Site Storage Containers

If you need containers for on-site storage, we can supply standard length new and used shipping containers, and if you require a special length container, why not consider having us produce a refurbished container? All our containers are professionally inspected and repaired when required and come with our 12-month wind & watertight guarantee for peace of mind.

Most of our depots have the capability to undertake container refurbishment and can produce a custom container to match your requirements. Some examples of our custom work include installing high-security personnel doors, security windows, roller shutters, electrics, ply-lining and insulation. So, whether you require a standard container for storage use, a site or garden based office through to a chemical or paint store, we can help.

We have a nationwide network of delivery vehicle that includes crane equipped (Hiab) vehicle that are able to off-load and position your container. If you're looking for containers that you intend to use to set-up a self-storage facility, our new shipping containers are the ideal solution.

Our refurbished shipping containers are ideal for anyone wanting a specific length of container with easier opening doors, and we can provide these with an external re-paint in a RAL colour of your choice.

Export Spec (CSC plated) Shipping Containers

With a wide range of both new and used export specification containers available nationwide, we usually have good local stocks of 20ft and 40ft containers ready to move within 24-hours. Every container we supply will have been inspected and professionally repaired to the correct standard for export use and where required given a valid CSC plate. New containers are sold with a 4 to 5-year valid CSC plate. And, our used range will be supplied with a CSC plate that's valid for 6 to 12 months.

Shipping lines will only accept containers with valid CSC plates and all repairs undertaken in our depot are done professionally so the container can be re-certified with a valid CSC plate. The CSC plate shows the container conforms to all requirements to allow for safe lifting and stacking when being transported.

For anyone new to shipping containers around the world, we can offer help and support for a full VAT reclaim on any container that's shipped outside of the EU and whilst we don't offer deep shipping services, we would be happy to recommend some of our regular customers who do provide these services.

For anyone wanting to live load and move their container to a port ready for shipping, our 'live load' service is ideal. We'll arrange to bring the container to you on the back of a trailer and wait whilst it's loaded (the container remains on the vehicle) or we can offer a live load service where we off-load the container and wait whilst it's being loaded. This is ideal for loading cars, machinery or household moves. Or, if you prefer to have more time, we can drop the container and return to collect it when you've finished loading it.

In addition to the above, our container range includes Tank Containers, Flat Pack Containers, Cladded Office Containers, Quick Build Containers, Galvanised Containers, Biomass Containers and Refrigerated Shipping Containers.

Accessories

Our extensive range of shipping container accessories includes items to improve container security such as padlocks, lock boxes and even shipping container alarms! If you're having a container converted for use as a site office, our personnel doors include a 10-point locking system and our shipping container windows include one that features a security shutter. We offer condensation prevention products that offer short and long-term protection for your goods. We also ply-line and insulate containers, install electrics (lights, heaters sockets, etc.), internal partitions with and without integral doors, roller shutters (both manual and electric) plus a range of other really useful products such as our shelving kits and pipe storage racks.

Shipping Container Canopies

We've recently added a range of shipping container canopies. These are mounted on top of shipping containers and can be used to create additional workshop space, bus depots, additional storage space to meet spikes in demand such as the run up to Christmas. They can also be used to create a cost-effective aircraft hangar. The canopies can be stripped down and moved to another location as and when required. So, this a really flexible solution when you need something that typically won't require planning permission and one that can be erected in a matter of days.

Joe Parker,

Recently purchased a used 20ft shipping container from budget shipping containers. Very happy with the service. I dealt with Kelsie from the sales team and she was very helpful and answered all questions throughout the ordering process. Shall be using budget shipping containers again in the near future to get myself another 20ft container. Thanks joe

Dave Walker,

Excellent from start to finish. Dealt with Nikita and all felt very personal. The doors on the side were expensive but totally worth it. The delivery was well thought out and planned too. A day later than planned initially but communication was excellent throughout. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Owlsbury Accident Repair Centre,

This is the second container I have purchased from budget Containers and I am very please with the service I got. From initial enquire to delivery Kelsie was always prompt with a reply to my questions. The delivery was perfect in such a tight location. Thank you.

James Ratcliffe,

Purchased a container from these guys; it was very straightforward. The service and communication were great. Driver was very helpful, even though the installation was in quite a tight spot. Would thoroughly recommend.

Julie Smith (M.S Commerical Services),

Saffy has been super helpful sorting our container for us. Quotes were sent through straight away and she kept us updated on delivery. Prices were also very competitive and sale was left completely to us, not pushy what so ever. Delivery driver was very helpful too even when we had an unexpected road closure on the morning of the delivery. Would recommend Budget Shipping Containers and would use them again if we need another in the future.

Jessie Li,

I had an excellent experience with Budget Containers! Sean and Chris were extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire purchase process. They answered all my questions, guided me through every step, and made sure everything went smoothly. Their customer service was outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Highly recommend Budget Containers to anyone looking for quality products and trustworthy service!

Junko Sasaki Baldwin,

We read good reviews and gave Budget Shipping Containers a try. They did not disappoint, and lived up to their reputation. Both Harvey from the office and the driver Ollie made sure every step go smoothly. Thank you very much for your excellent service.

Will Moody,

A great experience. Saffy was helpful from start to finish and very patient with our requirements. Delivery also went very well. Thank you!

George Owen,

Great company to do business with. The communication from start to finish was great. Very helpful and professional customer service. Delivery was great, the driver was professional and did an amazing job of getting the container in place. Look forward to working with you again.

Iain Winnard,

Excellent experience with Budget Shipping Containers. Saffy and the team are brilliant! Great communication, good pricing and effortless delivery. We will be back for more. - Hilltop Country House.

Mark Ambrose,

Absolutely brilliant! Great communication prior to ordering, very good pricing. On the day, there were difficulties getting the 3 x 20ft containers on site (due to narrow gates). The 2 guys delivering were exceptional, working around the problems and placing the 3 containers where they were supposed to be. Highly recommended.

Mark Ambrose,

Samantha Wakeford,

I’ve had an excellent experience! Their pricing is very competitive compared to others in the market, which makes them a great choice without compromising on quality. What really stands out, though, is the customer service — responsive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for both value and outstanding service!

Liam McCabe,

Great experience! Communication was brilliant and made it super easy all the way through. Delivery driver was brand new as well

Sam Beasley,

Who knew that you can buy a flat pack shipping container? We wanted a shipping container but needed a crane to get it over the building which was a huge cost. But the wonderful Kelsie came up with a plan - flat pack. Nothing is too much trouble, changing the date - no problem Worrying about the delivery/install time - no problem we will be there in 10 minutes. We couldn't have picked a better company Kelsie your a superstar, thank you for all your help

Marleen Skinner,

I highly recommend Budget Shipping Containers.The quality and condition of the container I received was exactly what I expected. The delivery process was smooth and quick, with everything arriving on time as promised. A special shout-out to one of the Sales Executives Liam, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and kept the communication clear and efficient.

Dean Williamson, LW Developments

I recently purchased two 20ft high cube containers from Budget Shipping Containers, and I couldn't be happier with the service and quality. Kelsie was incredibly friendly and helpful, answering all my questions with impressive knowledge. The containers were delivered right on time, and I was amazed by the value for money—far better priced than competitors. The quality of the containers exceeded my expectations. Both arrived in immaculate condition, and the internal lining was done to a very high standard, even down to the careful masticing of the joints. The attention to detail was evident throughout. I'm very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Budget Shipping Containers to anyone in need of reliable, high-quality storage solutions

Dan Iggulden,

Saffy was really helpful and made the while process very simple!

Christopher Beardsmore,

I'm incredibly impressed with the service and dedication of BSC, and I'm proud to have worked with them over the last few months to find us a solution. Our entrance left us with many challenges and logistics issues as we have a low road bridge overhead with tricky access. David helped us find an alternative which we were happy with and went ahead with. On the day of delivery our carefully laid out plans were not possible due to issues outside our control, however their delivery driver went the extra mile and managed to squeeze through the gap to make the delivery where we needed it all along. It's made our job many times easier for us. A+ to BSC, and A+ to their delivery partner. Would 10/10 recommend. Thanks, Chris.

Budget Shipping Containers (shout out to Saffy) have been absolutely fantastic to deal with, it was refreshing to deal with a business who cares and does a darn good job of it! Also, a serious big thank you to the wonderful driver who worked very hard to position the canteen in a very tricky place, a lot would have called it quits and left, but he seemed to enjoy the challenge. Will recommend to anyone asking, with pleasure.

Harj Singh,

Great service from Kelsie who kept me updated on progress throughout. Very professional, would definitely use again.

Leah Leonard,

Very competitive prices. I Spoke with and dealt with Kelsie on a number of occasions regarding different types of containers. I had a breakdown of prices on a quote within the hour. The communication with the company was excellent they always e mailed or phoned back. I ordered a 20ft, used once container and it was in fantastic condition. Delivery was on the day I asked for and the delivery guy (Scott) was excellent. Thank you all. I would highly recommend Budget shipping containers.

Nikki Day, Loughton Self Drive
