Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a 20ft container in Stockport?

Prices vary depending on condition, availability, and haulage. Because costs move with the market, we don’t publish fixed rates; get an accurate figure with a personalised quote.

Is it better to buy or hire?

Hire suits for short-term or uncertain timeframes. For long-term use, buying often delivers better value. We’ll price both so you can compare.

How secure are your containers?

Very secure. Heavy-gauge steel construction, robust door gear, and a fitted lockbox are standard features. Add a high-security padlock for extra protection.

Do containers need maintenance?

Minimal. Marine-grade paint and Corten steel keep them tough; a little hinge lubrication now and then helps doors run smoothly.

Do I need planning permission in Stockport?

Often not for temporary use, but longer-term or prominent placements may need approval. See our Stockport planning guide or speak to the council.

How are containers delivered?

By a HIAB crane truck, which offloads and positions the unit on your site. You’ll need firm, level ground and clear overhead access.

Where should I place my container?

Use level, solid ground (such as concrete, tarmac, or compacted gravel). We usually offload from the truck’s side; clear access helps us place it perfectly.

Can I purchase my hired container later?

Potentially, buy-out options may be available on selected hire units. Ask the team for current availability.

Do you buy back containers in Stockport?

Yes, subject to condition and demand. We’ll assess and make a fair offer at current market rates.

How many pallets fit in a 20ft container?

As a guide, up to 10 standard pallets (orientation dependent). For precise fit, check our dimensions pages: 20ft and 40ft.

Can I customise my container?

Absolutely, insulation, lining, electrics, doors, windows, ramps, and paint are all available. See our modification services.

How quickly can you deliver in Stockport?

Typically, within a few working days, depending on stock and access. We’ll confirm a firm date when you book.

A few of our Trustpilot reviews.

Great service and good value

Very helpful staff who answered any questions I had and provided a quote promptly for the hire of a storage container. The whole process from my initial enquiry, to ordering a container and it being delivered to site was straightforward and efficiently handled. The storage container was in a very good, clean condition and good value to hire.

Excellent company - great service

We were messed around by another supplier and so after weeks of waiting to no avail we got a refund and went to these guys. Their communication was excellent and within days we had our container delivered. Container in excellent condition, the delivery driver was very helpful and arrived on time, and the total price was the cheapest we could fine. Highly recommended.

From initial contact through to…

From initial contact through to delivery the whole experience was excellent. In particular promised phone calls to arrange delivery and access issues happened on time and everything went smoothly.
