pools or recording studios!

We carry out a thorough inspection on every one of our second-hand containers before they leave our depots. We ensure that they are wind and water tight, that there aren't any large rusty areas or holes, and that the doors are in good working order. We also test their structural soundness and whether they can be able to withstand a voyage over the high seas.
The majority of our used containers are in good condition and we only sell a tiny portion of the bottom 10% of our inventory. Buying second-hand can save you money and the environment.

Additionally, you'll be reusing an item that's traveled through the high seas and could be a durable construction material throughout its time on the ship fleet.
