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.
