Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
A container purchase is usually economically and environmentally sustainable. It's often cheaper than building a house, and you can move from lorry-to-work area in a matter of days.
We offer new and used shipping containers. Our used containers are typically 9-14 years old with some scratches, scuffs and dents but in good condition.
Storage
Storage units are an excellent solution for those who need to reduce space or protect expensive items from the elements. Often the choice is between purchasing a brand new container or a second hand one. It's important to note that a lot of new containers are offered in flat packs, which means you'll save on delivery costs and cut down on assembly time. In this configuration they're still durable and secure, as well as portable for man. They're also available in standard 20ft height and 40ft high cubes and can be joined to create larger storage areas.
Many people believe that second-hand containers for modal have been damaged beyond repair. It's not the case. The majority of our used storage containers have a long time of service remaining and are in good structural condition. They do not have major rust or holes.
Containers Direct works with a network of containers that are of high quality in the UK. They are able to provide an array of sizes of containers and lengths, including custom lengths. Before leaving the depot, the containers are examined to ensure they are watertight, don't have large holes or dent and that their doors work. They are of premium quality and are an excellent choice for both businesses and homeowners.
Shipping containers are a versatile and durable product which can be reused many times over their lifetime. They can be used as storage units, but more and more people choose to customise the containers after purchase in order to maximise their potential. Some of the more popular uses include the garden shed as well as a home gym, or a workshop for storing machinery and tools.
Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end of their working life, but it is more environmentally friendly to reuse them and keep these valuable steel pieces as long as feasible. This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and minimize the need to further harm the environment by recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are restaurants that serve drinks and food. Their cosy, informal environments and flexible hours of operation make them popular. Cafes, in contrast to restaurants, tend to offer casual meals like sandwiches and lighter meals. They can also have art exhibits and other cultural events that encourage community engagement. The term is different from the neutral "Coffee Shop", which has a more enduring meaning both in Australia and the UK.
Offices
You can do whatever you would like with a container that you own (unlike when you rented one). Many of our clients choose to personalize their containers after they have purchased them. This could be as simple as painting, or as intricate as adding walls inside and heating. Some even transform them into recording studios or swimming pools!
